Guild Wars 2

Hey anet can you make it so Death Shroud cant be insta-double clicked out of.

with the way delays work in the game, and sometimes skill lag, I sometimes get a little trigger happy with my skills, including Death Shroud. Which would make me hit a skill twice rather than once. In DS case, this makes it go on full cooldown.

a short time period between activation and deactivation would help wonderfully.

anybody object?

Yes, I object. This is a L2P issue, as you said you get trigger happy. You should learn not to be trigger happy. Sometimes I want to go in and out of DS really quickly for one reason or another. If they changed this, I wouldn’t be able to do that anymore because you couldn’t learn to control your fingers.

So instead of learning self control, you want a class mechanic to be changed to suit your needs?

Good luck.

1/2 sec CD would be enough, just so you don’t accidentally go out of ds when smashing the F1 button during tense situations
I approve

But a lot of times I want to go in and out of DS in less than a half second (DS, doom, DS in like 1/10 of a second is pretty common for me). This is a problem the OP is running into that he can completely fix by learning to be a better player, but you want to make the class do it for him even though it would limit functionality.

This is an old discussion… i dont want to be mean but could you please look up the old topics if you dont understand why this can be a bad thing?

well wouldnt mind it being optional if thats the case.

1/4 seconds
i accidentally killed my self when i was using unholy sanctuary a couple times because i saw i had 1k hp left, poped ds, little did i know unholy sanctuary triggered and i got rekt

yeah, just 1/4 would be fine, i don’t see how that could ruin “rotations” or other strategies. I too have had times where i died cause i got even just a small lag spike and pressed ds 2 times in panic. You have to be very convincing to prove that 1/4 would be a nerf instead of a fix

1/4 is about three times as long as you need to flash fear. This is an l2p issue and would be a nerf to anybody who knows that the kitten they’re doing.

Yeah, I’ve done that at least once before when using US, but that’s our own fault. We made a mistake, simple as that.
