Guild Wars 2

So i have been playing ranger since game came out. everyone keeps saying use the sword for max damage for 1v1’s, but seriously every time i use it i die due to the fact that i cant dodge. the #1 skill chain does not allow me to dodge at proper times and even when using skill #2, the ranger still waits for the chain to end before the use of skill 2. whats the point of having of having the ability to dodge, when you aren’t able to when using the sword at the times u most want

Disable the Auto-attack on Sword #1 skill.
Then bind 1 to a comfy button on your mouse with repeat option “while pressed”, delay 25milliseconds. (I’m using logitech btw) If you are on the target press and hold the button. Release that button and press 2 to use the skill or dodge. The 1 skill will disengage much responsive that way.
/hats up for trying to use sword. Not many rangers using it.

Hope it helps.

Can you completely shut down the auto attack option somehow?
If I de-tagert the enemy I can press #1 once and he will only do the first swing.
If I have the target selected the character does the full duration.

Any way to get rid of that?
Found nothing in the options.

Control right click?

By binding the 1 key like i instructed above will stop the sequence almost instantly when stop pressing the button.
Ctrl+right click on the 1 skill on the bar to disable auto-attack btw.
Don’t forget if you go sword+warhorn/axe, you will have to disable it too when you switch to sword+axe.

Yah there is nothing in the options, you have to do it manually.

Yep the boxy circle with 2 arrows surrounding the #1 skill will disappear. Indicating the auto attack is off.
Also don’t forget to switch it back on when you go back to longbow or whatever other weapons that doesn’t have problem with auto attack.

Basically the binding ^ above is auto attack but on demand on your finger tip. You can stop anytime you want by just stop pressing.

This was it! kitten yea!
I was searching all over the place but unable to find any hint (how) you could do that.
Thanks!
Finding this out after 1500h of gameplay … lol

Anyway, this is a gamechanger for me right now. Loving it!

No worries, took me awhile to figure it out myself too. Glad can help.
