Ranger sword aa and dodge
I was able to handle it quite nicely.
If you can keep the timers in mind and pay attention you shouldn’t have problems.
I recommend getting used to Action Camera. That way you keep attacking through holding mouse button 1 and keep dodging the blues with your evades (you should be able to dodge every single one with #2 and #3). If you realize you don’t have the CD for whichever reason you just lift your finger, stop attacking and make a step back (with action camera it’s full speed, not reduced since you are not backpaddling).
It takes practice but one can get used to it fairly quickly.

Dude i thought we concur in another post this mechanic is crap. You can not be crossing your fingers to be able to do land the only 1 attack in the AA chain that allows you to do other actions to be able to do the dodge or the heal.
In kick and pounce stages you are in a middle of a leap so you are frak.
There is not outplaying this bug, we must burn the company to make them fix at once all the annoying bugs and crappy mechanics the ranger/druid have.
To the OP do not use the sword and power build for it matters. The DPS is ridiculous low compared to any other class in game.
Also we don’t have the sustain not the hp/armor.
Go condi and use axe/torch + traps and then you will be able to get up to the low damage class tier.
Sword is just too bugged to be used.
The sword is just clunky.
… But for the time being, there is a way how to make your life miserable enough to make it work without mistakes.
It’s just what it is. Like the druid itself. Completely out of place but somehow viable.
Just because it is possible to play it efficiently doesn’t mean it’s good.

Main-hand sword
I just want to clarify for good that main hand sword is currently working as intended. All movement skills cannot be interrupted by dodging and this is currently intentional. It has a very specific play style, and I would like it to remain. I understand that rangers want a one handed melee option that is more mobile, but that will have to wait, as I know there are a mix of players who also like how this weapon plays and I do not want to take away one of the more unique playstyles that we have and replace it with something that is fairly common.Thanks,
Jon
Another 1 hand melee option with Heart of Thorns would have been nice…just saying….
