Guild Wars 2

I’m going to keep this one short and sweet – The ‘Expeditious Dodger’ trait says "Gain 2 seconds of swiftness on _evade_’ . Why does it not activate when evading an attack as a result of using a skill? Flanking Strike, for example.

Because it’s only designed to be affected when using the standard Dodge mechanic.

It’s not triggered when evading an attack.
Poor word choice I suppose, something else to add to the endless backlog of stuff ArenaNet has to polish in the future.

Yes should really say on dodge – I always assumed that’s what is was anyway and I use it all the time.
