Sylvan Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Sorry if this is common knowledge, and clearly my search Fu is weak but I have a question. I've recently rolled a sniper and I often find when I'm on the move and have an enemy targetted when I hit my cover roll button my toon rolls in place, but doesn't go into cover. Is this a bug or is it working as intended that I need to stop moving...and then roll into cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJNJ Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 It's a bug when you use roll to cover, some people(myself included) use the crouch button instead. You lose the roll but that big wont happen anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verfallen Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Not to mention its only a matter of time using this that you'll roll into an unexpected direction, pull another group and cause a wipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psylee Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 or in other hand you can stop in place for few miliseconds ,than use role to cover , it wont ever bug as long as you are not moving or using skills at same time personaly i prefer roll to cover since rolling for 30meters in black suit looks epic and ive learn to live with bug,tho my expectations are still realy high for fix in every patch. btw its always working prefect on PTS but never on live version...

Simple, you take cover in place if you do not have the "green man cover" symbol which indicates where you will roll to. It's better to bind Take cover in place, that will give you more control. I have a second bind for the roll, but I almost never use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilD Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I've got the scroll wheel on my mouse bound so that click down is to take cover in place, and tilt left is roll to cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stressfire Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) Not to mention its only a matter of time using this that you'll roll into an unexpected direction, pull another group and cause a wipe. True. I have yet to do this, but have had some close calls. Didn't take long to be mindful of where that green silhouette is. But as others have said, it's a bug - happens a lot when you are rolling in a direction other than the one your character is facing. I've gotten used to it - so used to it that if it was fixed, it would really throw me off Edited April 2, 2013 by Stressfire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzoorrzz Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Since I have crouch (lvl 11?), I used cover roll maybe twice, just to see the animation when I had a suitable hard cover nearby. Or is there any benefit of using cover roll instead of crouch I'm not aware of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryRow Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 When you are crouched behind your cover screen, you get a 20% ranged defense bonus, but when you take cover behind a physical object, you get the same bonus PLUS a 100% defense chance when you aren't taking any action (firing your gun or casting something). Try it sometime. Just sit in cover and don't fire, and watch all the enemy white damage shots miss. You can also use roll to cover for advanced gap closing and kiting (this technique about to be relatively obsolete in 2.0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for rolling - it does have some good utility as you can actually roll quite far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
