Guild Wars 2

The trait Fleet of Foot can be enabled with 20 points in Acrobatics trait line. It removes cripple and weakness upon dodging. It’s an invaluable ability to have when running from mobs and zergs in WvW. I use it all the time when roaming eternal battlegrounds.

This trait works wonders. However…there are times when it just absolutely fails. I think it’s bugged to some degree or wrongly worded. There are many times where I have cripple, weakness or both and the trait fails to remove it when I dodge.

Has anybody experience this? I suspect the trait either only activates when you actually evade an enemy attack, is bugged to a degree that it just doesn’t work at random times or is bugged and fails to activate when you have both weakness and cripple at the same time.

I will do some testing tomorrow. In the meantime I ask any fellow thieves if they have experienced the trait not working when it’s supposed to.

Thanks.

I think there is a CD if you dodge once (no matter if a condition got removed or not).
You dodge (without cripple/weakness) —> CD —> you eat a cripple/weakness and you dodge —> nothing happens
CD is 10 secs

I think you’re right on the CD triggering even when you don’t have cripple, I thought it was bugged but I never thought of that. It really isn’t a strong trait because cripple is hardly a problem for thief, I’d rather it do something else like small heal if conditioned or something.

I like the idea of it, but with its cooldown and the fact that I can get 2 extra initiative every 10 seconds, I have to pass it up.

Hey, thanks for your incite. I did tests for this and it turns out that it does go on CD whether it not is heals a condition. Not sure if this was intended but it’s quite lame! I also never noticed it had a CD in the first place, that explains a lot. I spam dodge quite often mostly because I use sigils of energy and runes of the adventurer.

if it was cripple/ice i would pick it prolly.
