Guild Wars 2

Is it possible to dodge without rolling in a specific direction? Say a duck or jump in place? Would this be game breaking if it was possible?

No, it’s not possible, unless you’re next to an obstacle and dodge towards it. However, you can dodge through your enemy if you want to stay in melee range.

I don’t think it would be game-breaking. Most of the time, moving somewhere is better, anyway.

Oh, it’s certainly possible, my char does this all the time – unintentionally, of course, even if there is no obstacle in my way >_>
No idea how I do that…

^ Same. Get some bug where I just roll in place. Really love it since it means you don’t evade some attacks. Seems to happen if terrain changes where you are, rock or some other type of crap that “blocks” your movement. And I’m talking bout little rocks, not boulders you need to jump over, or climb.

It’s a bug that happens when you dodge with auto attack on. If you dodge with bad timing on auto attack, it messes up your dodge like that. If you turn off auto attack, no more bug, although you have to spam 1. I turn off auto attack on bosses that it really matters on, mainly Alpha and Lupi.

^^ anouther resone why i dont use auto attack.

As for the OP there are skills and suck like that of the warriors shield that nagate all damage nd can be used when evading is needed but you might role off a cliff

Ahh, well, ain’t turning that off. Got better things to do then keep hitting 1 on my keyboard till it wears out and I have to replace it for a single key.
