thanks for the fights

I died so often during that fight (or rather: those fights) that my armor broke. Completely worth it.

Swoop is your only option, neither Lightning Reflexes nor Sword 2 will allow you to travel faster due to the fact that turning around is so kitten slow.
I can only echo what others said: Get your signet, or even better swiftness, swoop out of there and dodge the CCs. Also, pray it’s not a thief because he has more mobility than you.

You sound like you turn with the keyboard… Use the mouse and turning is near instant. Lightning reflexes is a nice initial disengage, but needs follow up, much like a swoop does (or any single escape mechanism for that matter unless you’re a thief).

Mouse is still too slow, because you either have to stay still or you run a little bit into the wrong direction.
If you don’t believe me, run some tests. While there is a very small difference even with suboptimal jumps (In my test course, 1min 18sec instead of 1min 20sec), this is not likely to be the deciding factor between dieing or getting away.

I just wanted to say a quick thank you to all the theorycrafters out there (not only jubskie) who make awesome posts like this and make me not lose hope in my ranger.
