Pretty much near impossible to break free.

More specifics please? Because I can break free from it just fine.

Half or more of the time you’re hit with draining shot you cannot cc break. It’s like when people used to cancel it with dodge roll and you couldn’t break it, you’re just stuck in cc. It’s a similar problem that was had with rune cage where you have to for full animation of the caster, meaning the little red heal things to fly all the way back, to cc break. Even then, I find myself more often than not stuck kneeling on the floor.

You need to wait for your character to actually hit the ground from the knock-back animation before spamming CC break. Draining Shot is coded to have its stun after the knockback, not during it.

You cannot break free immediately. Your character is waiting for something before it gives you the chance to break free. It could be that some flag for break free is not enabled until some animation happens who knows what is the code.

Tried breaking free after hitting the floor... still hit or miss if it works.

this (from what i personally see because I use it) is FALSE.
it does not do what your saying it does.
i WISH it was doing that, but it is not, all i see is people being hit by the draining shot and they get blown back, and they are forced OFF me like is intended but im doing it at the perfect time where they had a planned insta 3 hit kill planned for me that i ruined for them because i pushed them off me, and i time it perfectly and they get off me like is intended.

i know you guys Love getting right up in my face, stunn locking me with your CC's and insta 3 hit people to death with your exploit of animation cancels within one second, but this skill gives me a slight bit more chance to escape that (from a distance) and allows us ranged archers a chance to keep enemy at a distance.

but you guys come to forums and try to make mass complaint threads about it, needs to be noted to the developers that this is a campaign to end our ability to defend ourselves.
and is out of line.

we long range archers deserve to have this defense weather you want us to have it or not is not yours to call.
it's the call of the devs, who made it possible now for us ranged players to have a chance.

Not trying to make a giant complaint thread or anything. I am just discussing my interactions with the skill. It reminds me of when rune cage had that big delay in cc break, only sometimes I can’t cc break it at all. I know I’m not the only one who has experienced it.
