Guild Wars 2

So, I was just taking part in a Stronghold match. the enemy team had a necromancer on their side, and normally that would be no big deal. At least until it came time to channel mist essence for a hero.

See, When she went into Plague Form, she started channeling, and it basically made her invulnerable to any attempts to stop the channeling. Hitting her did nothing because of the increased toughness and vitality transformation skills grant, and plague form prevents knockback through stability stacks, all while inflicting effects on those of us trying to melee due to being in plague form. I’m not certain whether this is intended or a bug, but if it’s intended it needs to be changed asap – transformation skills shouldn’t allow for automatic captures like that.

I thought it was a bug too, but unlike some channels normal hits don’t interrupt that channeling. It’s pretty ridiculous and I hope when stronghold comes out they don’t let you channel while in a Transformation because it’s kind of dumb; Plague necros might become a mandatory part of the meta if they don’t address this.
