Vacuity powder and will of the bodhisattva

You could use ironguard right before it ends rather than vacuity powder (both cost about the same on Archosaur, I don't know if that is the case on your server).

But you are right that the antistun buff normally overwrites. I have seen barbs chain antistuns with vacuity powder in the same way and it works as expected. I don't know why it would work differently for a BM. I can try it on a sin and see if it will chain with maze steps correctly.

Anti stun buff does not override. I don't believe this is a bug.

I had the problem with the barb skill Violent Triumph and the Vacuity Powder. If I click the Vacuity before Violent Triumph ends, then the Vac never activates and my anti-stun ends with the VT skill. So what I do now is look at the buff icon under my character panel and have my mouse hovered over the Vacuity and click the vacuity when I see the anti-stun icon disappear.

So just because the Vacuity is used second, it won't overwrite the first anti-stun I guess because Violent Triumph prevents movement status ailments and maybe it sees the Vac as a movement status ailment instead of a movement immunity buff.

I don't like the way the skills are described because it seems contradictory the way they operate since Vacs seem like a buff to me and not an ailment and VT is an immune to ailment skill. It took me a long time to realize what was happening, when the Vacs seemed to end way before the time should allow. I hope something can be fixed, but they will probably come into this thread and call it a "Convenience Feature," and move on to some "Cherry Picking," which makes them look good in the short term while more serious business down-played.

Violent Triumph
A frenzied will possess your body, making you temporarily
immune to stun, freeze, and most other movement status ailments. Last 10 seconds.

Vacuity Powder
Makes player immune to all movement debuffs for the next 20 seconds.

It's kind of annoying with archers since if you cast wings of grace and alacrity too close together you end up losing the immunity buff entirely instead of it being extended.

I agree it would make more sense if that buff would refresh. Archer blazing arrow also has that problem.

It's been a problem for me too when I use Sage Unfetter.

And god's sake: Make blazing arrow overwrite itself. b:angry

YES!

I find it so irritating. *Any* buff should be able to overwrite itself so that you can refresh it before things like bosses.

As it stands, it is more balanced because you must be skilled at the game in order to pull off such stunt.

Skill in pwi = who can click the buttons first b:surrender.

To me that is not skills, that is why i like the auto pot feature, it used to be "skills" to be able to click your hp pots while fighting, most people don't even do it, and it frees up more slots for a bm to put skills and remove pots/charms from shortcuts.

Often times in pull, it is that 1~2 second that you wait for a skill to end and start the next one that the mob will seal/freeze you. Even if the skill says the effects are removed, the original seal/freeze will remain even if the skill/buff/apoc is active at that time. If you are sealed, you cast will of bodhi, the immunity part will only kick in after the original seal has worn off, even though the skill is active.

The above is a matter of interpretation, but to me, the seal should have been removed as soon as i used the skill, or i should not have been able to use that skill while the seal was in effect. Otherwise the word "immunity" holds no meaning.

As others pointed out, same thing happens with other skills that share icons as well, things get over written. Super annoying when you use demon roar and someone else uses lvl 1~2 roar.

That bug has got me killed so many times in NW >.< The problem is: Even if you time it nearly perfect. Due to lag and stuff it always get myself freezed or stunned just in that blink of an eye before I could possibly hit the vac powder and so on. This is disaster in NW especially and annoying in Lunar.

A fix would be appriciated (:

BTW: This is the exact same problem as with cleric magic shell and applies to any movement debuff immunity buff (funny word chain xD)

So pretty much what you are saying here is that you want to be an unstoppable flag running machine, sounds legit b:bye

o.o? that has nothing to do with being unstoppable. It's more annoying in PvE.
