So I decided NOT to state that this would be a suggestion regarding mesmers in the title because it would have people skip/troll this alot more than if it didn’t (or at least I hope).
Anyways, here goes.
My suggestion would be to completely remove stealth from mesmer. OK NOW HEAR ME OUT. My suggested tweaks would be as follows:
Lets start with the utilities/weapon skills:
The Prestige: Have it blind for 3 seconds. If the target misses an attack because of this blind, the mesmer gets 10 seconds of fury and the target takes 3 stacks of burn for 5 seconds.
Decoy: Have it go from a stealth to a dodge roll. This dodge roll also summons a clone that dazes if it is killed. If the clone is left alone, it’ll run forward after a set duration and shatter on its own dealing the equivalent of the mesmer shattering alone without burning mind wrack’s CD. I especially liked this one because the daze goes hand in hand with alot of traits as well, so proper use would be amazing for the player.
Mass Invisibility: Cut the cast time in half and have it apply 3 seconds of distortion to all allies effected by the skill.
As for traits related to stealth:
Desperate Decoy: Same as decoy.
The Pledge: Torch skills remove conditions. Torch skills have reduced recharge while the target is burning (5-10% CD reduction for every second of burning).
Prismatic Understanding: Here it is. The behemoth. The BMOC. Caused enough salt to turn your average human being’s blood stream into the dead sea. Replace stealth with distortion and bam, I think we’d be good.
Thoughts?
