In most instances I’m pretty okay with spear of bastion. However when I as a warlock use my Demonic circle teleport to completely get out of it and it sucks me back when. Ive outranged it and ive completely LOSed it from behind a pillar and it sucks me back in. This is kinda ridiculous.

You’ve never been able to port out of abilities that keep you in place(static link totem and Ursuls vortex also pull you back)
Use your instant cast gateway and gateway out next time
But I think you can bug out spear by trying to walk out and then instantly port as the animation is pulling you back

well u didn’t los or outrange it if you do that after its cast. best bet, use ur gateway as lock,
Really?
I’m totally open to the possibility that I’m wrong, but rogues seem to have no issue shadowstepping or shadowstriking out of my static totem.

yeah i have no issue getting out of either of those. its specifically spear of bastion.
Port when the spear is being thrown, it has a cast time.
It can also be meld’d.
You can also run out of it, get pulled, and port; as the pull has an icd.
This works with warlock port, monk port, druid leap, etc etc… its just tight timing.
…so no, it should stay how it is.
The move just promotes zug - remove spear for a more friendly environment.
this right here just made me hate the entire game.

I do not support teleports not working against spear of bastion. That part never really made sense.
You can’t blink out of it either. If you blink while in it the game grabs you and throws you back in the circle and puts the spell on cooldown. It feels absolutely horrible when that happens because I have no other play but to block and get shattered.
Gate rips it off. Soulburn also lets you reset gate instantly whenever you want, and is always available for spear. Warlocks and their teammates shouldn’t ever really have trouble with the ability.
You can, it’s just finicky. The pull has to be triggered.
I mean, the good Mages can.
Yeah, trinket port before it lands works. You can also move out of the spear to get it to pull you once then port as you’re being pulled and it’ll free you.
Gate just seems a little quicker and more reliable, though.
I was curious so I did some research on the mage discord. Turns out you were correct! You can actually blink from spear due to a bug. If you walk outside the circle and blink at the perfect time you’ll stay tethered but outside the circle allowing you to walk around
There’s also weakauras available to get the timing right.
Fun times
