Elusive MISTFORM BROKEN rooting and stunning possible video attached

Finally I was able to show proof that mistform is broken and stuns are able to go through... The skill tooltips reads as follows: "Grants you major expedition, increases your movement speed by 30% for 4 seconds...Also removes and grants you immunity to ALL crowd control and immobilization effects WHILE active."

That sure sounds contrary to what I recorded in the video below... I was not moving 30% faster... and I was repeatedly snared and rooted.

    I didnt see any roots, but i did see gapclosersnares. Those snares are immune to purges/immunities so that the zerg wont have to work hard to catch and kill you. Its intended, zos want people to zerg up and lagg the server.

    Keep in mind you move 30% faster then your walking speed, so won't be going as fast as someone running.

    But yeah, still looks like the gap closer snare was still applying + that stun at the end.

    Also would recommend putting this in general discussion, even though it is pretty much a pvp exclusive skill, ZoS ain't going to read this here.

    Working as intended but the intention is a pretty childish idea

    To think there are people playing today who never experienced mist form as it was at launch.
    Unsubbed and no longer playing, but still checking the Alliance War forum for the lulz.

    Gap closer shouldn't have a snare they just need to fix them instead of adding a bad aid fix like this

    There isn't anything to fix, really. They either accept that targets can try to run even when someone uses a gapcloser on them or not.
    The second option is absurd for several reasons and yet we're stuck with it...

    Yes their is the reason it needs to be fix the reason they added immobilized and than the snare because crit rush and shield charge wouldn't hit their targets.So instead of actually fixing gap closer they added this mess.

    Kind of hard to remember... Honestly some of those old features could be added back imo. Not magicka regen though.

    The penalty (no magicka regen) is still there. But if you play in heavy armor or even you use Black rose set you can be in mist form for ever if somebody is attacking you.

    The consequences of gap closer snare.

    It's a terrible mechanic and basically a death sentence when attempting to kite. They should remove the snare applied, it doesn't make sense to have just because you may end up 3 feet away from your enemy instead of on top of them.

    Yeah, it's not the mistform that is broken, it's ZOS's gap closer "fix" that is.

    Old mist form had these characteristics.
    You could not be targeted unless you were tab targeted before going into mist form.
    While in mist form, there was no alliance indicator or health bar so you were hard to see.
    You could be taloned by DK - this was the counter play.
    But there was no gap close mini-snare, so you could actually get away.

    LoS fixes gap closers, not completely but enough to split numbers.

    Actual mist form is almost perfect, only one problem - you can be kicked out from it on first second if some laggy NB spam Mass Hysteria near you.
