Guild Wars 2

I’ll make it short:

I think the Magnet skill (in the Tool Kit) should be more visible. It is between all the explosions and shiny effects in a fight often barely visible.

I disagree! It is not that hard to see and is easily dodgeable since it has a 1 sec cast time. That’s why most engies including myself. Usually use the skill then weapon swap before it activates(so not to trigger the CD), and the enemy wastes a dodge.

Maybe I am blind, but especially when the engi is behind me and uses the pull, I often than not don’t see the the skill animation.

Then how would a better visibility of the skill help you see it if he’s behind you? You can’t see anything anyway.

You can hide it completely by being stealthed.
You can hide most of it, except the very first part, by casting and quickly swapping to another kit.

Normally is highly visible in 1v1s and 2v2s. In team fights people end up eating pindowns so extra visibility wouldn’t help there anyway.

You can also hide it pretty well by using it on the lower end of a hill, stairs, or other terrain, then moving above the obstruction as the cast finishes. Other obstructions can be used as well, but are much more hit or miss.
