How you deal with Gladiator's Ankle Snare.

[Nemey]

Till 30s, Gladys were my pvp toys. I could kill them even with 5 lvl's difference. Then i realized, Ncsoft gave them a stigma skill that:

1. Is instant

2. HAS 25 METRES RANGE

3. Immobilizes me for 10sec

4. Reduces my evasion by 1000

3. Gives the glady enough time to burst me out of my misery, because by the time he's done with his Aerial Lockdown chain, which stuns me for even more, im either dead or left with close to zero HP.

Feels like Ncsoft gave gladiators a free ticket to kill rangers. I cant possibly predict when exactly he's going to Ankle Snare me, because its instant, and if he's skilled he's going to see i used Focused Evasion and use Cleave to cancel it or wait a few seconds.

The point is : He will Ankle Snare, because 25 metre is where i need to be in order to shoot anything, and when he does, i cant do anything but sit there and watch my ranger die.

How am i suppose to deal with this being a 36 ranger?

if he is on top of you sleep, if at range then shackle arrow(l42 tho)

you can also try sandstormtrap if above 2 options not avaible

It can't be potted afaik, never got hit by it yet I either evade it normally or with FE always. If it happens same as MadGelo said already either sleep or root/snare him whatever the situation demands.

[nothing]

sleep them.

[Bruttus]

Cant pot it.
Sleep arrow or Shackle arrow and wait till Ankle snare is gone (10sec with 3min recast).
Sandstorm trap so Ankle snare is nullified.
Retreating slash works too.
And ofc Gladiator is always snared by Entangle arrow.

Only ranger who gets owned by Gladiator is complete noob.

An I know what I am writing about - I do play lev 36 Gladiator ((

[Fir3line]

As a sorc, i always tree him, then sleep. I'd say u should do same with ranger.

[rawrXtina]

It has a 2 minute cooldown so the Glad will usually only be able to use it once in a fight, assuming it dosen't get resisted.

It's pretty much the only chance a Glad has at killing a Ranger, but even then the Ranger can just sleep them and the whole thing would have been a waste.

glads exist to make rangers look like decent class
you can always say "glads have it worse".

but glads are awesome!

you can like, charge at people. and get slowed and stunned and ow
you can snare them! and get put to sleep til it wears off
you can get lucky, and actually get in range, and...you are not in range. you are not in range. you are not in range

look on the bright side


if you are lucky you can always come close for a few hits - you can see nice animation of Absorb shield, you did 0 damage.

It's unpottable

/10chars lol - wanker.

The answer is glaringly obvious though. I sleep them.

[rawrXtina]

PS:

because by the time he's done with his Aerial Lockdown chain

Don't let them get that close, or just take off It hurts, but then it has nothing on what a Sorc can do to you using Aether's Hold.

[Salamanderx]

I had a glad jump me on my 32 (at the time) ranger, was ankle snared, stunned knocked down and finally dead, all while i was jamming my sleep arrow button lol.



Its ok though, its not a 1-1 game and he was a few levels higher (like everyone I seem to meet!).
