Guild Wars 2

Why not at the beginning of the dodge ?

What I mean is that all the spells are 180 radius but when you dodge you move away from your target thus the spells do not hit your target. Therefore except for the water one and the blast finisher on earth, the effects are useless most of the time (useful IF there is an enemy at the end of your dodge). So I think this trait could be more useful if the spells were created at the beginning of the dodge and wonder why it was define to trigger at the end of the dodge.

P.S.: sorry for my english

Dodge through people, more effective anyway and removes all other problems.

Because it’s much easier to aim. Especially blast finisher and blind.

Np. Your english is fine.

The most obvious reason to be at the end of the dodge is Air, blinding while you are evading would just waste the blind.

I’d prefer dodging someones attack AND blinding them to prevent a second, than have to waste a dodge to go INTO a fight to blind someone (plus the AOE on that is horrible if you have tested it). The same goes for the rest of the specials.

That’s what it does currently.
