Guild Wars 2

So I’ve noticed that aside from the other issues people have with flanking strike, it likes to queue itself behind sword chains part 2 and 3. Not much of a delay but long enough to allow my squishy body to soak up that warrior axe burst just before the evade starts. Is there a reason an evade skill is queueing itself rather than breaking the channel like dodge does?

All bugs and what not aside this seems like a bit of a big deal for the evade based s/d thieves out there…

It’s annoying, but that’s pretty much how all of our skills work. I don’t think Flanking Strike is the only one.

I don’t really get why they would make sword chain 2 and 3 channeled. Ranger makes a little sense with the mobility tacked onto their chains, but even in that case not being able to dodge out of the abilities is counter productive.

Typically, I keep a shadow return up 100% of the time vs a warrior, for this very reason. It takes precedence over autoattack.
