Arrest vs. Slithering

Which skill would suit better against magic mobs?

Both have 10 secs duration
Arrest has 52s while Slithering has 28s
Slithering can’t avoid CC
Arrest has Bind attribute, reduces def of mobs by 50% plus additional Slow.

Can the mobs still cast even if they’re bind? I mean are they stunned? I saw the animation on tosbase, and the mob was stunned while on Arrest.

They get disabled from doing anything.

Arrest binds the target for some seconds, Slithering makes you immune to magic damage, it’s different.

If you were to choose between the two in a party dungeon against magic mobs, which would you choose?

If you have Peltasta, Slithering all the way.

I’m not sure if this info might help you, but right now I’m making a pvp swordie. Her build is Sword -> Pelt -> Pelt -> Rode -> Corsair -> Rode -> Rode. High block rate and magic immunity all the way.

Hands down Slithering!
It makes u IMMUNE to everything except CC (hi @ dispeller scrolls) and more important:
Arrest locks u in place if something else is not arrested it will walk up to u and smack u into the face.
While channeling Slithering u can still move and even if something new comes up to u, u can still ignore everything it try to do to you
