Guild Wars 2

Can the devs please remove the negative feature in which when a character is attacked it slows them to a walk. I am not talking about hold spells or other forms of immobilization, simple hitting of the character by anything.

I do not know about you, but if someone is hitting me and I do not want any part of it, I would SPEED UP, not slow down!
Please change this. I am getting tired of having my character killed or getting into fights when I have no interest in the fight, simply trying to get somewhere.

Thank you,
Renainn

It’s kinda annoying yes, but it’s there to prevent us from just running through the enemies. Dodging and swiftness is a great combination if you want to avoid combat. Maybe they should slow you down a bit less, about 5% or so.

The worst part about slowing down is when you need to jump a platform, but since you’re in combat mode you can’t. This can be extremely frustrating in some jumping puzzles.
