Guild Wars 2

The March 26, 2013 update added very useful information about Evade time to tooltips of some weapon skills and utility skills which mention evasion.

A few questions to the devs to clarify this mechanic:

1) This evade time, if I understood it correctly, is the earliest time you have to activate the “evasion” skill, before damage is expected to occur (because you’re in its path), in order to successfully Evade the hit. In other words it is a window of opportunity to evade. Is that correct?

2) What is the evade time for a dodge?

3) I’m wondering which other skills (weapons skills or utility skills) will result in an evade as well, but do not mention Evasion in their description. I’m thinking of any skill which causes sudden movement such as: charges, shadowsteps, teleports, leaps, retreats, pull, push, etc… I’m fairly certain some of those skills do provide evasion abilities. Can you please list them? Or at least confirm and list some of them?

4) You evade the whole attack “package” (impact damage + simultaneously applied negative effects/conditions), right?

5) Can you evade specific “pulses” in an AoE?

Thank you.

Here a places where you can get some info i think on it but it dose not tell you how long tap dodge last i can only guess 1/2 sec.

As for your #4, yeah I think so. If you time it right you can even dodge the fear effect from a dragon roar.

I believe that the answer to #5 is “Yes.” as well since dodging from an AOE can result in multiple “Evaded” messages and count for multiple Daily Dodges.

No devs to answer at least some of these question?

Wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for a dev response to this one, especially since you can figure out most of the answers by playing for a while.
