Convert it to “Smoke Pillar” make it a pillar instead of a wall.
Make it ground target, 900 range.
Same radius of Shadow Refuge.

Cylinders are much easier to counter than rectangles.

Could you explain why?

Smoke screen is not counterable. You can just avoid it.
A circle would just have a greater area, and being GT can let you put it where you want (e.g. on downed ppl) and use a defensive skill in a more aggressive way

Ground Targeted, completely agree with you. Great improvement.

I still think it’s easier to around a cylinder than a rectangle. I mean, the opponent can go through it and that’s it. If anything

Nvm, I was blinded : SAME RADIUS AS SR??? that’s huge mate.

Actually as I think about it, it sounds like a good idea. If it blocks projectiles and prevents ground Target (you shouldn’t be able to aoe a place you cannot see, just like some siege weapons), then it could potential be a great substitute for Shadow Refuge.

Given its recharge this doesn’t seem like an awful idea.

Be a crazy amount of blind sustain if you kicked off daggerstorm in there, a much bigger target for you and allies to burst it for stealth, etc.

Another insane idea:

What if it lost the combo field and in stead reflected back blinding projectiles using the new projectile conversion tech the druid has.

Or, another crazy notion:

What if it was a channel behind you like the rev’s sticky reflect wall in front, and lasted longer since you have to channel it?
