Guild Wars 2

What i want is that you shouldn’t be able to interrupt your own heals, i should be able to dodge, run left/right back/forward to try to get them to miss me without my heal failing.
Should also be able to shoot before the 1-2sec animation on the heal, “pots” and attack skills should be separated so if you use a remove condition, heal or something like that you should be able to use attack skills at the same time.

Heal and dodge are different actions. This is a design choice that – in my opinion – is perfectly fine.

However, what isn’t fine is that everytime I am looting a resource node I am litterally frozen in place for the duration. I cannot dodge, I cannot heal, I cannot opt to cancel the gathering process and leave. That is buggy design that needs improving.

Actually, you can hit a movement key and you stop whatever you’re doing.

Actually I can’t. Just tested it again. I have to spam the movement key before it works. Perhaps it is a bug from my side then?

Callynn.1684 at least for Engineer your heal get on CD if you dodge or change direction your moving or shoots.

I don’t know what you’re doing wrong. I just press a movement button and the animation cancels. I mine rich veins much faster this way – as soon as the third ore has been mined on the cycle, I move to cancel the whole animation playing out, hit F again and it starts immediately. This works with absolutely every channeled animation where the character is forced to stand still, at least for me.

I am aware of this. You are making the choice to avoid an attack while you know you have already triggered your heal. This is your choice – and if you dislike the cooldown without pay-off, just let the heal finish and take the blow.

Perhaps the difference lies in that I bound most of my movement to my mouse. I use my abilities on QWE (where W is my stun disabler / teleport / movement boost).

In this keybind setup, movement is not possible when gathering a node.

For clarity: My movement forward is set to left+right mouse and my autowalk is set to Mouse5. Neither of these can interrupt a gathering process.
