mes.4607 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Did you hit the escape key or stow weapon? Did you dodge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drarnor Kunoram.5180 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Did you hit a Reaper's Mark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron.6450 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 You can interrupt it yourself, but i'm pretty sure siege goes through invuln, so if you got hit by a treb or catapult shot you'd get interrupted as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood Red Arachnid.2493 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Daredevil with Trickery. Swipe is Unblockable and Slight of Hand dazes. Also, Revenants with Malicious Reprisal or Phase Traversal can get get unblockable attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niatpac.7621 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 some hidden knowledge is that if you queue up the skill so that it will activate at the end of your current skill, then a mesmer w/ powerblock stuns you, it will go on 15s cd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot unblock or deal damage to guardian when renewed focus is active. It is similar to distortion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FtoPScrub.5476 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 It can be interrupted under very specific circumstances. I've had it happen many times. Its a rare bug but it does happen, and you'll know it happens because it doesn't go on full cooldown when it gets rupted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an Invuln, not a block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcaedus.7290 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 RF can get "interrupted" in very rare circumstances. Every time it's happened to me, a mesmer is usually involved. Like Niatpac mentioned, it could be a clutch Powerblock from a mesmer running Domination traitline, but I've also heard the theory putforth that serverside lag registers the "invuln" period of RF at a later time point than the beginning of its cast time, and in what is likely a 1-frame (maybe even less) window, you could get interrupted. I've had it happen to me maybe 3 or 4 times ever over the 4.5 years I've been playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckDuckBOOM.4097 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I was under the impression that shocking aura also goes through in vulnerabilities. If you put down an aoe, start casting rf, then an ele stands in your aoe with shocking aura --> interrupted invuln skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put down an aoe, start casting rf, then an ele stands in your aoe with shocking aura --> interrupted invuln skill. That's assuming that the ele in question is within melee range of you. Shocking Aura only works on melee range attacks. Another possibility is crossing a ward boundary or a ward-like barrier boundary like a Static Field or Unsteady Ground from ele, or a Spectral Ring from a necro. Those will interrupt an invuln if you don't have Stability up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocturnal Lunacy.8563 Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 This was literally the very first time I've ever had Renewed Focus interrupted and I've been playing since launch. Besides, doesnt "invulnerable" means youre invulnerable and not invulnerable as long as you dont get interrupted? Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe invulnerable means nothing can do anything to you so no skill should be able to make it through. I mean when I'm fighting a warrior nothing gets thru their invuln, no interrupts, stuns, fears, nothing. So what gives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe When this happened it was a good size battle and I was maneuvering to end of zerg to let some CD's expire and something hit me from behind. And what hit looked like a bolt like from the new bows that shoot those white bolts or it couldve been a legendary that shoots similar looking shots.

LetoII.3782 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Happened to me before in laggy situations. Sometimes, what your computer thinks happened is out of synch with the servers version of events. The result can be things like Spear of Justice pulls flying back up onto walls and renewed focus not saving you from that last hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
