Overcharged Shot does things like this a lot. It sometimes tries to cast during rolls which puts it on cooldown as it thinks you cancelled the cast with a roll. You have to be very careful with it right now.
Aside from that, your rotation makes no sense. Why would you pull someone into close range just to net them then shoot them away from you?
On the Engineer PvP build front, weekend is arriving and I've started work on optimising my Rifle burst build. Never theorycrafted a game like this before. I've got a lot of stuff to try out.

Anyways...forever stuck on Frostgorge Sound's loading screen, not just me. Wonder what's going on.
Gratz thats quite the accomplishment!!
What did you get for it?
I've only started finishing zones 100% about lvl 30 onwards. It's something i'll get around to eventually (or sooner if the reward is like epic!)
You get 2 gifts of exploration and a star next to your name, gifts are used in crafting legendary weapons but noone knows how to craft the exploration one yet.

Orr zones are frustrating indeed, cursed shore takes forever to complete imo, I even went and respecced into a more defensive build just so I could run past mobs instead of fighting forever. The one skillpoint in the maze, holy, I wanted to break something trying to get to it, it feels like when you attack the ground turrets the entire zone aggroes in on you.

If you get interrupted, for example by a knockback, your skill goes on a short cooldown. If you get knocked down or stunned, all skills go on a cooldown (except for skills that bypass the disable) for the duration of that disable.
Also, if you fire in the wrong direction. Which shouldn't happen with instant skills AT ALL, since you don't need to face the target like cast-timed skills require you to.
Might be a bug imo.
Also if you are out of range, or the shot is obstructed, it still fires off and does the cooldown, and sometimes the target dodges.

Nothing at this moment ;_; It just gives me time to go do other stuff now, farm Cursed Shore for crafting mats or do dungeons or jumping puzzles...spent 30 minutes on one last night haha...kept dying >.<'
you are use to able to get 2 lvl 80 exotics, either thats bugged atm or they removed that reward completely (I didnt get them either). You also get 2 gifts of explorations which are used to craft legendary weapons but no one knows the recipe with these yet. Fawkes if you didnt get your gifts of exploration you need to reenter chanter of secrets which is in bloodtide coast the deadend cave POI.

i roll behind them of course. then i shoot them into my team and then use block to get out of the enemies if they notice me :D. its a dead non-revivable enemy in world vs world every time the shot goes off.
well ok, not every time, some people know what to do, but most are confused when they get pulled and then cant move. also, that prybar hits like a truck and makes beginner thieves kill themselves with confusion :p
this reminds me, is there a trick to increase view distance in world vs world? its mostly fine, but when there are huge numbers of people around, the game seems to go into panic mode and simply only draws 10 people, despite it drawing 80 before without a problem, it seems like it cant decide which person to draw, so it draws noone. Do you think its GPU related or should i put this game on my SSD?
Man, got a new graphics card in the mail on Wednesday (Radeon HD 7850), only to install it and log in to a game running at 10 fps on high settings, and 20 fps on low settings. The sadness ensued, I try everything possible, submit a ticket, nothing is working to fix it. I might as well have left my crappy card in, right?
Wrong. I log in the next day to see Anet has a software update. I update it, log in to consistent 60 fps on max settings. I love how fast they're responding to the problems people are having :D
On another note, just hit level 16. Mostly been playing sPvP, but I'm reallly digging the dynamic events. I actually look forward to logging in and doing the dailies for gathering, killing, events, etc. Been making bank off copper ore, lol. Also -- the other day I stumbled upon a field or something that had like 20 nodes of lettuce/carrots, and 10-15 nodes of copper ore. Has anyone else come across these or did I just hit the gathering jackpot?

that was useful information. kinda wanna do explorer but that would cost a lot of gold and time =\
i play with 2 fps on dragon fights...it sucks. comp is like 4 years old hah.
Here's some new SPVP footage on Elementalist for those interested.
Sweet thanks for posting this whats your trait setup? I plan on trying D/D when I reach 80. I see you use the Air Elemental I think it is the best for pure dps better than the fire elemental imo.
Also what the fuck is the fucking Juvenile Hawk Eye? Yesterday in WvW that fucking bird was so annoying I know its probably a pet but do they have like a range or something. I was more than 1,200 meters from the action but that thing was still after me
