Break Free

[Algrim]

^ I agree. Move it to the PvP attunement so people at least have to work up a bit for it.

And where is it now? ;)

[Aphophis]

It works in lots of places.

You can break free of the terrible roar (aoe fear by those big mobs in rotp before silgen)

You can break free of the mind control debuff in the earth t2 raid rift (though the timer is nowhere near low enough if you get picked repeatedly)

you can break free of the root from the first boss in DH right before he tries to cleave you.

... and the list goes on, and on, and on.

Break free from Estrode's MC. Which makes the encounter even more laughable.

Does that actually work? Because I tried to break free from Akylios' MC and I ended up in a weird state where I had control of my character but Akylios was friendly and all raid members were enemies so I just stood around and did nothing.

I think the same thing happens on the T2 earth rift if you try and break out of mind control (or have it cleansed off). Still, standing around doing nothing is less harmful than flipping out and attacking the rest of the raid (especially for the warriors who always forget to unqeuip their weapons...)

Bah, next you'll tell me that you can use Cleanse Soul to clear off the Runic Vengeance DoT once it's damage ticks up.

Wait, you can? Oh. Well... Effective content nerf FTW?

My favorite is strafe, i always make sure to test it out to see which mechanics it makes me immune to

It makes you immune to heat funnel.

... oh wait, was that supposed to be a secret? D:

Smells like someone hasn't actually tried it on the t2 earth rr.

[Hellebron]

Targeting an enemy while mind controlled also usually causes you to stand there doing nothing.

Big whoop, this boss is a loot pinata anyway. Trion will fix it in the next patch, no big deal. If it was breaking mechanics on akylios it'd be a different story.

[Itseotle]

And where is it now? ;)

No where. Its an ability one simply has (at least at lv50)

[ChainsawPlankton]

they went through and made it so you couldn't use break free on a bunch of mechanics, such as the cocoon on the spider boss in darkening deeps a while back. although it does seem to work on a whole bunch of things still.

You have it from level 1.

It was never really an issue. Couldn't get it unless you had a 0 point pvp soul... and there's only a handfull of specs that affords a 0 point soul.

Now everyone has it.

I'm not entirely convinced its worth their time to go back and retroactively change everything that wasn't supposed to be break free-able... though its probably something they should keep in mind in future content.
