Guild Wars 2

Hi
Thief Trait VII (Improvisation) of Deadly Arts is supposed to recharge all skills of one type while stealing.
However it randomly picks one type among all types where it should grab one from types actually enabled by the character.
As a consequence, it often does NOTHING.
We are talking about a Master trait here, I can’t believe it is supposed to be so useless.

Kind regards

Pretty sure that is working as intended.
If it only picked from the ones equipped you can just equip one type and then it becomes a bit too good. It would also make Quick Venoms which is in the same slot obsolete.

If it only picked from the types on your bar it would need additional drawback, something like “50% chance of this happening”. Right now if you equip just one type it has a 20% chance of doing something. Not that great but given the name it looks like the intent is for the user to equip multiple types of skills.

This works as intended. Improvisation is best used with many types of utilities to increase your chances of recharging a skill.

I’ve done 3 Shadow Refuges chain stealth with improvisation before. It’s a bit of a gamble to have this trait.

so yes, pure gambling, its place is definitely in the first trait tiers, not master

anyway thanks for your explanations
