Guild Wars 2

This one is pretty out there
Maybe I’ve been playing too much tracer on Overwatch, and I just enjoy d/d on my thief
What if death blossom had a change where if u stand still it’s the regular deathblossom, but if you move while using it, you shadow step in the direction your moving for a short distance? This could help the d/d set with a bit more mobility offensively or defensively, help land hits like cnd and would just be fun to have dodged and shadow steps going all crazy on someone

D/D is kind choppy to use right now but so is s/d flanking strike.

lol. pistol whip is even more choppy. Flanking strike is pretty smooth imo. Depends on how you combo it.

@OP I don’t agree with a shadow step mechanic.

It’s been discussed over and over again. The problem with death blossom is that its uncontrollable. If it were just a straight line dash rather than the bounce, it could have a variety of uses, and help solve a problem that d/d has which is mobility.

Changing it to have function shadow step will just make it a battle between what’s better DB or SS between d/d and d/p. Where one set loses out solely because the other has better utility.

The worst part s if you click it right after you use it you cant change direction. And yes PW is very choppy. I want to take the stun out of the skill. It would be faster cleaner and look cooler in succession. But sadly noone uses PW as it isn’t very viable and doesn’t deal enough damage while being overly predictable causing a defensive sacrifice everytime you use it.
