I don’t get this skill. It’s useful for a closer, but the time it takes to shoot the arrow and move is kind of long compared to other instant-teleport closers/abilities. I am constantly frustrated by it when traveling because it never allows me to jump over gaps, climb mountains, pretty much do anything I would want it to.

Has anyone had success with this skill? It’s useless for PVE exploration atm.

yeah its annoying, but i think this is intended so that you cant cheat jump puzzles (and it would also be pretty useful in pvp)

the delay thing bugs the hell out of me because if you are using it for a move speed boost, by the time you have shot the arrow you have run half the distance it has traveled anyway!

p.s. explosive arrow moves way too slow. you can fire it max distance and blink+run to it and get there before it hits the ground

Get out of dodge arrow.

That’s about the only time I use it. Yea it isn’t much due to the delay and short distance, but when your running from a pack of 40+ enemies in WvW, every few feet helps:)

Remove the blind and reduce the intiative cost to 5 and it is fixed.
