Guild Wars 2

By the way, although the title is similar to this thread, the bug is different so I decided to post as a separate bug thread.

I have a warrior using mace/shield and the Missile Deflection trait. I notice that some abilities are not blocked when I use Shield Stance or Counterblow. In particular, I can still be pulled even though I have Shield Stance up.

Why is this effect not blocked? Is this the intended behavior?

Some skills however are unblockable and can therefor can not be countered by this technique.

This includes some skill which won’t do any damage (and don’t count as attacks) but consist purely of some CC effect. Only stability or evading will protect against these.

How can I tell if a skill is unblockable? Is this property for a specific skill or for the pull effect?

It’s not the pull effect in general, but a set of skills which don’t count as attacks. It’s rather simple: If the skill itself won’t do any damage, then it isn’t an attack either.

So a skill like Scorpion Wire should probably not pull then, should it?

I would actually need to test this but don’t know how to. Any tips?

Was looking at the Pull section of the wiki. If your understanding is correct, then some of these pull skills should work while some should not. Wish it was easier to tell.

I would also love that this was better described. In this case, I would like to change this bug report to a description bug. Do you also feel some explanation is missing?
