Can you dodge through giant snowballs in the Wintersday JP?

[Farohna.6247]

Odd question maybe, but I watched a player dodge through the giant snowballs at the end of the jumping puzzle.  I tried it with no success.  I may simply not be that coordinated lol.  Is it possible, anyone tried?

I seen people glitch through them other then that you can corner jump them tho.

Might be a latency thing because afaik you can't.

Might be cheaters. Normally, you can't.

Ok so no, it's not normal lol.   Thanks for your responses.

You can dodge through them, but nailing down the timing is really hard. Also, there are snowball aoes that Skrit throw that can overlap with the snowball at certain locations making dodging through a gamble as you can be hit by an aoe right after a successful dodge. So, imo save yourself the trouble and just avoid them.

As previous post says, you can but you take a risk. I have tried to do it and succeeded a few times, but I end up getting more frustrated than just waiting. I've also found that on some edges you can run around the snow balls but that's also risky as when I try to do it constantly I fail more often than not 😂

The biggest problem with those AoEs is that their timing differs from instance to instance. Too inconsistent to learn to dodge the snowballs properly, hence my assumption that most people you encounter doing that are not playing the activity in a legit way.

Lol I am definitely not skilled enough to get my timing right.  I'm sure some players were amused to watch the bouncing charr rolled over by a huge snowball as I fell off the edge.  I just do it the normal way, but I was intrigued if it was legit or sketchy.  So it's possible but for those with faster fingers than I.  

Thanks for everyone's responses.

It's a moving collision box, which the game handles poorly (hence every dragon fight being a manicure contest). No one's cheating, they've just done it enough times to know the timings.
