Suggestion: PVP "Use Window" feature

I had an idea for the useless, purely decorative windows in Keep curtain walls, corner pushouts, and postern houses: make a "Use Window" similar to how siege engines are used. Each window would be a position, and approaching an unused one would display the option to use it. Choosing the option would put the player into first-person view, looking through the window. There would be a 90-degree cone of fire, and all ranged abilities could be used at enemies inside that cone. Weapon swap would be enabled, so players could access abilities on both bars without "exiting" the window. Defensively, being in that position should make you at least partially vulnerable to enemy attacks, but it should provide a high level of protection, such as a 75% dodge chance vs. single-target abilities (e.g. Snipe, Crushing Shock).

This would make postern houses from keep upgrades particularly useful, as it would be an excellent firing position for archers on the walls.

Edit: not all ranged abilities. For example, Wall of Elements should not work. Perhaps Destructive Reach/Clench shouldn't either, just because the animation doesn't look like something one would be able to fire through a window. Not sure about Volley, but all other bow abilities should. Gap closers are right out, but hidden blade should work. It would most likely be a case-by-case analysis of each skill to determine which ones should.
