Guild Wars 2

Yeah I’m getting this with increasing frequency now… been kicked out twice in the last hour. Very annoying. The last time was while creating a character… just about finished so I lost all the work I put into it. Sigh.

Death blossom, an evasive attack, isn’t (reliably).

I don’t actually think the final “Invulnerable” should have been applied, FWIW, but the game said I was… that may be a separate bug but it’s still a bug.

@11s DB interrupted and I take 841 damage.
@16s DB started before Warrior’s attack (hard to see this on Youtube, but watching the source video frame by frame reveals it), but no evade — I take 843 and crippled.
@25s I’m invulnerable (!) but I take a kill shot (downed).

If the evade mechanic isn’t reliable it makes it very hard to melee effectively against anything but trash mobs. It was far more survivable to switch to p/p and blind/stealth/evade, but you don’t do much damage that way. ArenaNet bills this class as having evasions skills that make it capable of tanking… for such a class, this mechanic fails, especially when combined with the many valid complaints about how stealth fails.
