Currently this breaks stealth as well as its cast if you dodge or blink which punishes you should you need to get out of a bad situation.

It would be great if it could work like Decoy or Mass Invisibility where it allows you to dodge in stealth while at the same time behaving like Mantras where it allows you to make instant casts like Power Spike while channeling Mantra of Recovery.

It would also be good if we could also use Blink while under the effects of its stealth which would make for some nice strategic placement options for the aoe burn

Torch n Scepter should be lots of things but they aren’t… let them both rot until devs wake up and make something worth everyones time.

Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.

You are mistaken about Prestige and Blink. I am a very heavy user of this combination and blink does not break stealth. Your character model looks as if it has broken stealth but that is a visual bug. The same thing happens if you blink while in any form of stealth.

The problem is we have no buff on the character to indicate that it is currently in stealth from Prestige and so unless we test it we have no way of knowing that we are still in stealth. Also note that the stealth lasts for 4s (entire cast duration) rather than the stated 3s in the description.

Are you using Prismatic Understanding?

IMO what needs to happen is The Prestige should be reverted to the Beta version where it did not need to be channelled, allowing you to dodge and cast defensive/healing spells through the stealth without breaking it.

I don’t know why they changed it from a perfectly fine and normal stealth skill to a channelled one that doesn’t let you do half the things people use stealth for (casting non-offensive skills).

No. And as far as I can tell Prestige is not your typical stealth skill, hence the reason there is no stealth buff that appears on you. Instead it appears as though stealth is granted while channeling and therefore not subject to any skills which grant bonus to stealth. I have run with and without Prismatic Understanding and saw no difference.

Remove the channel.
Expand the Blind aoe so that it matches the burn aoe (right now the blind AoE is melee range, half the radius of burn aoe).

Also make it summon Christian Bale.
