Guild Wars 2

Since about 2 or 3 weeks ago I’ve noticed that Illisionary Counter does not block various attacks now. I’m finding it difficult to nail down which specific attacks these are, but it often seems to happen at random.

One instance that I am certain of is the giant wurm north of Bay on a borderland map of WvW. I’ve been playing WvW for well over a year now and have always been able to block the rock that the wurm hurls at you. However, with the last living story update that no longer works and the rock goes through the block to cause immediate damage.

It would be nice if one of you nice red guys could confirm if any changes been made to Illusionary Counter or other active block skills to account for this? I’ve actually heard mention that other classes might be experiencing the same thing.

Some skills are unblockable.

I am aware of this. It’s perfectly possible that some mob skills have been changed to now be unblockable. There’s a thread on the Warrior forum documenting the same thing.
