New swap utility
A semi controllable illusion swap wouldn’t really provide much value. You wouldn’t be able to choose the Illusion you swap with because there are no ally targeted skills in GW2.
We have one. The second part of Illusionary Leap is, literally, Swap. As to wanting to be somewhere specific, we have Blink. I can’t think of a reason why we would need this as a utility.
Hmmm…
If it was a manipulation and we could choose which illusions to swap with trough ground trgetijg and if it breaked stun then maybe i would choose ghis as my 3rd utility in a build where i have master of manipulation… Maybe though. Usually i put portal in my 3rd slot or something else inreally like.
If this skill stealthed us for 2 seconds i would put it in my stealth buikd for sure. But the cooldown would have to be abouts 45.
TL;DR: add stealth, ability to choose which illusion to seap with, stunbreaking and a manipulation fact, and id consider using it!

Waste of utility slot. Im happy with Decoy/MI/Blink thank you.
It’d be great. Run up to a keep with cannons, cast a phantasm on it like iWarden or iBerzerker, swap places, and voilla, you’re inside and free to portal all your merry friends in.
In reality, the restrictions placed on a ‘swap’ utility would be stupid.
Anet should really work on making the utilities we have now work correctly or even better. For example, since warriors got endure pain dropped from 90s to 60s, I think it’s only fair that portal be brought down to 60s recharge too and possibly made a Manipulation so it can benefit from the 20% reduction.
Ive always said we should have an ability called shuffle! But i imagine it as more of an elite, that created 3 clones and instantly randomly shuffled you to one of their places. I dont know why we have no clone elites.
