As a main mesmer, i was always envious to those mesmers we saw when we played the storyline with their abilitys – be it a charr that tricks you into thinking your teammates are enemys you have to slay or may it be a undead mesmer that let’s you party with a bunch of zombys without knowing they are undead (i hope nobody made out with one of them in that mission…)
I wish my mesmer could do the same, that’s why i tought, what would happen that i could do that?
Clearly it’s hypnosis – but how to do that?
I found a solution – an obvious one! Use a mace! (yeah, maybe not obvious for everybody, but for mesmers, that use greatswords as range weapon)
When you swing a mace like a pocket watch, hypnosis would work great!
(see picture below)
As animation, swinging it from right to left and via versa with some expanding rings that use the invisibility-effect for disorting the mind.
Possible attacks;
1 hit with a mace
2 trow mace in a mini portal that opens behind the enemy and hit’s him on the head
3 mace flys off and hit’s the enemy multiple times as range attack (anybody knows the fairytale of “Cudgel in the Sack”?)
4 hypnosis animation, the enemy becomes an ally for a few seconds (would be fun in PvE and spice up PvP a lot, specially if the opponent doesn’t look at the enemys and just attacks red texts)
5 similar animation to hypnosis, but this time the mace makes compleat cyrcles and the mesmer becomes invissible (longer casting time as torch, but also longer invisibility)
Also for the 6-0 some ideas
6 self hypnosis – damage becomes healing for a short amount of time
7 & 8 turining enemys in moa is fun, but i want to turn myself into little animals as well, like a charr mesmer out of a story, one animal makes me invulnerable (multiple chickens at the same place) and the other animal transformation attacks (scorpions, spiders, baby griffins – just pick a nice miniature animation and make it a flock)
0 making a (evil) copy of the enemy that attacks itself (or breaks the cc-bar in case of a boss)
