The skill, trait, and rune in question below are:

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Superior_Rune_of_the_Daredevil

Now, I have a couple questions.

~ Firstly, is the “Bounding Dodger” text written correctly or incorrectly? It firsts specifies that you do aoe damage after one evades, then receiving the damage buff after one dodges. Yet, unless I’m mistaken, those two key words have different meanings and functions. Evading is when an attack never registers, while dodging is simply using endurance. With regard to the trait, this difference does not follow, because the aoe damage and damage buff triggers both when one dodges, not upon whether or not an attack is evaded.

~ Secondly, for the Daredevil Rune’s capstone effect, “Next attack is guaranteed to crit after completing a dodge roll while in combat” how exactly does this work with “Bound” and “Bounding Dodger” trait? If the trait indeed has a typo, then I would assume that the Rune, which specifies a dodge, not an evade, will therefore guarantee “Bound” to crit, correct? If not, why is that?

Hopefully I’m being clear here,

Thanks

I am not excatly sure about how it works now, but i doubt a lot has changed:
There used to be a certain build called valkyrie jumper i think, that would used the decribed effect.
It worked in a way where you would first dodge, to get a guaranteed critical hit on the following vault. So unless they changed it for no reason, the daredevil rune actually applies the effect after the dodge move has been completed.
On the first matter I believe its just a minor mistake in the description.
