You should not be able to cancel shambler's devour by just grabbing it

[Angel]

Now I know this is a debate that has happened several times, several threads talking about it, but I want to bring it up again, I am personally part of the group that thinks grabbing shamblers is funny, but one thing that could be done to balance it, is making shambler ungrab-able by the person who they're devouring, or if that's too hard/impossible to do, maybe ungrab-able mid devour? The logic being that while it's devouring someone, it opens a monster like mouth that eats the person, making it impossible to grab them.

If anything if you grab someone who's being devoured, you lose your arm insted.
You saved someone but it costed you an arm.
Shambler still got some DNA but not alot.

I think suplexing shamblers is really funny.

you word this as if the devour ability gets cancelled if a shambling abomination gets grabbed, I can't test this right now but assuming that is the case that could be changed

I don't think you need to remove grabbing them entirely but you could make it so that the devour ability can only be interrupted by incapacitating the shambler, making suplexing still viable (difficult to do if you're being delimbed and taking massive damage while being eaten alive so if you manage to pull it off then that's fair game)

unless this isn't how it works in which case disregard my message

Yes grabbing the shambler instantly cancels the devour action bar, also suplexing a shambler doesnt stuns it even briefly, as it has some form of super armor, even most stuns doesn't stuns it. I agree that you should still be able to suplex it, but just make it have no upsides and it's just a dumb thing you can do and I fully agree,

oh yeah they have perma stun resistance
they should just make it so suplexing them interrupts the devour. I don't think it'd be very hard to just make it so that "suplexed = cancel action"

not sure what needs to be re-coded to stop the abilities being cancelled at just being grabbed but surely that's possible to be fixed since I think there are other abilities that persist even after being grabbed
