Guild Wars 2

Currently button 4 of the staff for elemental activates Burning Retreat. Which is…

“Quickly roll backward, leaving behind a line of fire that burns.”

I suggest switching the buttons on staff with Lava Font. Which is…

“Make lava erupt from the target area.”

I suggest this because when I am frantically trying to rez myself, button 4. Often I activate Burning Retreat without wanting to and end up putting myself in a dangerous situation and down again for no reason.

Please switch the buttons for the two skills on the staff to make our lives easier. Thanks.

I think slightly increasing invulnerability and adding a delay to skill activation both to and from downed state would be a better idea. You have no idea how many times I find myself going from the heat of battle straight to vapor form, not realizing I’d just been downed and wasted my tactical escape skill.

This is certainly a really tricky issue, I personally wouldn’t like a delay most of the time as I often time this retreat on purpose as soon as I get downed before the skillbar even appears, I always liked that I could pull that off. This does sound like a bad move in spvp, but in pve getting out of danger a second earlier means you can get up faster.

Maybe, if my reaction weren’t almost always:

mists
“Wait, what the- OH CRAP, I’M DOWNED!”
mist runs out and I’m in the same spot I was in before
