Guild Wars 2

Change sword auto attack from auto lock to a controllable 3 swing.
Raid machainics + ranger sword AA don’t work. Having to tare your character off its so annoying and makes it hard to do certain things.
I would suggest reworking the animation.
If anyone else agrees please say so. Change doesnt happened we push for it . just look at the other class forums they push and get what they want. Its rangers turn.

well i did fine . even used the sword to gap close Multipul times bouncing off red orbs . though thats just my skill level talking.

just needs to be able to break the animation of leap / or you could just Sword 2 back or use Dagger to evade the Blue circle teleports like i did many times , with practice.

I still think that we being forced to outplay our own mechanics is not right. Not for the trade-off we get for it (which is way too low).

Of course skilled rangers can make sword work. But it’s not okay if our class is the only one that has to be this skilled, turn of auto-attacks, smash our #1, and still jump to places you don’t want to.

P.S. jumping of red orbs makes you take a nice amount of damage. I wouldn’t call it the optimal use of the sword. Also, if you are using dagger in raid, you are probably doing it wrong.

Should be an option in your control settings , this way people can keep the current existing style if they want and if they want a non-locking feature they can check it off and get that. Of course, anet logic would probably make some kind of kittenty elite trait called ‘Master Of Swords’ and make it to where you need to use the trait to get free movement on sword as a way around it.

Definitely. Ranger sword is sooo annoying.

Yet another sword aa thread…
I don’t think they’re ever going to change it after how many years of us complaining.

Rev’s complain about projectile on AA and get it changed asap, we complain about our leap on AA for several years and get nothing. /logic

I would love to agree with this BUT why should we have a Trait when other classes have it base line.

erm no im not doing it wrong , Just different ps I’ve Finished the Vale boss just because DnT say use a torch doe not mean its the only way or the only set of effective weapons
so you can stop with that Attitude.

Disable auto-attacks, it’ll be annoying for a while, but it’ll save you so many headaches.

In the meantime, I wouldn’t hold my breath for ANet to do something about it… or speak at all.
