Gap Closer/Backflip with Potency, do you like them?

[Baxcel]

I swear if you DPS mains get us Tank mains gapclosers changed there will be riots!!

But in all seriousness I prefer throwing my gap closer into my damage rotation, I'm not using it for anything else in most fight, including savage.. if I needed the extra movement that much I'd pop sprint.. besides using the gap closer on GNB was just about the only thing I could do as the rest of the kit was mostly GCDs

Maybe i didn't say correctly, i meant pretty much on occasion of when i have full stacks and because now most of the movement tools have 2 stacks or 3 like Warrior, you gotta use 1 to get the cooldown going but regardless i hate that for damage purposes.

But, as Seraphor said, that's the point. If there were no charges it would be worse because you would have to use them exactly when they finish cooling down, every time, to maximize their damage contribution and you would never use them for the movement. Giving them charges lets you actually use them for the movement if you need to.

No. En Avant is the best gap-closer IMO given its simplicity. It's always there when you want to use it, not there to be weaved into your damage and then be missing in an emergency.

That's some strange reasoning, considering rangers are the most mobile role in the game even without movement actions, and they would be the least inconvenienced by having to use movement actions on cooldown for their damage.

I know but that's also why i prefer Thunderclap over other stuff. You both explained it well and made the point, i just can't enjoy that in general.

Shukuchi is the superior 'gap closer'. It's so easy to move around the arena with that thing

Ranger? I think you mean DNC. I've had my narrow moments, most recently in the Rabanastre alliance raids with vast arenas.

Don't you need to place that one though?

Ranger?

He's referring to the role. Ranged Physical -> Rangers.

I quite like having potency on my mobility tools

As someone who always prefers to move rather than eat an aoe, the doing damage part to rengage is nice. Not to mention i can toss it in a burst window if its got spare stacks. You only need 1 gap closer at a time

That's why I said 'gap closer' and not gap closer.

It was just a joke, I love that skill.

Yes, that.

A note about Shukuchi with no judgment as to its quality vs other movement actions:
You can use the new gtoff argument to use it with a single click/press. It will target your mouse cursor location immediately without waiting for confirmation, and if you have the ground target limit range option on, gtoff will respect this and activate at max distance if your mouse cursor is too far away.

Shukuchi is so much easier to use with the new ground targetting options, the only problem is you need to go in and turn those options on as for some ridiculous reason they're not default.
