I don't know what Anet was thinking when they put [skill]iron mist[/skill] on Gadd's bar, but it's extremely annoying. I just suggest they remove it, or replace it with a different skill.

It's not ruining gameplay, but it is extremely frustrating when you're not an air ele, or don't have a shocking weapon and thus can't hurt the enemy for x amount of seconds.

Not if it's the last target, which seems to happen all too much.

Exactly, which is what makes it so freaking annoying.

Yeah, it should definitely be changed. I was wondering why the targets were immune when they had no skills to make them immune. My own ally was hindering me.

Actually, it's quite fitting for Gadd... He is a complete and utter twat after all, let him have a skill that pisses you off ^_~

i'd rather have me spend a few more seconds than just breezing through GW. at least the time spent would make the day go by faster before i gotta goto sleep

I cheered at the end of GOLEM when he dies...

/notsigned coz its who gadd is... however I think that they should make him target a target not being targetted by the party, because that ALSO fits gadd's personality, being elitist and all

I would be happy if they just took it off his bar, however as said above it fits his personality, but it's still freaking annoying!

I don´t care about Gadd´s personality, this skill must be removed of his skilbar.

Its PvE. Its easy. It can be worked around, even if you don't know he uses it. It actually helps your team at times. Gadd does Lightning damage, so the target will be hurt even if your team can't provide the damage. The insane movement change makes it hard for a Destroyer/etc. to deal damage to your team.

If it was maintained constantly, I could see removal or nerfing of the skill. But since it won't stop you from killing something, and it only affects 1 target at a time, no need for a change.

I never thought about it until it was mentioned, but it does fit with Gadd's personality.

Just wondering how many people have actually managed to deal with this before now. Annoying? Maybe. Game breaking? No way. Sorry, but this sounds like another one of those "make the game easier because it's too hard for me" suggestions.

"it's too hard for me, make it easier!" and "I can deal with it but it makes me want to throw something because he's a GORED ENGINE GO anyway" are two different ballgames.

Gadd is an elitist, and it should be kept for shits and giggles.

This is why I play G.O.L.E.M. I'm only sorry I missed the explosion. XD I also make it a point of flagging my team back and leading that little bastard right into that group of enchanted weapons that surround the last ettin so I can get a little of that "I killed Gadd" thrill.

That said, /neutral. It's irritating as hell and I'd like to see it go, but I doubt it will and it won't exactly stop me from playing Bloodstone. I usually don't play airspike or bring one, but the fact that it hits one monster, usually a melee skelk, AND that monster is barely able to move makes it hardly worth worrying about.

I don't see the problem.
There are two places where you encounter Gadd, Bloodstone and Golem.
You know he's there and you know about Iron Mist.
In Golem, you have to split your team (assuming H&H) so you can put some heroes at his side and hench on the other.

Now the OP mentioned Air Ele and Shocking weapon.
While those are true there is an other alternative. It's called Channeling Ritualist. That's 16 skills that do lightning damage.
And we can also take a paragon and use Spear of Lightning.
And what about degen?

C'mon, you don't need to run Sab's necros or SF in the entire game...

Yes, but degen works a lot slower than simply beating the sh*t out of them.
/signed, it's annoying and unnecessary. I'd rather have Anet remove Gadd from the mission entirely so the QQers in this thread can't complain it makes the mission easier. All Gadd succeeds in doing is being a meatshield for the Golem.

It adds to his character, which in turn adds to the story and gives shape to Vekk's.

Because the thought of putting Iron Mist on an uncontrollable ally is really fdf&*(Rcking annoying. It's annoying, unnecessary, and makes me want to rip up pictures of cute kittens.

Seriously, anet, you've fixed dumb and pointless things in the past (like yesterday's update ), fix this!

Exactly what I do whenever I do the part with Gadd in EotN. I believe the enemy affected by Iron Mist can still take conditions, so that's about as good as it gets whenever one gets targeted by Iron Mist.

/notsigned because i've never had a problem with him using this skill. Infact i never realised how much of a problem people seem to have with him using this on targets? Whenever i've done a quest/mission involving Gadd i found he hardly used it or that if he did it wasn't so problematic as many seem to claim.
