Guild Wars 2

So I have RSI. It’s a condition that causes you pain if you make too many repeat movements or if you tense up or strain yourself too much during gameplay. Which means I can never, ever play FPS games, unless I want to be in constant pain.

This game has a dodge ability. I’ve been ignoring it. It means tensing up and reacting fast at the moment dodge is required. I cannot do that. I refuse to inflict pain on myself, and I deliberately chose professions where dodge is not really a factor, like my main, the RANGED ranger.

And now you add dodging as a requirement for dailies. Seriously, whose idea was this? And it would seem that currently you have not implemented the ‘skip this achievement and do another’ option yet either.

Honestly, dailies were fine as they were. Anyone could do them. Monthlies… I had issues there (I hate dungeons, which includes fractals, and WILL NOT do them, even if you pay me for it) but at least I had the dailies to earn some mystic coins. Well, till now that is. I’m almost scared to find out what achievements come next.

So…don’t do the daily?

Not familiar with that condition, so not sure if my advice is good or not. But you can try rebinding your dodge button to some comfortable to reach button/mouse scroll, so you can press the dodge key with a relaxed hand.

Well, sorry to hear about your condition just want to make sure you know that dodge can be a single keypress and doesn’t need to be a double tap, you could probably just hit it randomly without thinking about it while fighting mobs and not tense up or anticipate, the dodges will add up.. you could prob pull a couple of mobs and just hit it now and then without even looking at the screen and get it done

Not that you are probably actually looking for advice, but you don’t have to double tap to roll, you can just push the ‘v’ key. And if you dodge through a stationary AoE, say like a poison cloud from drake breath just south of lions arch (or say an arrow cart AE in WvW) it counts. No reflexes required, no tension, just find something dangerous, let it hit you, THEN hit ‘v’.

Solution: fight a mob that has a multi-arrow attack (plenty in Wayfarer Foothills). Just hit dodge at any moment in-between their multi-arrow attack. No need for twitch. You’ll get a few evades in that special attack.

And it’s only 10. Not like you’re going to kill your wrist with that one.

Also, I wear wrist braces (immobilizers) when I game. I don’t have RSI, but I’m likely to get it if I don’t protect my wrists by taking breaks and wearing the braces. If you game you’re already doing lots of repetition of movements any ways. Sorry you have RSI, but you get little sympathy from me for a dodge component of a daily which you don’t need to do and which will change each day.

Additional advice: I don’t use double tap. I set my dodge/evade to a single key (Q).

you probably don’t know that you can bind a button to dodge.
pull a mob and when it’s attacking press that button.
btw they are making a videogame, they can’t consider everything in the world…
