Use skill canceling for sword #2, and you can improve on tricks you can do a lot. There are places you cant use the jumping back on, thats where this technique shines.

It’s very sad that we have to have instructional videos on how to use 3 skills on a weapon…

Never in my gaming experience have I ever encountered such a ridiculous thing.

What? How is it sad? You could argue that it is one of the most dynamic weapon in the game… ere go the current discussion.

so having only 3 ways of using 3 skills is better than having Multipul ways or different uses of 3 skills means less Dynamic well blow me over , Sword is clearly more Dynamic than any other Main hand sword in the game.

other swords can only do 2 things , get out of the way once and Spam AA , this ranger sword has Skill canceling, Different Routes of use , alternate methods of use say compaired to a Mesmer main hand sword which only Ports and AA’s / different ways to damge like boon removal or Projectile Destruction on sword 3 for Guardain(which people forget about a lot)

this is what dynamic is and applies to everything that has the most alternating ways of chain or changing activity from )in gw2s case more options for the limitation of 3 skills .

here is the meaning of dynamic
d???nam?k/
adjective
adjective: dynamic

1.
(of a process or system) characterized by constant change, activity, or progress.
“a dynamic economy”
Physics
relating to forces producing motion.
Linguistics
(of a verb) expressing an action, activity, event, or process.
denoting or relating to web pages that update frequently or are generated according to an individual’s search terms.
“the dynamic content of these sites keeps their audience informed and up to date”
powerful, potent, positive, effective, effectual, high-powered, aggressive, driving, pushing.

1. a force that stimulates change or progress within a system or process.
“evaluation is part of the basic dynamic of the project”

in this case ranger sword has more Dynamic options than other swords in terms of “powerful, potent, positive, effective, effectual, high-powered, aggressive, driving, pushing.” they way its allowed to move allows the ranger sword the dynamic of consistant pressure.

i’ve played the other main hand sword weapons , and ranger sword is way less restrictive even though you have to learn these " tricks which people lable as poor desgin" , but the Reality is .

its designed this way to be different much more than just a one way teleport and the odd effect to improve or block damage , which ranger sword Sacrifices for the insane mobility uses.
