Guild Wars 2

I play a scepter wielding Necro, and this bug has happened to me as well, so it is not exclusive to melee classes either. Also, it is NOT just for backward rolling. This bug occurs when I strafe dodge roll, as I often side strafe to avoid aoe’s to allow me to remain in casting distance by circling and not backing up. Still happens.

I have noticed this problem first with the larger versions of Ice wurm mobs, particularly those that have the ability to hurl stones at you. However, later I found this bug to also happen when attempting to dodge mob aoe’s when you can visibly see the red marker on the ground.

The bug is that when double tapping, the character seems to begin dodging, but then after a few moments remain stuck in place, thus remaining in the aoe’s range. You are struck with the full damage of the attack, and endurance is wasted, not to mention health loss or being subjected to a knock down when it was dodged in time. I would like to know if this has happened or is happening to anyone else, and how this can be fixed.

This has happened to me as well. I didn’t notice if it had an effect on armor deterioration however, though I would think it would, since Vengeance is a downed warrior ability
