Guild Wars 2

Hey, just want to point out that you cannot break the control effect from a Blowout / Launch with any stun breaker.
When you use a stun breaker after a blowout or launch, your character is still immobilized for the duration of the blowout / launch, and cannot perform any action. It’s just like you didn’t do anything, except that your character is standing instead of lying on the ground, and your skills may or may not appear under CD (from the blowout / launch) depending on the stun breaker used, but either way, you can’t use any of your skills (even if they appear not to be under CD).

I am sure it’s not intended, because it makes updraft imbalanced. Are you aware of that, are you planning to do something about it ?

As far as I know, it’s not supposed to break it. The only way to counter it is with stability.

EDIT: Just checked the wiki and I’m wrong. They do counter it.

You can break it if you use stun breaker AFTER your character lands on the ground. Make sure you stopped moving before using it.

Sounds like a bug. And even if not, still an imbalance.

Well, the animation of your character being thrown away lasts like 1.5 seconds out of the 2s of the blowout. If you have waited that long, there is no point stunbreaking for like half a second :s

This is currently how it apparently works.

I know for a fact that you used to be able to stunbreak while still in midair from a blowout. I did it all the time with Elixirs on my engineer, however, this is apparently no longer the case.

Was the cause for much amusement amongst my guild to see my Charr go flying, only to halt and instantly stand up as if nothing had happened.

Not sure if it’s a global patch change or some kind of a bug.

Could we have just a word from a dev to know if that is intended or not please ?
