I almost feel as if THIS is what the mesmer should have been, instead of spawning clones, and using stealth, it should be a pseudo-condition applied to its target that can cause a variety of status effects on a target such as:
- Seeing multiple of the same target (not clones, just the person with the condition will see it as well. can target and attack them as normal)
- May cause the target to see allies as enemies (works on both AI and human players!)
- May see other creatures appear and disappear
- May see fake conditions and boons being applied to themselves or their target
Having a mesmer put a hallucination on a target in the middle of a zerg and see them freak out and think they are surrounded by enemies….lol
impossible to balance, but fun as hell to think about at any rate :P
