Invulnerability is absurdity stupid and frustrating to play against. Remove this from the game. 8 2 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mziven.2095 Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share Posted June 25, 2022 lol, I was drunk and forum posting. I apologize. I do intensely dislike Invulnerability in PvP however. It feels like the other player just called a time-out and no longer wants to play with me but my proposal is likely a poor one. The invulnerability indicator is a not so subtle queue to stop burning cool downs. If it were 99% damage reduction I'd just keep burning through skills to little or no effect. I play necro so I likely just have skill envy. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CutesySylveon.8290 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 My only issue with Invulns are ones that allow cast time skill use during their durations. Looking at you, Distortion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalima.5490 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 (edited) I really think they need to let you CC during all invulns just so there is actual counter play to them rather than the game just stopping altogether, like if you overcharge shot into an ele's wind or magnetic shield it should end the effect immediately and launch them.

Looking at you, Distortion. What about evade on top of mobility skills ? What about block with hard CC on low CD ? What about facetanking all burst thanks to class gameplay ? What about evade and damage skills ? Mean I'm ok talking about invul while casting but I'm a little edgy when I look at other classes sustain 3 in 1 skills. (You know, meta classes since 2 years+.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evade frames can be negated by barriers. Blocks are countered by unblockables. Conditions still tick for damage during both of these mechanics and neither of them are invulns like the OP and I were talking about. Distortion is literally 'Can't be touched by anything.'

Crab Fear.8623 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 This seems like a cry for mesmer nerfs... I've personally designed a mesmer build specifically for dealing with Harbingers lol, so it makes me wonder if others have done the same and that the OP was playing Harb when he came across one of us.

Ok then give me the said skills used in meta and I will be fine dropping distortion. You now after paper craft there is reality and even if on paper it's op, in reality skills with 3 effects packaged in are better than one scope skill, should it negate all damage.

Actually no, distortion is the best effect in the game, hands down. I didn't make any claims about classes in their overall state, I'm just stating a fact. Distortion is literal invincibility with no restrictions on skill use, which is relevant to what the OP was talking about, and it's better than anything you might be envious of.

Yep, paper vs reality and overall balance. To give more details, with distortion, yeah you can burn any skills and be immune during this time. But, when you have 3 in 1 skill, you can use one of the 3 purpose depending on the situation without having to burn more skills it's more versatility in 1 button and btw it's meta.

FarmBotXD.1430 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 if this was a war card game where each player drops 1 card and the one with higher value wins then yes, mesmers distortion is the " best " effect, its invuln that lets you move, attack, revive, finish do anything you wont. But its not, its not 1 skill against 1 skill, its entire class kit vs another class, and mesmer as always is found wanting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
