Guild Wars 2

Jump staff 3 does not evade twice anymore.

PRE NERF
-use jump staff 3
-the jump swing is an evade
-the character stays still for 1/2 second
-the character evades backwards
-the second evade can be cancelled by using any action other than movement

POST NERF
-use jump staff 3
-the jump swing is an evade
-the second evade does not occur anymore

It looks like Anet saw this as a bug and decided to stealth nerf it. RIP infinite evade acro trick daredevil staff teef.

Sounds like a bug fix, not a stealth nerf.

This was a good change imo.
The roll evade only gave you a fraction of the 1/2 sec evade so it was gimmicky to use it anyway.
Now I don’t have to do an action after landing to cancel
the roll.

Keep therws bug fixes coming!

that neat i did not know of eva frames on it i just did it becuase it look cool

Hmm that’s weird. I was underwater when I logged out before the patch. When I got out of the water, I got the message “You’ve learned a new skill: Debilitating Arc”. I guess it’s because they’ve changed it. However, I also got the same message for Dust Strike. Have they modified the skill too?

Well they finally put it in the patch notes last night.

Noticed this the same with scrapper hammer too.

the “evade” animation that played after you 3+jump wasnt actually giving you any evade frames, it was simply a part of staff 3 animation that was delayed by your jump so it wasnt really any useful

Tbh, using jump to change the cast time of skills is pretty dodgy in and of itself, so given they fixed the sword 2 jump thing they were bound to fix this eventually.
