Let it at cleanse movement-impairment (immobile, cripple, chill).

The cooldown and range feel too restrictive when it’s no longer a stun break.

It needs to be a stunbreak again is what it needs to be. And mist form and arcane shield need to be 50 sec cd. Same for armor of earth.

It is still one of the best utilities eles have. Other blinks should be more like LF, as the ability to reposition regardless of verticality is pretty much OP in this game.

Yeah, let’s give guardian melee trains even more power by nerfing the only survivability squishy classes have by nerfing their teleports to have no stunbreak.

Instead of changing the only usefull skil they should balance unused ones.
Who is using Water signet, arcane power, glyph of elemental power?
Did someone seriously used the flame axe?

Thoses abilities need way more a rework than the over used LF

It does not need an extra. Why would you already buff a great skill? It deals dmg, its cd is not that high, good mobility, nice and juicy. Like the one before me said : instead of changing already useful ones, devs should fix the glue-eating ones.

Nahh. Instead of changing Lightning Flash they could give us back old RTL and at least one build that is not stupid bunker boot

They should buff it to work like RTL, in that you get a reduced cd if you hit something with it. (die rabbit!)

I agree that there are lots of other skills that need more help than Lightning flash, but I too think it should have -something-. Whether that something is a stun break, 1200 range or a slightly lower cd (30s-ish). Maybe I’m just jealous of Blink and think the damage component of LF is near-negligible.

As far as “reposition vertically” How exactly does that work? I find I get hit with the inability to teleport on hilly terrain regardless of which I use. Is there something about LF that lets it bypass it better than others in some locations?

The damage is actually pretty decent on a zerk-ish build wherein it was meant to be used as an addition to a combo… but yeah, the meta has always forced us to play bunkerish wherein the damage is pretty negligible.

+1 on LF changes.
