Fade and Burst of Speed

[Taem]

Heiho,

sorry, I'm not aware of any means which could nullify BoS, Venom, or Fade.
Those skills apply a state to the target (ie yourself), and this state can't be overridden, except from another state with the same group flag in States.txt. That is BoS and Fade have the same group, so they'll exclude each other. Venom had the same flag some patch ago (1.10?), and by simply removing this flag it is enabled now to have both Venom and Fade active, or Venom and BoS, but still not BoS and Fade.

So the question is, did you wear something that might have triggered BoS or Fade when you got hit? I haven't meorized all this stuff, but the asn runeword armor is famous for triggering Fade; maybe this one has a lower sLvl than your native skill. Don't remember if there's something around which casts BoS when hit.

I have searched and searched all over the net and can't find anyone experiencing the same problems I had, except for my friend who had the exact same build I did. I'm starting to think you may be right about the gear automatically casting something which nullified Burst of Speed when struck. I'm going to search over the gear I had and see what it could be.
