Guild Wars 2

Would like to see some sort of limited (5 secs?) invulnerable boon applied to your character when you bring up the Map for traveling. Similar to the one applied when watching a video. But ONLY if you were not in combat at the time you started viewing the map. It gets very old to get out of combat, bring up the map and start zooming/scrolling to find your desired waypoint, and then you can’t travel because something has started attacking you or respawned right next to you, etc. In heavy aggro areas like Orr and such this gets really old after the 4th or 5th attempt to travel.

I love this idea! Keeping it to 5 seconds means you can’t abuse it to avoid an attack because by the time you minimize the map to get back into play you’re vulnerable again and have only blinded yourself to enemy position. Hmm, I suggest that 5 seconds be the max, and that closing the map terminates vulnerability the moment you press the key so you still have that moment of impairment.

What if people use it to became invulnerable by opening their map juste before entering in fight ?

Suggestion : A 5sec delay to use Waypoint before they’re disabled because of the fight.

Make it so that if you (or your pet/minion/etc for Rangers/Necromancers/etc) attacks and you aren’t in map view the invulnerability goes away.

And have it not give the invulnerable boon in WvW or PvP (if there is a map view while in a PvP match).

Since you can move while in map this would only work if the invulnerability was dropped if you moved while in map. Otherwise if you know an area well enough you could use it to skip past certain mobs while running with map open.
