Guild Wars 2

I have noticed many times when facing a warrior that despite me dodging a pin down, i would still get hit by it during my dodge. It seems as if once the warrior already fires it, the arrows will hit you no matter what?.. is that intended?

Its possible the effect is slightly ahead of the projectile image because time to time I have timed the dodge and still got struck. Same happens with a number of skills though, especially pve bosses whose animations don’t line up with their skill effects.

As NinjaEd said above its a bug but it not pin down related.

Yeah you get immobilised mid-dodge, in the air, it’s massively annoying !

I have also been hit by eviscerates mid dodge. There may be a dodge bug out there…

It’s not uncommon with immobilize skills that they immobilize you while you dodge, so you are technically still moving when inflicted with the condition until the dodge animation completes. It’s like there’s a small window of pre-dodge frames or something where your character has started to dodge, but the invincibility frames haven’t quite kicked in, so you can still get hit but then also dodge.

In addition, it might also be related to latency. Even a bit of latency can make it so that the game registers the hit on you just before your dodge activates, although it didn’t look that way on your end.
