Guild Wars 2

This is awesome, they give Basi Venom “unblockable” which is fine and all (should have been here earlier imho) but I’ve encountered what i hope to be a bug and have tested it out multiple times
if you apply the venom and actually hit an enemy with the venom who is blocking during the attack the dmg will go through, yes, but the venom won’t, yet the stack is lost, meaning you do not get the stun off, just the dmg. In addition to that if you are invisible and trying to land a backstab, the game will do an autoattack instead. I’ve tested this out with friends multiple times and it keeps happening to me at least 8/10 times
Meaning that basi venom atm if bugs out does NOT stun a blocking foe and will ONLY hit him with 2 auto attacks, meaning useless 90% of the time unless he’s at 5% hp lols

Ha! Did you do a bug report on this and talk to a gm?

nah I’m taking a break, after this let down of a patch i didn’t feel like it ^^
and to be honest, as if anyone at anet gives a sh** xD

Just making sure, cause I ran into something like this as well, but it wasn’t an issue of the skill, rather he had multiple stacks of Stab. (Guardian popped Stand your ground and shelter)

I’ll test it around for a while if you want. But if they have stability or an auto-stun break the stone won’t stick.

Basilisk Venom: While under the effects of this venom, your attacks are unblockable.

Says nothing about the venom stun going through. Just that your ‘attacks’ are unblockable.

Looks like it’s working as intended and they gotcha with word play.

Also I believe this is meant to be used in conjunction with backstab. Making your backstab unblockable. So if that’s not happening, I believe that part is the bug.

Used it all day with hit/miss results. Generally the only time I didn’t stun someone is when they had stability.

Unblockable worked fine and performance/damage wise I didn’t notice anything. I dunno man it seems fine to me.

I did trigger a warriors auto stun break when he was using his shield, that implies the stun carries through. But it could have been a fluke.
