Did you know you could roll dodge from Dark Convergence and take zero damage?

Yeah I thought I had to break free but I accidentally roll dodged and saw no damage done to me. It's about time they started implementing mechanics like this in the game.

One simple roll dodge after you get caught in it will work.

Big if true.

Did you know the groups that it was designed to stop cast them in a series so you roll dodge from one into another?

And that roll dodge only works if the player throwing out that dark convergence doesn't follow up with something else. The dark convergence alone you can just stand there and hold block and be fine.

This ^

Fine if it's 1v1.
If it's in a group, even in a 2v1 situation, good luck....

Did you know that you can't dodge roll streak? Or that you can't dodge roll AoE damage in general, which smart groups will stack directly on top of the convergence so that when you are pulled in you instantly die.

Like, literally you could make the set do zero damage and it would still be an extremely powerful tool for killing groups of players.

Ok guys you right. I forgot that they can toss some toxic trash where it pulls everyone in. I was reminded when I roll dodged and was left with a slither of health. However, I was just so surprised that roll dodge was actually working in BGs.

Usually I have to go in there as an unkillable tank and just troll around while like 4 or 5 people take a while to kill me.

You can, but as an Australian you gotta hope that the server even registers that you've dodge rolled and doesn't pull you back in from outside the AoE which means you have to dodge roll again, and it also stops you from casting any healing to mitigate from all the other trash everyone dumps on you at the time you're pulled in. Like another DC.

Yeah, that set ability is so lame I can't even think of a legit reason why they made the snare/pull set when and or if basically they wanted a good cheat mechanic. I posted on this myself, 4-5 players running the same thing and NO , you will not eb able to dodge roll out, and or stand there and block the damage. Doing so eats up stam right quick,m and the more people in it, the BIGGER the exponential damage it does. And FRANKLY, I am aside myself on this, I was at the very top of Fort Rayles, someone was able to toss up a caltrops WAY THE HECK UP THERE, (I thought that skill had a range???) And yet, by doing so, that dark convergence pulled me alllllllll the way down to the front door (Inner gate) Where conveniently there were 50 AP all down there waiting for me to say hello.

How do you think that went?

yeah, sometimes DC is heavy ping dependant. You get pulled to orb, you press dodge like crazy and it's just doesn't work at all. Next second you dead. Holding block can fail as well due to many ults could be casted right in orb (Necro ult, Meteor or just bomber).

Call_of_Red_Mountain · September 2021

Yes, I know and always roll dodge. Many ppl don't and this is why you can see all these dead bodies after dc proc.

Wait, someone doesn't dodge roll out if it?!

I only die to it when i accidentally like run into it without the pull having been applied to me, when all aoe is invisible. Happens maybe once a week.
