Guild Wars 2

It’s one that will likely never make it into the game. But I felt like expressing this because I really believe in it. I will try to be concise, and I’d love it if this made it into the game – but it’ll probably only be a dream!

The problem:
Apart from certain bugs, which I know will be fixed in time.. rangers lack options for their utility skills.

My idea:
Add stealth to some utility skills. Stylistically, it suits the idea of ranger entirely, as it has been based on the classic d&d class (yes I am that dorky!), and provides rangers with a means to escape hairy situations with a very limited timer on how safe they will be. No stealth attacks would be added to this, as it is more about defense/elusiveness. It seems like a fitting addition to survival skills.

There! Vented.

I believe during the beta weekends, there were a couple of stealth options for ranger, but I can’t remember what they were now.

It would make sense for rangers to have some form of stealth/camouflage utilities, they are rangers after all and supposed to be masters of the wild.

Hide In Plain Sight is a fun trait, stylistically (also named after a ranger feat in d&d ^-^), unfortunately it’s not quite so effective. I tried to make the most of it because stealth+ranger for me is stylistically amazing. Sadly it still locks you in place and more often than not, if you’re held in place, you’re about to get hit by a flurry..

Anyway yay, I like the positive-ness of this post so far <3

Well, and what would be the difference to Thief? Longbow and pet?

Thief gets stealth and blind on a lot of skills while rangers would get it from utility. Thieves receive stealth attacks while rangers don’t. You can already compare Mesmer to Thief. Are mesmers different to thief? They have stealth skills too.
