Guild Wars 2

I suggest adding Internal CD in range between 1 to 3 seconds for Death Shroud, Lich Form etc…

while that might not seem to be as such an issue, but there are times, when by mistake button is pressed twice, resulting – you have to wait for CD to end, and also messing up your combo whatsoever
(this might be a problem for other ’’Classes’’ also)

… you know lich/plague got a cd on exit and for DS no it would kill shroud dancers.

1 second cd wouldnt hurt…

And with ‘’Shroud Dancing’’ you mean thous effects which trigger when you …Enter or Exit DS ?

What, you serious? cd on DS? NO WAY, pls, would be stupid imo…

I think they added a small after-cast to DS exit. And it’s awful.

I dont think you know what that word means, especially with the fact that DS (entry and exit) are instants… But if you do get knocked out of DS then you get a 1 second penalty of not being able to use skills.

True, not a native English speaker. :x

But the 1-sec penalty is what I had in mind. Cheers for clarifying!

To actually clarify, aftercast is a animation a character does after doing a action that if canceled actually wont stop the action/for short a animation worthless for the skill but used for the sake of coolness or immersion.

L2P. Sorry but that is the end of it. We’re not going to ruin an entire strain of classes/playstyles because you fat-fingered DS.

Didn’t we just have this discussion the other week? I believe the middle ground was to add it as a tick box under the options somewhere.

If it comes down to one or the other then absolutely no thanks. As above posters mentioned you’d be ruining several builds just because you can’t stop yourself from spamming a button.

@Bhawb,
If you have nothing better to say than insult, then dont talk, and leave forums.

It isn’t an insult. But you want to destroy an entire line of builds because you can’t use Death Shroud properly.

I lost a very close fight because I “fat fingered” Death shroud. Give DS a .25s internal cd. That wouldn’t destroy shroud dancing builds but even a fraction of a second is enough for the brain to recognize its in DS and it should stop pressing the f1 key.

While I completely agree with Bhawb, I have to admit; there were times I wished there was an icd on entering in and out of DS. It’s not fun to “dance” with a non-dancer build when skill lag happens :/

Bhawb’s actually right here, though he put it a little bluntly. It sucks when you screw up and double-tap intentionally, but that functionality is critically important for certain uses of DS. Even a .25 second after cast would make dance builds clunky and unwieldy.

A checkbox somewhere would be ideal, but barring that, it needs to stay how it is. It isn’t fair to ask for Anet to destroy a huge range of builds and strategies just so that newer players don’t have to spend a teensy bit of effort teaching themselves the right muscle memory to use their shrouds properly and skillfully. We’ve all sausage-finger jabbed the keyboard and screwed something up because of it before, but you just gotta push through it and learn how to play better.

But again, a switch would be ideal. It might cause some players to let their mechanical skill stagnate but if that’s their choice, then who am I to argue?

Exactly as ’’glorius’’ mentioned, thank you, … ‘’when skill lag happens’’ that is what i wanted to say.

And thanks, Blaine Tog for mentioning ‘’switch option’’

anyway, if it is really such an effort to add ’’class’’ or global specific option , then so be it

no need to start calling names, because someone said something opposite to what you are used to
