Guild Wars 2

I’d love to see new dodge appearences based on class instead of everyone jump/rolling for their dodge.

I play an elementalist so I’m can think more of what I’d like to see elementalists do then other classes. Specificly I’d like to see 4 different kinds of dodges for Elementalits based on their current attunement.

Fire: Fire envelopes you and you dissapear as if incinerated only to have another column of flame appear at the end of the dodge that makes you re-appear.

Air: A lightning flash to the spot you are doding too.

Water: An icey statue of yourself appears at the starting spot you shift with a cloud of vapor and appear in the new spot with the statue shattering at the same time. (This is a visual effect only.)

Earth: The earth uner your feet moves with your dodge.

So, what do you guys think the dodges of other classes should look like?

IMO guys in Heavy Armor shouldn’t be dodge rolling, some other kind of dodge animation would probably be better.

Totally support this. I just thout abaut the same idea some days ago.

Classes could have different dodge animations. Like Thief has.

Trough i admit some classes do look coll with normal dodge. So i guess make an option in options to be able us to use the original one.

(i kind of find dodge quite cool, last day i pvp ed some and was crippled culd barely move and i had to finish of some downed guy, it flashed my mind and dodges there and finished him, if felt awesome. Mobility sure does boost your game experiance a LOT…I would prefer a lot of skills remade slightly for more mobility)

I think it’s a nifty idea! As for your thoughts on heavy armour, you have to remember that those in heavy armour have specifically trained to move/dodge in it. It’s also not as heavy or cumbersome as some would make out.

Only if thieves get a backflip/forward flip.

If so then definitely!

Thieves already disappear for a second when they dodge, dunno if any other classes have anything.

Instead of giving each profession distinct animations, I think it would be lovely for ANet to create a few distinct animations for each thing: walking, running, dodging – and you pick wich one you want to use with your character!

I could see that Nurvus, and I could see them doing similar to what CoH had with the sprint powers where you could buy new appearences. (Via Gems probably.)
