Guild Wars 2

… I don’t like how illusionary leap puts the clone at a random position next to the foe (they probably just copied and pasted the spawning behavior of the warden).

The way it was, the clone would appear next to you, but after its leap, would end up between you and the targeted foe: always.

Maybe it only takes time to get used to it, but I find it really weird and unpredictable.

It is weird and it’ll take some getting used to, but it is a lot more reliable on different elevations just from my preliminary testing. Used it to teleport around corners a few times when enemy tries to LoS me. I am noticing a weird change though. Before, when teleporting to your opponent with the switch, you’d be facing them, now you just keep facing the direction you were originally facing. Only noticed it like once or twice so not sure if it is actually a bug or if it was just me pressing tab too many times or something.

It is a bit awkward to get used to – especially the new rhythm.

Several times I’ve misjudged not only where but how fast the clone spawns and shattered it before being able to swap, leading to wasted burst.

While a little better than the previous pathing issues, I still think ileap needs further improvement in the future.

Yeah agreed, needs a bit of work. Distance between you & the leap needs ajustments to.

Definitely needs some adjustment. I’ve had the problem where it won’t spawn directly next to player, but a few “feet” away and when I swap it still locks the opponent but I won’t be adjacent to him and sometimes I’ll be facing away from them if they moved laterally at all. I’ve wasted a few bursts and its made me jump back to staff for now.

Maybe im just unlucky, or maybe i just suck with iLeap.. But this new change has got me pulling the root of my hair out. It miss its target so much, and have you facing a completely different direction to the target when it actually works. Not to mention the instant cooldown if the target happen to be out of reach, or if you click to fast it wont even appear.
