Guild Wars 2

The buff to Burning Retreat’s distance is very nice, but it made conjure axe’s retreat+combo very clunky. Before the buff, you could retreat and leap right to where you were in, and now that the leap’s cooldown has decreased to be the same as the retreat, you would think the intention is to make this combo smoother.

However, because retreat was buffed, using leap right after will make the ele miss the target. Sure, you can always move a little forward before doing so, but is this intended by design? Feels like an oversight from a last-hour buff.

Any one else also looking forward to falling off even more ledges from accidentally hitting 4 when you think you are in air attunement?

DiogoSilva makes a great point. I’d like to see the range of flame leap increased as well.

You know, there are two Burning Retreats and the note about the increased distance is within the listing of staff changes and not under the explicitly noted lava axe label.
I’m fairly certain you’re confusing that buff to the staff Burning Retreat with the lava axe one.

I’ve tested it. The buff affects both skills.

Ah ok, I can’t get in so I was just making an assumption from the notes.

Yeah, I was testing conjure axe when my leap stopped midway. At first I was “wat?”, but then I realized that the buff to burning retreat also affected the axe.

Lame, the few times I used Lava Axe I would use that combo.
