Guild Wars 2

Wouldn’t the auto atk order of conditions make more sense if the cripple was first? So there’s a higher chance that they’ll be in range for the following atks?

That would be nice.

It is most likely like this so that it isn’t ideal because otherwise it would be way too easy I suppose. I mean you could say the same for almost every chain auto attack. It’d be better if ranger 1h sword leaped on the first strike to get in range instead of in the middle, it’d be better if scepter mesmer auto made a clone on the first hit instead of third, etc. Plus if something like this were done to auto attacks it could easily be abused by interrupting your attack chain to just use the first ability over and over, which is why I suspect auto attack chains don’t progress unless you hit someone.

Eh, the current flow is that you’re likely to initiate combat with Savage Leap and cripple with that. You don’t need cripple at the start of the chain because the enemy should be crippled by the time it starts. The cripple at the end of the chain is just maintaining the initial Leap cripple to help keep your target in range.

Good point.

this, and with salvage leap on such a short cooldown you shouldn’t have problems sticking to your target with the cripples and immo if your traited for it

I don’t have a problem with it, i was just wondering the logic behind it. For the reasons i stated. Which was explained. =)
