My highest level character is a Mesmer, and lately I have been performing a support role in dungeon runs.
One of our strongest means of support is through our many Ethereal fields and the AoE Chaos Armor (CA) we can provide through them when they are combined either with Leap or Blast finishers.
Mesmers can self-combo off their fields with either their Phase Retreat (staff) or Illusionary Leap (sword) abilities, and it was through this that I noticed how difficult it was to apply CA to allies. I had to nearly stand on top of them to apply the effect. In fights where the effects are most crucial to apply, the group is probably at least somewhat spread out. Thus it makes it often only possible to apply the effect to one party member at a time, or two if I’m lucky.
Please consider increasing the radius of Leap finishers (and, perhaps, Blast finishers) so that players may more reliably use them to assist their group.
