Guild Wars 2

I was playing a thief this beta weekend and then I saw that thiefs had a different roll then they have now. Is this new roll for only daredevils or also for your regular thief. Because I played as a daredevil. I’m asking because i think the roll animation is horrible.

It’s part of the traitline for Daredevil only.

I felt it was great for setting off combo fields at will. But was very slow to trigger (skill lag/latency) in comparison to the standard dodge. I also found it harder to direct, but that could be a symptom of the aforementioned latency. Pity you can’t run the daredevil line with out using those grandmaster traits/animations though (other than just not putting points in there which is kinda a disadvantage in PvP/WvW). Many of my guildmates also complained as you are.

Yup, the Daredevil gets a brand spanking horribly lame dodge.
On asura it replaces the neat flippy animations with this freakish head charge that takes forever to trigger, is herky jerky dodging, and then doesn’t want to give you control back after.
An absolute masterpiece.

kitten it! I really hope they thange it then.

As a daredevil you must choose one of three new dodges. First one sends out few daggers, second is like a long run and third one is dmging jump. Im not describing them 100% correctly, but it should help you.
