Guild Wars 2

I think most people want to use Illusionary Leap as a gap closer but after using it for awhile, I’ve found that with the target in range requirement that you should instead use it while you are already close. It’s really good at keeping enemies from moving away just before you use Blurred Frenzy since you can’t move. I then use Swap after I dodge an attack to get right back to attacking them.

I’m not a fan of Mantra’s either. I think the consensus is that Mantra’s are only good if you trait for them and I think that is an indication of a design flaw.

I really like your suggestion but I don’t think it should replenish all charges out of combat. Also when compared to other skills, each charge is quite weak, its being able to use them when ever you want, whether its back to back or 10 sec later that makes them powerful, so I think gaining a charge every 20 sec should be the maximum.
