"dodging" affecting GF AP gain?
I was running CN yesterday with my standard rotation - fox's cunning, constricting arrow, cordon, fox shift to get in, plant growth, steel breeze.
GF then told me not to "dodge". When asking why I didn't get a response (not the point of this post, but very annoying) so I didn't change. We wiped on Orcus. Then I had 3 people in the party swearing at me because I was dodging. They finally told me that it was preventing the GF from gaining AP. I still don't know if this was a power - one of the Fox ones? - or actual dodging with the right stick. Is this a known issue that I was just blissfully unaware of? I've run a lot of CN have never heard of this before.
Thanks

He could've been better and used your dodge to his advantage. Orcus is highly predictable and everyone can see when you get a free dodge. He could've used that time to refill his stamina bar. Oh well
To make sure that the GF's doing a better job of protecting you (since you aren't allowed to dodge) ask your GF to run KV.
After the GF aggros the boss, purposely stand right next to the GF and do your usual HR thing.
Your GF "did" ask politely to tell you to not dodge, so you only adjusted your playstyle to compensate for the teamwork.
Primary tank here.
I play with HRs all the time and never been bothered by their dodge. We gain AP by receiving AND causing damage. So AP gain would not stop completely anyway.
I have and will never, ever chastise my teammates for avoiding AoEs.
We tanks usually have the opposite problem, especially if we use Knights Valor.
[I'm looking at you, colorblind GWF!]
If you need a tank who will let you dodge to your heart's contentment, send me a PM.
But then, my main is a spiked turtle with Permashield.
Maybe this only affects Tacts or DPS Conqs.
Paging @rjc9000 !
Is "do not dodge" a tactician thing?
I am Took.
"Full plate and packing steel" in NW since 2013.
But, really, I have no clue why this GF is not welcoming the brief reprieve. It's not like the Martial Mastery AP Gain bonus is that amazing that DCs will live and die by this AP Gain.
If this GF is trying to simply hide behind their shield all day in Spellplague/Svardborg/FBI, well, they're going to have a bad time. Part of me feels guilty for reccomending Steel Defense as a training wheel class feature, but, well, I can't transfer my understanding of the GF to others, so I try my best in my writing.
I have no clue why your GF is trying to spam invincibilty, since you only need the invincibility when Orcus is about to hit you.
It may be one of the two:
1. This GF has really low stamina regen (or poor management) and can't hold shield for long, he needs AP to get steel defense and shield bash Orcus to refil stamina.
2. He is too greedy and wants to either constantly apply buffs while invincible (steel defense) or deal some dps while invincible cause he's a conqueror GF.
I met a GF once who kicked me from CN, cause I was constantly on the move with my HR and he said I was "jumping like and idiot" and it disturbs his tanking.
