Guild Wars 2

evasive skills should ignore aftercast completely like normal dodge roll!

skills with evasion are ment to find a defensive use which is sometimes imposible to be pulled off as a reaction to your opponent’s cast animation(this is what they are for i believe) if you want to do damage to your opponent. All this is bcouse the aftercast period matches the cast time of the majority of spells…

conclusion: modify evasive skills (like thief s/d #3, etc…) to act much more like a dodge roll: ignoring aftercast, instantly interrupting any actions.

I’m just not a fan of aftercast-delay in general.

Agreed. It’s a bad “mechanic” that creates all sorts of balance problems in the game. They need to remove it and incorporate animation delays into cast times and cooldowns.

The aftercast on evades, especially those that also do damage, provides a window for a well-timed counter. Without it, you just seamlessly chain evades together, and it’s arguably worse.
