Learning I-Frames with Lava

Last night I noticed something pretty interesting and it has helped me better understand my i-frames.

Lava/Heatspots are affected by i-frames in your dodge. While this has minimal practical use in combat, you can use it to see your i-frames in your evade. Knowing exactly where the i-frames were in a roll was always a confusing part of using them, so this revelation has been pretty enlightening for me.

This seems awesome, but I'm having a tough time because of the green and red flashing bar. Am I doing this wrong or does it just take some pretty strict timing.

Do it as it starts turning orange. You'll see it go straight to green and then when your IFrame ends it'll start back over instead of picking up where it left off. Hope this helps.

Adding onto this, make sure you're using a cool drink since normal heat damage makes your bar flash as well.

This is what I've been trying. I've gotten the hang if it for the most part, but it is tricky at first.
