Guild Wars 2

If you’re immobilized in mid air while jumping or using a leap skill, the game will consider you to be falling until the duration of the immobilize is complete. You cannot use any skills at all.

This is pretty gamebreaking in PvP, and I’m surprised it hasn’t been fixed already. There have been plenty of times where I’ve been hit with a three or four second immobilize while using a leap skill and I’m left with what’s essentially an unbreakable four second stun.

certain instant skills will still function. On my guard, i can use judges intervention to escape.
But on my thief i’m pretty kittened =/ good thing i pvp so little

Its a common bug and I am sure AN team already know about it. They either ignore it or just cant fix it. Either way I dont see this bug getting fix anytime soon.

The same thing can happen on seemingly level ground, but I think it might be due to slight slopes or ridges making the character very briefly fall. Then when an immob hits during that “fall”, you’re stuck.

Another possible theory I’ve though about is the location of your current target. Perhaps there is some issue with skills not activating when immobilized while facing away from your target. This shouldn’t be an issue with self/untargeted/PBAoE skills, but there is something that can prevent them from activating while on seemingly level ground.
