Guild Wars 2

Will it be a 1500 range Daze ? +Mug(2000heal) / Bewildering Ambush(1500 range confusion application) ? Does that sound legit? Or will the mechanic change as well. I don’t know but a lot of the skills like Deathshroud on Necro don’t make any sense… since Necro isn’t getting a deathshroud… are these skills going to be broken ?

It’ll still tie in, but not trigger the same way it does for the standard mechanic. When they added Reaper shroud, it mapped traits to their slot number to simplify it. Looking at the preliminary wiki article, Scourge is getting 5 F skills, which can easily map to traits linked to Shroud skills.

From what I’ve seen of the new Thief class, Steal is how you mark the target, so with a Trickery Deadeye, you activate Steal, it marks the target which will provide various new benefits, and it will also apply all the old Steal bonuses that you trait into, the only difference is you will not shadowstep to the target now.

And yeah, Necro doesn’t have shroud, but it seems to provide alternative benefits, which isn’t entirely a new thing. Shroud-related traits will probably apply “while you have X effect active” or something.

Let’s hope thief gets a slo-mo visual following the bullet as it flies from the gun to its target and splatters it. Yeah, I know it’s an open world and you’d be in danger from enemies while you watch the visual, but how cool would that be?

I think that would be a fair “penalty.”
