Shattered Kingdoms

Fat chance in hell in a large pvp, that everyone is ever going to be all up at the same time.

If prone people cannot be rescued, this skill becomes almost useless in group pk. If you are in a situation where you need to flee, someone is almost guaranteed to be prone on your at any given time. This is a huge wimp to their skillset. There are already merc skills which no one uses because they dont make enough difference like blitzkrieg, whens the last time you saw anyone use that?

I see retreat as one of the few reasons to play a merc over a barb. If it didnt work effectively why would I choose not having counterstrike, blindfighting for those dirt kicks, wild fighting for being disarmed, and fury for practically every weapon around instead of spec. Sure spec is on all the time, but with new prone changes you have a much greater chance to berserk and thus a greater chance for fury to come into play.

Wimping retreat would I just dont feel is a good idea at all.
