Guild Wars 2

His random spawn location actually cripples this phantasm. His CD is good, his attack speed is OK. What about making him a targeted ability so you can spawn him wherever you want. This promotes player skill.

Worse but still better is to make him spawn on us, so we can place him in a sense (synergy with stealth). What do you think?

reduce this skill in activation time to 1 / 2s, it would just, 1s Becomes annoying

i agree that the random spawn sux – i want to spawn him next to me to place him safe.

I think this could/should be brought to the next level for all phantasms.

Duelist spawns to your left, Mage spawns to your right, Warlock spawns behind you, Warden spawns closest to you but in range of your target, Swordsman spawns in front of you, Berserker spawns furthest from you but in range of your target.

Disenchanter and Shield spawn to your back left and back right. Defender spawns to your front left not in range of your target (to ensure buff application on spawn).

Of course, I’d actually prefer to just have a Phantasm trait (like Phantasmal Haste) also provide ground targeting so you could just spawn it where you prefer.

Or simply, all phantasms spawn directly at your position (except for warden / zerker).

The problem I find with that is that it leaves them open to be cleaved and also doesn’t assist them in surviving.
