So vindicator is now a daredevil with one less bar devs?

[AquaBR.9250]

This change killed vindicator for me, now he's no different from a warrior with reckless dodge from the Strength spec, it just have a cool animation, but overhall is the same mechanic: damage dodges. A bunch of profession have those, elementalist, thieves, what made Vindicator special was his single dodge, and the timing of the dodge being different, i just don't se a reason to play it now instead of any other profession with a dodge roll trait, the whole patch was garbage, zero trade offs between elite specs just means they'll all play the same, you are missing the point YOU raised when you made elite specs to begin with.

 

Whats next? Virtuoso with clones?  Reaper with two shrouds? Oh maybe Mirage will now roll on the dodge

before we were daredevils with one dodge, we still are thiefs with cd and initiative entangled, herald is still an upkeep overlord, renegade a well master, only its wells die when others dont.

Rev already has enought tradeoffs, and vindi still has tradeoffs, its jump still has requirements, now it is just more manageable and feels like a reward to use the dodge than a punishment, now the good things of the doodge surpass the bad ones.

Better ask for energy meld to be something good, to get better traits instead of the endurance ones, and make aliance good.

That would make vindi unique, not another thief nerfed mecanic ,  at least now our dodge is better than thief ones.

Initiative is still barely  like the energy system. This comparison is bad.  The implementation is completely different. 
 

moreover, the energy system for Rev is directly ripped from GW1, meaning that Thief initiative is actually just a simplified GW1 style mechanic.  In reality, Rev is the OG in this regard as it actually has the full mechanic of the first game, unlike Thief which is just a knockoff. Rev is no knockoff thief

I hated the one dodge. This is more better
