Guild Wars 2

So, why does brutal shot have a cast time of 0.5s? I don’t think there is any other EVADE in the game which has a cast time. Evades be used reactional and they should be instant! Do I really have to “precast” my evade to avoid damage, or how is this suppose to work?

PS: warrior next meta…not

you can jump while using it to prevent the evade

umm let me list some the skills that do have cast times:

Burning Speed, Hornet Sting, Serpent’s Strike, Disabling Shot, death blossom.

Having delay animations isnt a new thing. It’s pretty standard and instant casts are the rarer ones.

Unrelenting Assault or w/e it’s called for Rev Sword 3 also have a cast time before the evade kicks in. Gotten me downed pre-cast due to it many times.
