MNK Meteodrive - working as intended? (animation lock vulnerability window)

[Enjuden]

So... I'm wondering, Meteodrive stuns the target through the duration of the animation, which is great (and looks great tbh!), but I could realize that the Monk is ALSO, in practice, stunned through the animation lock.

That makes really bad to use Meteodrive between a cluster of opponents to finish someone, as you can be literally killed through the duration of the animation lock, and I was wondering if that side effect was intended.

Hopefully is something they can address in the next balancing patch, because it makes it a bit frustrating at times.

Considering Ninja does the same thing and can't be killed during it, it's likely unintended.

Edit: Guess it's intended. Nin is susceptible to the same.

Incorrect. You can stun a ninja or polymorph mid animation to stop the lb. If a NIN dies before the animation fully finishes, the effect won't go through but the LB bar gets used still.

Oh, well then. That's good to know. Thank you.

No, NIN can be killed during LB. It has happened to me multiple times, and if the NIN is killed before the animation is done, their target lives and the LB is cancelled.
