Guild Wars 2

For the Guardian:
Wings of Resolve: This skill is no longer affected by movement-altering effects, such as cripple and swiftness. It also no longer queues and will activate immediately when possible.

Rightio, so I guess it can be done.

Since playing an evasion based thief is all about immediately reacting to your opponents skills, why wasn’t something like this done for things like Flanking Strike (both), Death Blossom, Disabling Shot, Debilitating Arc, Vault or Shadow Assualt?

Of course it can be done. It’s done already for skills that have auto attack enabled on them, and program-wise it’s just a matter of clearing the stack in the same way stow-weapon would, before adding the defensive skill to it, resulting it in being the only skill on the stack and therefore at the top of the queue.

It would be nice to have for these evade skills, absolutely. In the meantime, as most are probably aware but I’ll say it anyway on the off-chance: it can be self-achieved by stow-weapon+the skill you want to activate. It’s not the same of course; obviously, it adds a few ms before activating the evade skill, and, regarding #1, for those not using the auto-attack setting for their #1 skill, stow-weapon needs to be properly timed to cancel it or it will keep executing the chain.

Please no, for Dwayna’s sake no.

I don’t want my 2nd DB interrupting my 1st DB instead of performing 2 DBs in a row.

Yes it would be great if they did that.

It’s a blender, not a kitteng helicopter.

Errr, I meant interrupting the queue and aftercast, not the skill animation itself.

But it did, the autoattack speed was increased across the board on thief sword. Agree on debilitating arc though, that needs to be 10% faster.

Wings of Resolve can interrupt animation. If a skill cannot interrupt animation, it is placed in queue instead. Aftercast is part of the skill animation, thus interrupting the queue is interrupting the animation.

The point is if it’s not queued and can be used while in use then you’d take flight into the sky till you ran out of ini.

Dagger Storm is comparable to Wings to allow interruption of skills rather than queueing.
