Guild Wars 2

do you guys experiencing this? my 2 or 3 out of 5 basilisk strike is like this!! so annoying

Yes, I too have experienced this a number of times. I thought it was just a fluke or me missing some counter ability but you can clearly tell they’re petrified so it doesn’t make sense.

I switched to lyssa runes for spvp because basilisk sucks and I use it for condi clears not offense.

Looks as though you have Sleight of Hand and Mug traited, which I think is what causes this. It’s happened to me a number of times where Basilisk Venom triggers upon Mug’s damage, but the daze seems to cancel out the stun somehow, allowing your target to keep moving.

Nooo but you see, they “fixed” it. Get it? It was a fix! They made it better! Can’t you see that? They always make thief better, more viable for tpvp, and so on, with each nerf to the already low-end profession.

You seriously just don’t understand. It’s working BETTER now! If you can’t see that, then you just don’t understand Anet-ese…

I have been saying this from 5 mins after the last patch, but A-Net seems to not care of us.
If you are running a 30 points in trickery build with daze on steal and you use basilisk venom and then steal, the daze effect overwrite the stun effect from daze. Basically is like we give a free stun break to our target. it’s a shame that A-Net broke in such a way 1 of our elite and it is still doing nothing to fix it.

bump anet………

Yeah, I’ve had this happen to my necro. No Stunbreaker used. Just able to run around.

10 days hav passed still they cant figure it out ? a little tweak/coding maybe? “hey just put 1.5secs stun on basilisk venom” is it that hard? or maybe they don’t care about thieves? or maybe low priority?

thnx for the info. . . gonna remove my 30 trickery trait then : (

Did that solve the problem?

Nope, still there.

The problem is sleight of hand + basilisk venom when used simultaneously. The daze cancels the basilisk venom out completely.

Hope they fix it soon because Basilisk venom is probably the most cop-out elite in the game unless you use lyssa runes.

Tested Basilisk venom with many skills. Using it and dazing your target removes the elite skill effect, and only daze is applied

Post it in the bugs forum, it’s obviously an unintended side effect.

Holy kitten, is this something to do with the fact that Daze prevents Stunbreaks?

Um, no. Have you used sleight of hand + basi before the patch? It doesn’t cancel the basilisk out.

Daze never prevents stunbreaks…stunbreaks break out of dazes.

If you stun or daze with BV it bugs out, letting the target being able to move around, been like that for a while.
