Ghillie Suit utility skill?

Never understood the lack of any real stealth on a ranger. As typically in reality a seen Army Ranger is often soon a dead Army Ranger. Not asking to be as exclusive as Thieves or anything, but a limited stealth would make sense. Maybe a better camoflage ability that only functions if the player remains still. So I came up with the idea for the Ghillie Suit utility skill! Hear that Anet? I want to become a bush! Possible example…

Ghillie Suit:
Description: Ranger assumes the form of random local foliage while immobile.
Duration: 15-20 seconds (based upon Wilderness Survival traitline?).
Cooldown: 30-90 seconds (again, possibly based upon Wilderness Survival traitline?).
Dis-spell: Upon moving, taking damage, or end skill duration.
Misc: Cannot be activated when already in combat.

The possible applications, and sheer fun and hilarity potential, of this skill I think are fantastic. Especially in places such as WvW.

that sounds pretty neat.

There’s a joke somewhere in there about Hunger Games and camouflaging as a rock, but its too early in the morning to try that hard…
