Guild Wars 2

Dahkeus.8243:

I miss interrupts.

I mean, yes, GW2 technically has interrupts, but it’s not nearly the same. I miss clutch shutdowns by stopping a heal with distracting shot.

This is also why I just haven’t enjoyed the mesmer in GW2.

I think it probably mainly cause the function of the mesmer looks completely different in this game. GW1 you had the Anti-mage, anti-melee, e-denial, enchant removal, hexing etc. But in GW2 all I see really in clones and more clones and damage that’s it.
I mean as a warrior, GW1 we had those conjure builds, knock-downs galore, damage spikes, and, everyone’s hated condition, deep wound easily enough available.
In GW2 all I’ve played so far is banner support war or heal shout support war. Nothing else I tried feels even remotely comfortable.
I think even in PvE its bad for interrupts, at least in PvP only got stun breaks to worry about and drawing out those stun breaks is great, but all bosses have those stupid defiance stacks to prevent interrupts.
I wouldn’t mind if it was a 30s buff to prevent stuns and whatnot but its always multiple of 5 stacks so you need to do at least 5 of those kind of attacks to at least interrupt a skill once. And as you know people spam skills so having an opportunity of a boss not having that buff is slim to none.

I’ve been going to straight of devastation for a couple of weeks now seeing it always bugged. Between bugged events like the escorts being broken off their path finding, or Just the invasion front not progressing at all, I can understand it being broken for the first few weeks, but now this thing is just getting ridiculous.
I would of thought by now for the events problem they would of band-aid fixed it with an hour long timer, so if an event gets stuck that after an hour it auto fails and reset.
But I guess it is not as simple as that since I don’t know how their algorithm for events work or even for that matter if SoD is unique in it’s coding. all we got to do is wait and see if they ever fix it, or will it always be broken and make legendaries that much harder to get.

It is a shame really, I hardly ever see people calling out for it maybe the odd group or two but now I get the feeling it is going to be harder to get someone for it.
If they would just fix the inquest that they don’t spawn infinitely, or switch it back so when you beat the second boss they stop spawning it would be ok.

Just a heads up actually it is just the risen grubs who are displaying this message.
noticed it in my friends personal story as well as when fighting risen giant.
