Guild Wars 2

I know I’m not alone when I say “I feel like this skill is unresponsive” and it’s been talked about to lengths. It has been stated before that any issues with it are caused by patching problems, so I suggest something that would cause less problems.

Balance wise I don’t know how broken this would be but considering how hard it is to chase not to mentions our crappy out of combat mobility this may be suitable.

I suggest initial leap of the character causing a snare and dropping the cripple all together being an instant effect, (though telegraphed and doge able) however dropping a clone at your original location and swap working to swap places with your farthest clone (or phantasm)

I know retaliation builds like immortal Mesmer would hate this xD but what are your thoughts on this?

(Prob lots of errors posted via iPhone)

Aside from how it would be removing a massive amount of utility from the current one, this would also be a really clunky mechanic, most likely extremely hard to code, most likely extremely subject to teleport glitches, and most likely extremely difficult to control.

Since clones and phantasms are often moving, it would be nearly impossible to control where you were going. Using the swap would basically be a teleport in a random direction with no control.

Additionally, this would remove the fantastic gap closing abilities than mainhand sword has.

TL;DR: No.

yea its really great the 2 out of 10 times it workes

Illusionary Vanguard:
Summon an illusion next to your target, crippling them. After it’s summoned, the clone will execute the Mind Slash sword chain.

Damage: 1
Crippled: 1 s
Vulnerability: 5 s
Range: 600

Swap:
Swap locations with your clone. Immobilize its target.

Immobilized: 2 s
Combo Finisher: Leap
Range: 600

Removed the possible pathing issues, removed the first Leap Finisher and made the Immobilized single-target to compensate for the improved activation time.
