Guild Wars 2

I’ ve been reading the other profession and WvW forums and concluded a dodge nerf is coming. There is a lot of frustration in the ele and thief forums about targets dodging their high powered dragon tooth and backstab attacks. Why have high damage attacks if players can just dodge them? Arenanet must be looking into this as dodging is imbalanced for professions that rely on stationary targets to hit their combos.

Remove dodge altogether for every class. It’s OP and prevents players from getting off burst skills effectively.

In all honesty, without the vigor/dodges on mesmer, we’d be toast to any other class. I disagree with you wholeheartedly. If a mesmer dodges all of your attacks, it sounds like you need to time your strikes a LOT better or get the mesmer to burn their dodges.

L2 kitten ue.

Dodge nerf lols. Get a grip.

Awesome thread, lolz at the first two replies. Xavi nab you should know better!

I for one agree wholeheartedly with the OP. In fact, I think they need to look at strafing too. Too many times I aim a skill at someone only to have them sidestep it. Ridiculous IMO.

When I hit a skill, I want the opposing player’s W, A, S, and D keys to stop working until my skill hits as well. It’s too hard to hit someone who moves at all, let alone dodging.

Personally, I find fighting to be too troublesome. There’s way too much uncertainty, and that’s bad for a game that wants to be an e-sport. When I hit my skill, it should just log the other person out and give me a loot bag. Then the game will be purely skill-based, and everyone will be happy.

Darn. I got baited. Well played OP, well played.

HOW would you fall for that? lol… This is classic way to play on the dooms day prophecies of late.

what are you talking about, you got autofacing in Guild Wars 2, which takes 0 skill.
How about an aimbot too?

im guessing this has to do with that stupid confusion thread? Agreed!!!!!! nerf dodge and i’d also suggest to remove all ranged weapons from wvw. imagine how much realistic gw2 would’ve been if all were going sword against sword. But if they keep ranged weapons, they better add bullet drop and bullet delay or its not realistic enough. Plus where’s the recoil on rifles? This is 2013 not when Halo:CE was released… add recoil!@

Agreed, people being able to dodge things is simply unbalanced. The dodge is the counter to effectively every attack in the game…simply dodge and the attack misses. Nothing should be impossible to counter like that. Dodge needs to be nerfed.

Guys, you really need to improve your skill in this game. Actually, dodge is what makes this game fun at pvp, cause without it it’d be a boring spamming-skill game.

If you want to press skill 1, 2, 3, 4 and kill the other, this is not your game…

lol… This entire thread is a troll thread and most of the respondents are trolls just laughing at other doomsday posts… Noone here seriously wants dodge nerfed.

But the people taking this seriously are so funny!

Actually, I think legs should be removed from the game entirely. They allow for too many shenanigans, like running and other such bullkitten. Please nerf.

I disagree completely if anything dodge is UNDERPOWERED. Why can we only dodge 2 times??? If I can spam 1 1 1 1 1 1, I should be able to spam dodge dodge dodge. Nerf dodge and I quit the game.

TL:DR – remove vigor and remove the endurance bar. L2P and predict dodges like a man

How about we compromise. I’ll sacrifice my 1 attack if you give up dodge rolling.

How bout you delete your char and I’ll give up dodge rolling?

Scrub.

The devs have said multiple times that they want players to have the ability to react to powers. iberserker has a .25 second delay for this exact reason. Dodge is not getting nerfed.

No No No… trolling is the act of putting bait out for a bite. The better sound would be that of a fishing reel doing that zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz sound.

And bite they did.

It’s no wonder people want a nerf to Dodge. Dodge complicates combat beyond choosing the highest burst (PvP) or DPS (PvE) ability and spamming it.

For someone who comes from say, WoW, this is needlessly complicated and probably annoying.

…and they keep biting. It’s sort of hilarious actually.

Well Ive made a build, that is so freaking epic, here it is.

yet to be fun people should avoid mistakes like using for examples skills that doens t need dodge like dragon s tooth.

That won t hit anything regardless of dodging due to a silly design.
Needs a target but then locks in the spot of where is launched after many seconds…. even if you are walking cluelessly without noticing you won t be hit.

So
remove dodging use energy bar for walk

@eslafiel….a similar build would make half forum cry for nerfs…look at tpvp… XD a wall with legs is OP so even a dust ball rolling should be.

Done.

@eslafiel: I like it.

hahaha good one…oh wait u are serious…oh..

Then people can no longer b*%^& about the skill on dodge traits or being hit with confusion because they dodged. haha.
