Guild Wars 2

I have stability going and mobile strikes trait and fighting large groups in wvw I still get rooted in place all the time. Is there a cooldown on it, or is it bugged? Or maybe I am misunderstanding what its actually is supposed to do.

It seems to me if I have this trait and I find myself not able to move, then the trait is worthless. Otherwise why have it?

That trait which breaks immobilize only works when you use movement skills
GS – #3 whirwind
Sword #2 leap

Also Balanced Stance never really worked for me at sPvP.
Strange world, we live in, us Warriors.

Balanced stance gives stability which prevents control effects. However immobilize is not a control effect but a condition, thus you will still be rooted in place.

Mobile strikes takes care of that as it removes immobilize on a movement skill GS 3,5; sword 2; shield 4. These will remove immobilize on skill use.

Works with greatsword 3 and 5, sword 2, axe F1, hammer F1, and shield 4

keep in mind, as you rush using the greatsword #5, it will not break immobilize, it’ll only work if you get immobilized before using it.

Don’t forget this is only removing immobilize, 9/10 times your gonna get hit with chill/cripple. You are not going to moving much anyways.

I can’t recall from memory, but I think binding roots might not be effected. Please correct me if I’m wrong though.

I think whirlwind will get out of binding roots, but rush wont.
