Guild Wars 2

I’d like to suggest adding a 1 sec CD between dodges so people can’t just spam dodge constantly without putting any thinking into it making it very difficult for everyone else to deal with that in addition to all the blinds going around right now. This way, professions that can dodge a lot will still be able to dodge the same amounts of time however they’ll have to wait 1 second before doing it again. I believe this will increase the skill cap of players because now they have to plan their dodges properly and their opponents can look out for that dodge and use that particular important ability RIGHT after the dodge ends within that short period of time.

Btw, just so there’s no misunderstanding, dodging would still work exactly the way it does right now, there would just be a 1 second CD before you can do it again, despite you having enough endurance for it.

Thanks!

Um… I would think that the endurance requirements do that already.

Without Vigor, you’re looking at 1 dodge every 10s. With Vigor, 1 every 5s. The only class that gets more dodges than that is Thief, who can get 1 dodge every 7s without Vigor and every 4s with Vigor.

Good players do not spam dodge without thinking. Those who do – die soon. Even in PvE there are times when it need to dodge two times row. No offense, but the idea is bad. That would spoil the game for many, but in no way will improve someone’s skill

dodging is already broken and limited, adding a 1 second CD makes things even worse.
maybe 1 dodge is enough in PvP but in PvE you sometimes need to dodge 2 times, like when you are in a path of a catapult fire and the ring is to big to simply run out of.

Exactly.

I agree with most posters here. To avoid spamming dodge there is indurance (only 2 dodges in a row). I’m not active in PvP, but in PVE there are plenty of reasons to spam two dodges in a row.

a: young karka’s in southsun cove. They attack three times very hard after that they are harmless for a long time. one dodge isn’t enough to evade all three attacks. but two are enough.

b: Viscount in labyrinth. On my thief, when stealing or giving him a few powerfull melee hits I need to get back very soon cause i’m a thief. Dodging twice in a row puts me in perfect shortbow range.
