Guild Wars 2

Back then, I could at least interrupt BP plus HS. How do I counter BP plus Dodge? Which dev thought this would be fair and add to competitive play?

That doesn’t really make sense. To have stealth you need a blast or leap finisher into a dark field.

So “if” an evade is a leap finisher ( I didn’t check ) you’d have to bp > swap to staff > leap. That’s a long combo for not much stealth.. a couple of seconds at the cost of being stuck in staff with two skills on cd.

This is not unfair.

Your post doesn’t make any sense. What are you talking about? Was I talking about staff?

Just so I’m clear, I’m talking about the thief new dodge. They can pick from either:

1-Dodge, remove movement condi and gain boon, dodge further
2-AOE condi damage, whirl finisher
3-basically, its the warrior reckless dodge with high damage and leap finisher.

You can use any weapon set with the elite spec. For example, a D/P thief could HS or dodge thru BP to gain stealth.

Have you played the new spec? The dodges and evades are relatively slow and it’s still only a very brief stealth that will be overwritten a lot of the time by revealed debuff.

I think the worry about this is a non issue.

Yes, I have. It doesn’t matter if the animation is slow which to me it isn’t.

You can mini dodge leap in the BP just like mini HS’ing in BP. You can get all 3 dodges off actually but thats not the point. The point is how do you counter it?

The same way you counter bp > hs. It’s not like that stealth is free, it costs initiative. If this were pre – revealed I’d agree it was an issue. That’s not the case.

This is a learn to play situation.
