Improved shadow step (Discussion)

Yes, there are lots of shadow step skills in Guild Wars, but all of them are either to an enemy, an ally, or random. What I was thinking was a skill which would allow you to shadow step to a a specific place. For example, you activate the skill and then the next place you click you would shadow step to. Of course there would be a max distance you could shadow step, but that would be determined by Anet.

There is one more option, if you keep your WASD keys control all the time. If ArenaNet make it possible to enter shadowstep(also called Stealth mode), to be a skill like enchantment, for short time, players will be able to have full control of the character.

Why this is a good idea
  •   This would make navigating terrain much easier/quicker (ex: down/up a cliff, across a chasm, just not having to run a certain distance)
  •   Getting out of a tight spot, if you are surrounded and just want to get away from the enemies
Why it may not work out
  • Spamming
  • May make certain runs too easy, or make it able to go places that would ruin the game (ex: in Ab's, getting into other teams bases)
  • For people who don't use the mouse it would be challenging moving your hand from the keyboard to the mouse just for this skill
Why it may not work out
  • Adding stealth mode in the game will make the creators to add also skills breaking stealth mode. Which means work on the builds of the most classes.
  • Some of the mobs will have to get brand new "stealth" breaking skills also.
