Guild Wars 2

The idea is mostly unformed and perhaps a bit under-tuned but I think I like it as a Sneak Gyro replacement:

Spotlight Gyro:

Pulse: 1 second blind
Pulse: 1 second reveal
Pulse: 2 stacks of 3 second vulnerability

• Insert more PvE-centrinc effect here. *

Concealing Exhaust:

4 seconds of AoE stealth + Dark Field.

Thoughts?

Nah, reveal just has to be a toolbelt skill

I disagree. Thieves are barely a danger to us and Pu Mesmer stealth clearly needs a re-work.

Such an aggressive access to reveal seems unnecessary especially in light of the fact that we already have a trait and a skill that apply it.

While I agree with you on several points, I’m actually pretty pleased with Stealth Gyro, it has a lot of potential I think and not sure it needs an overhaul. At least until it’s tested. Just requires a bit more tactical thinking than we’re used to, thanks in part to the zerging. The visible gyro could be used to the team or solo players advantage, potentially. It’s essentially the thief shadow refuge but mobile. Everyone can see that skill too, but it can be used tactically and hasn’t been rendered useless by visibility.

The drone being targettable in PvE could be an issue, tho I still think it could be used to distract mobs.

Your point about the reveal is valid tho I think. It could be pretty much easy mode against stealthers.
