Anyone else remember like a year ago being able to basically instantly use gs3 as an instant dodge? ANd being able to chain if with ur dodges for a 3 combo invulnerability?

Well I do. And I remember that NOW I can’t do that, and i don’t understand why. One reason is latency and lagg in wvsw. But even outside wvsw i can’t do it anymore. THere is up to a 1 second delay on the usage of whirlwind. And when it gets activated and functions it has its own builtin delay that you are vulnerable to atack during.

I don’t like this, I think it should be fixed. I don’t remember reading any patch notes saying it had beeen changed from teh old one where it went off intantly and you can chain it with dodges for 3 dodges in a row.

No, you couldn’t before either. It’s always been 1s cast with a 3/4s evade in the middle of it. The function and animation hasn’t changed since launch, just the damage and the effect of movement buffs and impairments.

Lag can certainly affect that timing, but there’s always been brief vulnerability in the maneuver you’re taking about. Then again, dodging twice doesn’t give you unbroken evade either.

I dont know why but i have noticed this same phenomenon, basically GS3 feels somewhat slower to use to me now, always this small delay before it actually activates, ive only had this since recently. mabye this just feels that way to me, but know that you are not alone. Ah well might just be WvW lags though
