Pressure Point bugged

[Daryx]

<p>I just noticed this last night on my monk, and was curious if anyone else has.  I bugged it several times because it was getting very annoying.  On three fights in a row, my Pressure Point ability was either parried or riposted by the mob (Vallon miners and quarry sentries in Zek mines).  I first noticed that the icon didn't appear on the mob's effects in the target, so checked the log, and sure enough it said that the Vallon mob parried or riposted the ability.  According to the description this ability cannot be blocked, parried, riposted, etc.</p><p>I just scanned my log and it's been happening off and on since at least November 23.  I can't recall seeing anything in update notes regarding a change.  Has anyone got any insight or is it another creeping bug?</p>

<p>How is this a bug?  Unless the ability description says that its a guaranteed hit (like combination, for example) then it sounds like you just failed to hit your opponent, and as a result your debuff didn't land.  </p>

Druwan is right baout the description, it shouldnt be avoided as the description states</p>

He put the description, its an attack that is supposed to be guaranteed to hit.</p>

He parries, deflects, and BLOCKS without a shield.</p>

<p>This bug has been bugging me too. The description clearly states that it cannot be blocked, riposted or parried, and yet mobs are doing it to me all the time.</p>
