This.
That smokescreen HAMSTER is the most ridiculous ability in pvp. Against 1 person fine, but to skill block every enemy player in the area is absolutely game breaking. Your argument is invalid.
You do know that CWs have a skill that sucks every single enemy into it, and cc's them for longer than Smoke Bomb lasts, right?
Impossible to Catch only makes us immune to Daze or effects that cause us to "lose control" of our character. It does NOT affect Knockups, Knockdowns, or Knockbacks, where is currently the most prevalent CC in the game (all classes but Rogues have them).
You can dodge roll out of Smoke Bomb. You can't dodge roll when laying on the ground, followed by being knocked 10+ yards back, and then immediately thrown in the air, due to the fact you can't act even when your character is standing up from such effects.
Knockdowns and Backs have always been toxic to PvP, due to the simple fact we should have to outskill our opponent, not have a combo that completely negates our opponent's ability to fight back.
Ok this is how I know you're full of HAMSTER.
You can't dodge when dazed, thus can't dodge out of smoke bomb.....
And yes, that cc immunity stops knockbacks.

This thread is is hilarious. OP is trolling because the only thing that can stop circle of invulnerability cleric spam is someone knocking them out of the circle.
As for me, i just think that instead of a specific mechanic, the concepts "hard CC", "animation locks", and "dodging" can not possibly go well in terms of pvp balance and the game is doomed to be imbalanced in this way.
Stop acting like it crits for 20k+ when you are >20% health, because it doesn't.
As a fully geared GWF I have definitely been one-shot by this ability (shocking execution). At full health it has crit me for 24k+ multiple times, and I only have 23k hp.
That being said, rogues are indeed my easiest kill, and 9 out of 10 times die instantly to a Flourish -> Takedown -> IBS combo. I just sit by my cleric, wait for them to pop, and kill them instantly.
I've also noticed that GF are the only class that can stunlock me for 10+ seconds and kill me with no actions allowed. I pretty much can't engage one without pre-popping Unstoppable (if available). Team fights are different however, once GFs get flanked and opened up, they go down like all others.
I wouldn't hold my breath for any pvp balancing what-so-ever though. Best to just get a premade of competent people, set up some strategies and have some fun.

You mean the one you can dodge out of long after it has been cast? Try again, nooblet.
Also. ROFL at rogues complaining about CC.
