Guild Wars 2

My thief has acquired the neat ability to dodge in place, and thus still takes the damage he sought to avoid… what gives?

I used to have the same problem until I uncheck the “Melee Attack Assist”

I have this issue all the freakin time, I started noticing it on my thief about a month ago, and now that I got my necro t 80 I can confirm that it happens with him as well, and probably all classes. Super annoying, can get you killed easily…

oh, and it has nothing to do with melee attack assist… I disabled that in pre launch and have never enabled it since.

I confirm this bug, and it’s bloody annoying.
I saw it happening quite often when trying to dodge an incoming AoE attack that knocks you down, like the stomp Kol uses.

I have this on my mesmer, the animation looks like I start to dodge then I’m back where I started

Actually certain auto attacks have the capability to cancel dodge midway through the animation. For example the third attack on the guardians hammer chain. To get around this hit a movement key when you dodge (bind dodge to a seperate key like shift) and don’t let go of it until the dodge animation has ended.

In the case of the ranger sword auto chain you’re just SOL, its basically not even possible to dodge while using it. (making it pretty useless btw)

This bug really has nothing to do with the previous 2 posts. It is a glitch that cancels your dodge roll halfway through (it doesn’t even require an enemy’s presence) .for example it happens in PVE when you are trying to dodge out of an AoE, sometimes it will randomly bug out and cancel your roll half way through and you end up taking the damage you would have normally dodged out of.

It can happen when you aren’t attacking anything?
