gap closing
dagger/dagger, Earth 3/ Air 4/ Fire3 are all gap closers and lightning flash is a nice teleport.
1200 range immob with short cooldown in signet of earth.
In addition to the dagger skills, you can also tap your reverse direction key and burning retreat.
FGS 3/4 also are gap closers.
thanks.^^ i play dd ele on spvp and wvw. i dont know how to manage distance with long range class….
the thing with rangers is they will try to knock a d/d back the minute they get close. i tend to always open with my armor of earth. Another thing to note is a lot of ranged classes require you to be in front of them to land a hit. For example, if you get within range of a necro and weave in and out of their body while attacking there axe won’t hit. Same with a lb ranger. d/d has always had the problem of getting kited by ranged classes, condi mesmer being the most notorious.
