Curunen.8729 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I'm using this skill more regularly now and have noticed quite often when cced the stunbreak does not work immediately, which is really bad in wvw/pvp scenario. I have to hit the skill two or three times sometimes for it to work - or have to waste dodge to break stun which kind of defeats the point of having a stunbreak utility. So most of the time now I'm using StG simply as a backwards dodge with extra evade frame on the floor - ie the stunbreak being unreliable renders that part of it useless.Is it a problem my end/lag, or is it a bug? I'm not sure because every other stunbreak works flawlessly. Anyone else noticed this problem with this skill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispy.7182 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 This skill also doesn;t work sometimes for me. I haven't tried it when CCd, but when I just want to evade backwards, it doesn't work, and I have to hit the bottom a few times before it does it. Looks like this is an ongoing issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm.3120 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 The question is... why would someone use it ... The same thought anet when made this skill, why someone would use it, no one would notice this skill doesnt really work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koen.1327 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 bugged since release, the skill goes on queue instead of being instant - even if you get stunned so you gotta jam that button a few more times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quadox.7834 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 It is becaue it doesn't take priority in the skill queue unlike other stunbreaks. Skills that daze also have a priority but chaos storm doesn't (fix pls). Mind stab does, however, and this is because it used to daze back in beta.

Lincolnbeard.1735 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 At this point I think it is better to open a thread with all mesmer bugs, since there are tons of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prob is that sometimes happens for no apparent reason. Kinda like getting obstructed message cuz of pebble on the road (we all know it happens). This becomes even more apparent if we introduce ledges and stairs. Perfect example being asura arena.Mirage ambushes (with IH) overwrite clone shatters. I.e. you send your clones to their death and try to cover cast your next cast with MC, only to find out your clones suddenly stop their shatter process to perform an ambush insteas. Gg your shatter is on CD and you got nothing for it. This becomes really apparent if you try to shatter at range.Sand Through Glass doesn’t overwrite the current action which is true for every other stun break in the game. Thus making it useless, If you have something else queued up.Will update as I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has happened to me on numerous occasions, so I'm know it's not an isolated case.The reason why I'm going after class mechanics instead of bugged skills more is because, I can work around bugged utilities and traits, I just won't pick them. But when you have bugs that just break the class on mechanical level, you really can't do much, other than forcefully playing around the bugs and hinder yourself in the process.
