[Daredevil] - Feedback

Hello!

My first impressions:

  • Staff animation looks and feels clunky
  • The new dodge animations are not really fluid
  • What exactly is the purpose of staff? I love the idea of staff but the way it feels now is that it doesn´t seem to be of any great use.
  • Can you please consider to put the Grandmaster Traits that alter your dodge ability into a toggle. So we can change the type of dodge we do during combat. The daredevil is an agile fighter that adepts to the situation. Please put something else into grandmaster and give us Lotus Training/Unhindered Combatant/Bounding Dodger as Stances.

Best regards!

Edit 1 :

So i thought about the daredevil again:

  • The new dodge types should be baseline as soon as you slot daredevil.
  • Make them stances/attunements/combat modes. You have that coding already from the elementalists attunements.
  • Switching between “combat modes” while in combat burns 50 endurance.

Seems quite conclusively when you take into account that the Daredevil gives you 50 extra endurance baseline and 50 endurance on steal etc. So the daredevil brings *more endurance management into play.

  • Put some enhancements for the different dodge types into the grandmaster slot.

e.g.:

Unhindered Combatant gives “one stack of stability” if you trait for it.

Bounding Dodger applies 5 stacks of vulnerability on impact.

Lotus Training gives you 1 second of resistance aswell.

Last but not least:

  • Smoothen the new dodge abilities and work on the staff animations.

Edit 2:

I would love to see a dark field ( https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dark_field)
on Dust Strike ( https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dust_Strike).

It would increase the close combat survivability. You can combo it with leap or blast finishers to apply blinds or use whirl or projectile finishers for life leech.

That would be a step in the right direction to give the weapon set more staying power and differentiate it from other weapon sets.

Best regards!
