Skills:

False Oasis – Remove Vigor. Restore a flat 50% endurance amount on cast (25% in PvP). Reduce cast time from 3/4 to 1/2. Reduce cooldown to 25 seconds from 30.

Axes of Symmetry – Will now consistently place you at the same level as your target on the Z axis.

Illusionary Ambush – Will now consistently place you at the same level as your target on the Z axis.

Mirage Advance – Now breaks stun on initial cast. No longer requires line of sight.
(OR, the healthier thing for at least PvP and WvW. Require line of sight for: Steal, Infiltrator’s Signet, Infiltrator’s Strike, Judge’s Intervention. Symbol of Blades, Axes of Symmetry, and Illusionary Ambush. Including any other “Targeted” teleports/shadowsteps.)

Sand through glass – Changed cooldown to charge system. 2 charges Count recharge 30 seconds.

Jaunt – Range increased to 600.

Split Surge – Damage coefficient increased to 2.2. No longer counts as “Spatial Surge” with Imagined Burden, and instead stacks cripple per hit. (currently only puts one stack of_ might)

Traits:

Self-Deception – Will now create a clone as long as you do not have 3 illusions active.

Nomad’s Endurance – Now adds an additional attribute adjustment of 150 to power.

Shards of Glass – (PvE Only) Reformed mirror cooldown reduced to 10 seconds from 20.

There is probably more that could be done, and in all honesty I’m pretty happy with the amount of mobility we got, But we do at least need good and consistent spike on power builds regardless of range in PvE and PvP, and since power synergizes better with greatsword, it makes sense to buff that ambush in a way that utilizes the core trait of the weapon, as well as it’s base power.

The most important one of these suggestions is the change to split surge and second being Jaunt.

Mirage Advance should follow the standard regardless of which way the the standard is decided to go.

Axes of Symmetry and Illusionary Ambush just need polish.

“I control time and space; you can’t break free.~”
“Maybe I was the illusion all along!”
