Luminous Respite or Duel dash seems to be broken. When initiated, other classes such as DH can jump away and the sader will try to follow instead of locking enemies into a dual using primary attacks.

i think it got to do with faltergrasp gem (it disable dash skill) i try it on my friend duel,when they use this gem r10. this essence not work on them, i cannot charge on them, im NOT sure does “charge” and “dash” the same thing? for sure this essence not working at all .
for those that without faltergrasp gem - it work perfectly - locked enemies and duel with them… it soo weird.
i dont hv video to show u, but u can try and see if enemy have faltergrasp gem to disable it
I meant that even during Duel connected, they can use other skills to escape rather than locked down to attack using primary. DH can jump out, Wiz can port away. Faltergrasp only prevents enemies from dashing but not allow them to dash away from Duel after it connects
I also noticed a few inconsistencies when duelling.
At first, i thought that shield charge did not hit the target because dh/wz/tp/mk/bk launched an untargettable skill just before hitting. But from time to time, it hits but fail to trigger primary auto-attack from adversary and i also had the case against a barb who do not have an untargettable skill afaik.
From my understanding and experience, when a duel is engaged, both players enter in a autobot mode of primary attack only, locking down all skills and movements till the end of the duel duration.
I do not understand how/on what conditions these classes can avoid the duel.
Another possibility would be that the duel initiation is considered as a hard CC even if after engaging it confers an anti-cc status. But if that would be the case, most of the time the duel would fail to initiate due to the Gladiator one time immunity shield paragon.
It is a crap essence, just like all the Sader i7 essences. Total fail this go round by the Dev team. Plus, if you want to encourage the use of Primary attack in PvP (as these essences are clearly designed to do), then you are going to have to make them MUCH more powerful. Using Primary attack in PvP is a death sentence because, unlike skills, Primary attacks hold you in place and stop your movement while the animation plays. In PvP in this game, a stationary toon (even for a second) is a dead toon.

I’d like to have an official statement about Luminous respite and its interaction with anti-CC skills.
Is it considered as a hard CC despite giving the anti-CC status during the duel?
DH and Wiz can still dash out during the duel, is it intended ? (I checked my previous comments and it is clear that the duel started and they can still escape)
The duel is supposed to lock down skills and put the player into an auto-base attack for a few seconds. How the hell are they able to continue to fly around ?
I have no problem with it working as intended to have a form of counter but i’d be good to have it checked.
Was testing this essence today more deeply and can confirm that it seems to be bugged, sometimes a duell comes together but very often players just jump away.
Even if you can have fun against lower enemies it is a massive downgrade from the current meta build and very bad to handle at matches where a lot goes on, no good alternative for most modes even if it would work.
Ok, based on late discussion, the problem may not be sader’s essences but DH xD
They have full unlimited cc immunity dash. Even antidash does not work
