Guild Wars 2

If u dodge roll while in the middle of the cast, it will go into full duration cooldown with out renewing all ur virtual or in shelter case, it would no heal you and go into a full cooldown.

yea I HATE that!

While I admit this is an issue, its also unfair if you can use 1 second of invuln, and then get the cooldown back 4 seconds later.

However, I can’t see any reason you would want to dodge while you are invulnerable, dodge immediately afterwards if needs be, but if youre getting caught in that split second you timed your invuln very badly.

It wouldn’t been a problem if the skill actually trigger instead of going inti full cooldown without first healing you or renewing ur virtual. And u do realize guardian can trait for dodge heal so it just become a habit.

Irregardless, It should trigger virtue refresh, stuff happens like hitting esc or rolling, netting your 90s CD useless and ultimately ends up killing you cause that’s the whole point of renew to get those virtues back.

I can understand wanting shelter to heal at the start of the cast, but renewed focus makes you invulnerable. If you interrupt that cast in any way, it’s because you’re a bad player.

It would be really broken if they didn’t go cooldown. You could just constantly cycle block, evade and invulnerability.

Changing the heal / virtue recharge happen instantly would be an option but would remove option for a counter play.

I think making the effect gradual would be a better alternative. So Shelter would heal you like every 0.5 second for smaller amount and Renewed Focus would remove 25% of Virtue max cooldown every 0.5 second.
