Guild Wars 2

I really thing Shadow flare warrants being a field that can be used by Finishers. It would make an ideal DARK field given it called shadow magic and would help to create some interesting synergies.

Rifle has a leap that might use it as well.

I just dont c it being that good given leap costs like 5 ini and flare lasts for only 4 secs, ur almost better off just using the tp function flare has, unless u want to use the leap after u flare (idk if stealth would activate when u leap out of the flare, normally u have to be charging towards in it no?)

I wanted to make a thread about that skill ^^

I would like it to be an aoe reveal on landing. It fits the theme and it would provide the first enemy reveal for thief…

It would also gives Deadeye a counter to DrD.

The field adds to team play as you can apply it at range and give access to others to achieve DARK field combo’s.

Added to that it would work nicely if in rifle closeup. Use shadowflare at your feet and if in rifle use deaths retreat. You apply the blind as well. For non rifle play , throw the flare at range , port to the taregt and then begin your leap attack in the field for added blind.

The INI cost is really a non factor as generally you are not using a field just to proc an effect. You use it in conjunction with an attack you would use in any case and yes, If you start inside a field with a leap, or leap through or into a field with a leap, the effect is procced.

BTW this would not apply stealth on leap it would be blind. Thief has three leaps they can use themselves that beind deaths retreat, HS and Vault. I can see a D/D theif making use of this , blinding an enemy via a heartseeker.

A “new field” which had as one of its abilities an AOE reveal on a leap would be interesting but there so many reveals I am not sure it will help the thief a lot in the long run unless that field type remained very exclusve to thief.

I ‘m not talking about reveal field, just plain and simple reveal. I just didn’t want to create a separate thread for the same utility

Shadow Swap to Shadow Gust is fun on walls and stuff but you might as well strap on a suicide vest because it’s maybe 50/50 against anyone still awake. A field would be something to bounce in and out of and 30 sec isn’t a bad cool down to set up for pushes and all that. Shadow Gust is a high cool down for how dangerous it is and they’ll probably soak it all up anyway, it was more of a “there’s the zerg no one bothered to call out” utility but if you got some major plot armor you can Swap in, Gust, and Retreat out for a cool looking play that’s probably not worth it.
