Guild Wars 2

I’m only making this thread because it’s not clarified in the notes while some other skills are. The biggest pain of the current version of the trait, or at least the last time I used it years ago, is the fact that it’ll constantly put you in combat. Whether in open world PvE (gotta dodge that Hyena cripple… dodged it! And now I’m in combat anyway…), in dungeons, in WvW, and sometimes in PvP as well when rotating.

It probably is already considered but I want to make absolute sure since you’re making Mark of Evasion an always on minor trait.

I totally agree with you, besides I think that mark of blood bleed should be three stacks instead of two. It’s a weak skill which needs to be buffed not nerfed !

No, I don’t agree.

If you’re out of combat and you see a thief stealth, you can’t dodge roll and lay down a mark with your proposed change.

That would be a big nerf.

Maybe for running around in pve, try untraiting mark of evasion.

Malchior.1928:

It’s a minor.

After rereading the patch notes, I can say that it should still be on dodge roll. Those hyenas can be avoided by slightly strafing. No dodge roll needed.

If you are fighting a thief you’ll already be in combat, this would only help for stealth checking or something like that, otherwise you wouldn’t clear combat fast enough to matter.
