Hi fellow mesmers
I am a mesmer player myself
I may not be the best at balancing (well im noob) ><
I kinda thought maybe we could get a little more on our shatters (f1-f4) skills because to me they seem to be lacking a bit in terms of everyother classes (f1-f4) skills

i love the mesmer and kinda thought we could have a passive effect on our shatters in a sense that shatters work when clones die, but the passive would grant an effect (small) when clones are generated

i had an idea that maybe the passives could be something like
f1 passive (sprawning an illusion or (strictly clones to limit it) deals x dmg in a small aoe (small weak dmg )
f2 ^same as above cept heals x to yourself (small weak heal)
f3 ^ same as above cept applies a random boon to self (lasts x seconds) like 1-2 secs
f4 ^ same as above cept applies a random debuff (last x seconds) like 1-2 secs
i just thought this would kind of make it more fun to summon and shatter an illusion where summoning u get a little reward and shattering u get the bigger reward
(of course once shatter (active) passive goes on cd like active)

though yeah i don’t know much about balance so could be op :-I

If you’re expecting them to work like Signets, where the passive effect is lost when the Shatter is used, then no. We don’t need yet another reason to avoid using Shatters. If the passive effect is not lost upon Shattering then what’s the point of tying them to Shatters at all?
