Skill that allows you to hide underwater

[OtsukiYorauzo]

I personally asked the devs( jorb, specifically) if being able to submerge into the water would be a good skill to add on in the game.
I created this thread because I want to know what you guys would like to say about it.

you guys had the tall grass patches, and the trip root lol. I liked the idea behind the tall grass, if you could hide in it. Though i dont ever remember it working like that. Just to add to the whole hiding thing.

having around 150 Perception could also null the ability to hide under the tall grass, since you know, its like sharingan level

What does this add to the game? What use does it have?

it gives you a chance to hide for a few seconds.

basically that sentence explains everything, I guess.
If you want a more detailed explanation let me give you a scenario.

You are being chased by a group of rapist. You are low on stamina but you don't want to be killed and you want to go to your hearth fire.
You hide under the water, but since you have no stamina left you lose health very quickly, but before you die of asphyxia you return to the surface( imagine being on the shallow waters).
You successfully lost the group, but sooner or later they'll find you once again if you don't make a move.
(You can swim while submerged, but it will drain your health real quick- NOT ADVISABLE, also swimming underwater still leaves a trail)

[In order to make it fair those who aggroed first are unable to perform this skill, since it is basically for a flight response. However, if the victim fights back, he will not be able to execute this skill.]

Obviously the devs wouldn't make the duration of the skill longer than 20 seconds.
Hafen is a survival game, and in order to survive you either run or hide.

I hate this idea, and your scenario only deepened my dislike. Sorry, but -1. If you have time to duck under the water and asphyx yourself then you would of had time to just hearth home. Or are you suggesting that ducking under water just instantly breaks combat? And even if it did they would have seen you do so, and just wait for you to come up. How do you imagine this ever actually helping someone get away?

May the gods find other means of improving this idea.
Thank you for the critiques.
