Will you please change Deception?
Also, world peace. Or you can forget them both!
Actually sometimes due to range limitations I probably don’t teleport into aoe’s and danger I’d otherwise land in. So if you could increase the potential teleport distance to 1200, I should be sure to die every single time.
Thanks.
I would love a change to this as well. I do find that it often has me in a more dangerous/sure to die location than if I just didn’t bother to use this at all. It definitely needs more than just a range increase. ideally…the ability to target your destination would be perfect…just like blink. All they would need to do is clone the blink skill for that function.
as if it wasn’t harsh enough on us pre-hot pve and general pvp/wvw, this new pve “challenging group content” is just making me not want to ever use it and it’s pretty annoying
The problem with making Deception targetable is it then becomes too good compared to the Thief, which has one teleport and one stealth while Mesmer has both in one package on top of conjuring a Clone.

This.
I hate it but I don’t think they’ll ever change this skill. If they do they will give it some really really crappy range.
Yep as a Mesmer for 3 years I have stopped using this skill. Not only does it hardly ever save your life but teleporting 5-10 feet away & still getting hit by the same stomp they started before you used the skill is the most infuriating thing I have found in this game.

Considering that they’ve nerfed Confusion so our downed attack sucks, I’m all for letting us pick where we teleport to.

You’re complaining about it in PvP? Mesmers have arguably among the best stomp interrupter for PvP. Just time it right and you shouldn’t have to worry about stomps since those fail if you’re stealth end, doesn’t matter if you move closer. Only Ele and Thief can compete with that; and Thief is counter able by a teleport skill (Blink, Stea, etc).
The issue is with it throwing you into a worse situation in PvE. It’s quite the gamble.
