[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 6311339, member: 87792"] [B]Stop ignoring the rules or pretending they say something else.[/B] The Eladrin doesn't need five minutes to recharge. He needs five minutes [I]resting[/I] to recharge. That's resting as in not looking down the gunsights or carefully watching the area he is supposed to be covering. And resting as in not taking return fire and needing to make sure they don't have a bead on you So. Five minutes after the Sniper stops trying to snipe and instead opens their packed lunch or MREs they can teleport 30'. W00t! Especially if they aren't in a [URL="http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2014/feb/19/sniper-camouflage-simon-menner"]proper sniper blind[/URL]. Yes, it's a useful trick - but it's just a single trick. And I'd be surprised if a sniper given the time and space with which to rest couldn't be 30' away from where they started. Now I fully accept that trying to invade an Eladrin city and hold it by force without trying to raze it to the ground is going to be a nightmare - but trying to hold armed, hostile cities by force is always a nightmare.

They might have moved 30' without us spotting them - when no other master of camouflage would ever have thought of changing their position ever." [/QUOTE]
