Cancelling Attunement

[Magic-Mal]

I've been PvPing for a bit now and for a while, been trying to find ways around Healer's Attunement ability. It's annoying!

The only things I know about combating Attunement are:

-DoTs can still hurt them while in Attunement.
-DoTs inflicted during before Attunement do full damage. While DoTs inflicted during Attunement do much less.
-Circle/Field AoEs still hurt them

I read on a forum that they could be pushed out of it but using Hawk's Eye + Blast Shot did push them but it didn't interrupt Attunement. So that was wrong..

I was thinking though, would it be possible as a SMN to use Hawk's Eye + Wither, an attack that removes a beneficial effect(like Attunement), as a way to remove Attunement completely?

Hawk's Eye makes hit rate 100%

You can not cancel it.

Just ignore the healer for the duration and burn someone else down while you have a free chance. It never ceased to amaze me when I sit in attunement watching DPSs try to burst me, wasting their CDs and a low heals situation.

You CAN cancel it (I try with Retrogradation simply because the move doesn't see a lot of action from me otherwise in Shatter except to try to troll DPS during ice by slapping off one of their good offensive buffs), but I agree that the general strategy should be to handle it as you described. The amount of Attunement trolling I see healers do during ice (and have it actually be successful!) is alarmingly high considering how many low HP melee I sometimes see booking it away from ice with Sprint up.

Fire Iv> Scathe, understandable, could been some lag or in midcast, however flare and melee lb after that, not so much, lamo, rip mp.

also for the attunement "trolling" on ice, givin how we can't do anything else it is justified, however I hate "balance" being defined by the clueless.

Not always. When I have limit break up as a melee I will sit there in front of you while you are attuned and wait for your timer to hit 1 second so that I can use your attunement as a free stun to limit break you lol. Because of latency if your HP is below like 75% you are pretty much dead since the limit break will go through and your "instant" heals if you have any wont go off in time.

Any healer worth anything doesn't sit in Attunement for full 10seconds. Good luck with that one.

You talk as if every healer in Feast is worth anything. There's only a handful of great healers in most data centers and you can pretty much list them all using both hands in each data center. Unless of course the collective heals in your data center are miles better than every other data center out there but given the world listed on your profile you will have to forgive me for not believing that to be the case lol. Maybe if it was from Mana or to a much lesser extent Aether I would.

Sorry for assuming we're talking about high level play here. I guess your standards and Elo are very low.

It frustrates me so much in Frontlines when my cohealer hits Attune with like 4 DPS on them, I pop some heals on them til they're back to full and then they sit in Attune the whole time just in time for the rest of the enemy team to roll up to them and delete them right after it wears. ~__~ Like, click that thing OFF, m8, and GTFO.
