Guild Wars 2

My one suggestion to change to the #4 ability on Mesmer Torch is mostly cosmetic.

Currently, it’s called The Prestige, which is the final part of a magic trick. It stealths you for 3 seconds (4 if traited) while blinding all surrounding foes, and when you come out, you burn enemies around you.

One part of my suggested change is to make the second part of this skill (the re-appearance) at our control. Let us come out any time within the time limit of our choosing, for the same effect. If the full time passes, it’ll act as it does now.

The second part is merely a name change. Change the name to “The Turn,” and then change the command to re-appear to “The Prestige.” That way it’s more in-line with magician terms, and gives Mesmers another little gimmick.

I’d even be okay with not having the burning effect if the time runs out.

Well even though the suggestion is nice, it’s not mainly cosmetic, and i am not sure if it will be a minor change either because of how stealth works, there is no way of removing stealth from yourself other than dealing damage, there is no way of removing it on-command. But i do believe if it worked this way it would be much better than it is now, and it would give mesmers a blast finisher they can actually rely on.

I should have said my reasoning is mainly cosmetic. The second part is the whole reason I even wanted to do this.

As for not being able to remove stealth, the second part could merely force the user out of stealth. Or make it do minor (like, 1 point?) of damage to force it. Hell, I’d even say weaken the burn duration a but and give it direct damage as well.
