Hey. Since my German Topic didnt get a Answer i try to explain my Question in English because as a Bard Main im Confused.

Its about the Skill Guardian Tune - Wind of Protection. Its supposed to block one Alimate Attack. Right now in Legion Raid the only one Attack i can “block” with it are Vykass golden Rings who supposed to stun someone.

Also, there are two Consumable Items “Panacea” and “Sacred Charm” who gets away your debuff and can also give you Immunity if you use the big ones.

Isnt Immunity and Block the Same?
I dont know if the German translation under the Skill and Consumables are just trash but it literally the same for me if i can block to get a debuff or if i can be immun about a debuff.

Anyone can explain it to me so i can better understand when to use the wind of Protection?
Because if its only usefull rn for just the golden Ring i might Change the Skill ^^

And sorry for my bad english, i hope you understand what i mean >-<

what i know is that it will block a debuff. or if ur unlucky a sleep bomb. thats why u turn it off in vykas gate 3

3

the debuffs which get blocked tend to be forms of hard cc like lugaru fear or any stun but is also not consistent in any shape or form

4

it doesnt block the bleed stack from the red wolf thouh, tried it out more than enough … :c

5

i thought as much. but if u can panacea it. the tripod should block it. now i dont know

6

But from my understanding, at least the german translate, is that i should be able to block all the attacks i can paracea or use sacred charm, isnt it?
Because normally i should be able to block the red wolves attack, but i do not block it, still get the bleeding debuff. or i should be able to block the black orb from vykass so i should be able to take 2 but it dont block it aswell…

I thought so too, its only logical to be able to block it from the skill translation, sadly not.

your understanding is correct. the description says “blocks 1 debuff” but the fact of the matter is in practice the types of debuffs that are blocked are selective

Ah… okay i Understand. Its kinda sad thouh that you need to try it in fights out to see whats blockable with your skills and what not. I would find it more easier if the debuffs had like diffrent colors or like a bar above it so healer can see " oh i could block that" But thank you guys for the answers :slight_smile:

One major use case for that tripod is in vykas gate 2. That fight has a couple dangerous patterns you can mitigate as bard with powerful protection + the blocking tripod and casting guardian skill in response to patterns instead off-cd.

One is the yellow stun rings as you mentioned. Another is the blue chain stun donuts. The last is damage reduction for the teleport to middle and spinning waffle red zones pattern.

I watched this yt guide when I was learning about these fights: How to CARRY a raid: Vykas Edition (Supports WATCH THIS) - YouTube

Yea i know that its for those Mechanics, but its kinda dumb that other debuffs she gives its not blockable with that skill only with paracea or sacred charm ^^
