Ancient Jungle Wurm Eggs Unblockable!
I can confirm, it makes the wurm fight REALLY unwieldy. Tons of eggs. Please fix it when you can! Thanks
Recent changes to projectiles, (Malrona etc), have appeared to have changed the nature of the Ancient Jungle Wurm Egg projectiles such that they are no longer blockable by Reflect skills (Feedback, Temporal Curtail, Wall of Reflection) or Absorption skills (Smoke Screen, Swirling Winds). This is causing tremendous difficulty on the wurm.
Yeah, I saw this happen. People were not able to block projectiles with any reflect skills. It made it difficult to fight the wurm with all the adds. Hopefully this issue can be fixed.
I’ve noticed the same behavior and it does make fighting the triple trouble wurm a lot more tedious. There is no mention of this in any of the patch notes as far as I can tell either, so I’m assuming this behavior is entirely unintended. It would be nice if this could get fixed.
Can confirm, most reflect skills including wall of reflection not working
Yeah, pretty sure this isn’t a bug. I think they just stealth nerfed it.
One experienced elementalist can still block all eggs by rotating Obsidian Flesh with Fortify+Mist Form off cool down while standing in the correct spot inside of the wurm.

Well, if it was, a confirmation that it was indeed intentional would be nice.
It is kinda disappointing that we still haven’t had an official response about this bug yet. Considering it’s the largest world boss event. Im really not impressed with Anet’s response recently to community concerns… All it would take is someone to say yes this is a bug or no it is not and then we can just change our strategies to cope with it.
Ive been checking the dev tracker and this thread every day now for like what 4 days?
Edit: edited to be nicer..

Rumors are that a developer said to some players that the change to reflects for the Triple Wurm is unintentional. Unfortunately I don’t have any source for this. I heard it from some commanders who do Triple Wurm daily.
Hello! As you probably know, since last patch we are not able to block egg spawn anymore with projectile blocking skills. So people from gw2community.com and me invented new way to block eggs, but accidently we also found, that this method can block husks aswell. I think its exploit thing, but since we are not able to block eggs by doing it old way (with projectile blocking skills), we are doing it with new tactic. Why Im thinking its exploit? Cuz we shouldnt be able to block husks with that. Now Im going to describe new tactic as good as possible. First of all to block eggs/husks now we are using skill which gives us “Invulnerable” but also have in description “Prevents Capture-Point Contribution” for example [Mist Form] from elementalist skills. Skills without “Prevents Capture-Point Contribution” didnt work. I think skills with this capture point contribution thing in it shouldnt be able to block anything since its for PVP, so thats why im thinking its a bug/exploit. My question is simple. Is this an exploit and can we use it untill you fix the problem with skill that are not beeing able to block eggs with projectile block description in it? Feel free to join our wurm run tomorrow and see it by yourself(our new diboof tactic). If you can answer me/us asap we would be grateful since its bugging us right now.
http://gw2community.com/topic/434-diboof-post-362014-patch/ <— here is exactly said how we are doing it right now. As I said, im pretty sure it is exploit but for now also it is our only way to deal with eggs. Thanks for reading and answering!

Any news on this? I notice that this was not in today’s patch notes. (Though thank heavens for the Tequatl fix.) Can anyone confirm if eggs are still “unblockable” projectiles?
It would help a lot just to have a response on whether or not this is an intentional change. Eggblocking has been a central part of Wurm strategy since the beginning, and knowing what the intention is going forward would help a lot with planning.
