Out of Combat Uses for Abilities Please (e.g. Vase Off and Shukuchi)

[Kaurie]

I'd like more uses for abilities outside of combat too. Though, I think they need more stuff in the world for this.

Example, jumping puzzles in Guild Wars 2 - these are great combat-free (mostly) open-world things you can do at your leisure. They're crazy fun and you can try using things like Swiftness (run faster) and Portal to help with the jumps.

WHAT DOES THE NINJA GAIN BY THROWING IT TO THE GROUND?!

Style points. Like Reno said, "It's flashy."

...That. is the OPPOSITE. Of a smokebomb.

You're getting mad at something trivial like the logic of smoke bombs in a game where birds the size of an obese whale can fly.

jumping puzzles are the best thing in gw2 , sadly when we asked SE to add something like that , we got.....VISTAS (Sightseeing Log).

No

A flying bird is a bird that flies, it flying is a feature.

The smokebomb has no feature.

No

A flying bird is a bird that flies, it flying is a feature.

The smokebomb has no feature.

The point is to be flashy, the point of a smoker bomb is to cause distraction.

And yet it doesn't do that in any capacity, so why is it thrown?

[AsteriaStarfall]

That would be OP and unfair to the other classes. I'm glad the game doesn't allow this.

But the game allows you to play ALL THE CLASSES on one toon......

Does the NIN throw a smoke bomb? I was under the impression from the lore during the quest where you obtain it that it's essentially you compressing space while moving instantly. The smoke is just the the air quickly filling in the space that you once occupied, creating a pressure blast. This was the explanation for X-men's Nightcrawler's "BAMPF" effect whenever he teleports and leaves purple explosions.
