Retreat
From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
Retreating is a movement mechanic in some skills, used to roll or jump directly backwards. Often used to evade attacks or for skill-specific benefits, it can also be used for positioning and thus control in battle. Movement-speed adjustments do not affect the intended travel distance.
