Do not get SOS - it is useless.

[Gorse]

If you are thinking about putting points into SOS, then please do not do it.

SOS do NOT grant immunity as it is supposed to.

I have tried several times to get SOS overwriten both with hib (barrage of color ) + mid stun's.
And my most recent experience was with a fg - some from the group got stunned - then i fired SOS - and nothing happened -the stunned stayed stunned.
The Malice procc overwrites it too.

it's not supposed to work as a purge afaik... if you use it you cannot get stunned, but if you use it while you are stunned it will not remove the stun...

well duh.. thats because its not meant to break stun/mez etc... its a holy shit look at all the people lets run away before we die type RA.

Charge i tell ya :>

SoS1 rocks

 

[Penlid]

Use SoS on entering fight with albs/mids grants 9 sec immunity to any form of CC until u attack Or running away

 

[Gorse]

If I am stunned -I can not press SOS -actually I can not do anything at all except purge- but if group are mezzed /stunned and you press SOS they should get 10 seconds immunity on SOS 1 - and when those 10 sec are up -they go back to beeing mezzed /stunned if the caster still are alive of course and the timer on the cc still are active.

But you see hibs inc and know they have seen you - so you press sos to get away - and a second after pressing SoS you get stunned by for ex. barrage of color -and hence are not granted the immunity from cc as you are supposed to. Then I think it is fair to say it do not work prober.

Have any 1 else experienced same problems ?

SoS2 works Great in reaver groups when u gotta get in close to fire the bomb.

 

[Traxxx]

indeed SoS is NOT grupe purge as posted if u use SoS BEFORE your grupe get hit with mezz stun u are imune as long SoS is running


its nowhere useless just require a bit of timing

 

[Gamah]

sucks compared to the old SOS

 

[Ilum]

Was the right change imo - it still gives a good counter to AE CC which everyone whines about, its on 10 minute timer instead of 30, but breaks when you do anything but healing, so it only affects that first CC really.

 

[Clan Fist]

mrmm it works some times but not all time

several times tried geting stuned while sos was running from bard

so IT DONT ALL WORK AS INTENDED

only works partly

been mezzed while sos was running mezzed by albs

been stunned by mids with sos running

Not temporary group purge got it !!

Like every one else I have seen SoS work against insta mezz.
But it still leaves the situations, where you fire it and still get stunned.

 

[Khale]

I think he means after SoS is done you still get mezz/stunned (correct me if wrong) but I thought it was intended that way (no immunity timer after SoS as well ofcourse).

 

[Gorse]

when SOS runs out you will get mezzed /stunned .

But when you press SoS and then get stunned -while you have SoS up and running - that is the problem.
But nm it do not work prober and hence -unless you have a steady reaver rvr group i dont think it is worth to invest in . I use purge + cb instead.

SOS breaks with any action taken bar healing, including sprinting afaik, so its quite easy to think you have SOS active, but actually have broken the effect through some action you have taken.

 

[Gamah]

it doesn't break if you sprint.
