Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure where to pose this question so I’ll give it a shot here. I’ve been using these runes on my WvW Thief a while now. I have a love hate relationship with them. Mostly because they are buggy as hell. They do save me when I make a mistake quite a lot though so overall they are still worth it but lots of time I’ll still take damage while inside iceblock and die.

What I’m trying to figure out is, what kind of damage ignores the immunity effect of Iceblock? It seems like something necros can do does for sure but I can’t pinpoint it. Knowing what can kill us in iceblock will help in those situations where you let it happen on purpose or to shadow-step out faster if that kind of threat is around.

Anyone know the answer to this?

I’ve never used them, but I bet it’s condition damage that hits you through the ice block.

You are defiantly immune to new conditions. I’m pretty sure you take damage from existing conditions though. For me, it almost always combines with the Last Refuge & con remove trait so I remove 1 condition right away and a 2nd one 3 seconds in. I wonder if traps/wells placed on top of the ice-block ignore it though.

just going to throw this out there, not too sure how it works though since I don’t play a necro. but could it possibly be the corrupt boon by a necro? I had this happen to me while dagger storming one time and I ended up asking the invader. completely threw me off guard. that being said, I have never used the svanir rune either – no clue if the corrupt boon would end up affecting the rune (buggy you say).
