As elementalist, I always have mist form utility skill ready. So, if I’m unable to dodge his chain of skills, mist form is there. You can easily avoid any massive damage and prepare for your counter attack, or even run away…
^ This. Always have 2 defensive skills (Anti CC). And then counter attack. You wont always win, thats for sure
Mist Form: It states in the tooltip that you invulnerable for the duration of the spell, but I have died countless times to DoT damage during this form, if this is intended, then the tooltip needs to be changed to state that I think.
The damage/dot is already applied. Invulnerability will make sure new incoming damage is ignored. You’ll find these types of situation in almost all games.
Armor of the Earth: It states that it breaks stuns, and then further makes you immune to those effects, but I recall being stunned and being unable to break stuns with it.
As the wiki states: you’ll get Stability:http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Stability from Armor of Earth. This will ignore control effects. BUT when you go check the Effects:http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Effect you’ll see that in the conditions (not the control effects) they include Cripple, Immobilized, Chilled, … So not all CC (crowd Control) effects are ignored.
Arc Lightning, the cast doesnt stop once the target is dead or when changing targets and sometimes when the cast has finished.
Truly annoying
As for the rest I agree.
