Guild Wars 2

Can we have the secondary effect of the thief’s Concealed Defeat trait changed/overhauled/removed? The ‘Create a smoke screen when downed’ portion is horrible in PvP since it gives away the fact that you were downed and your position when you’re downed (in case you were stealthed). It also provides little protection from the myriad of ways to get around the smokescreen’s blind. These two effects weren’t tied together before the massive traits overhaul, but since then this has been a massive nerf to deception skill usage.

A suggestion from a different thread 6 months ago is that it triggers at 25% health rather than when downed. That way, the secondary effect retains it use without ruining the deception recharge portion. Regardless of whether this trait is changed to trigger at 25%, 20%, 10%, or overhauled, it’s time for this design flaw to change.

Thanks.
