Guild Wars 2

It seems to be happening when I use the Guardian skill Shield of Absorption. If I am rooted somehow while the skill is active, after all the effects wear off, I cannot move at all. I have to die or log out. I am stuck in place and it is very frustrating. I have only noticed this in pvp but it might happen in pve as well since I rarely use that skill in pve.

Were you rooted by a Ranger by chance? Ranger’s possess the Entangle ability which permanently roots their opponent until the vines are destroyed. If this happens in PvE, you can teleport to the nearest waypoint as well.

I can’t say for sure if there was an Entangle cast since I usually get spammed in WvW. The first time it happened I tried for maybe 2 minutes to move my character, but I could not walk or jump. It is not just for a few seconds, it seems indefinite until I am killed or log out. I have only noticed this after coming out of Shield of Absorption.
