Guild Wars 2

So I was watching the Mr Prometheus Mesmer guide (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6s-m1Hs_M0 – part 3), and he made a comment about how Mass Invisibility is a bit redundant (mesmers have veil, why is this elite needed), and how mimic/echo as a group of skills is a bit (severely) underwhelming. Why not take out mass invisibility, and change Mimic/Echo to an elite that absorbs multiple projectiles and shoots them back? Not only would that be awesome, but it would be unique, powerful (fitting of its elite status), and very mesmer-esque.

Anyone else agree?

I want to say mimic got nerfed very early on- I was not playing a mesmer then so not positive. I think you could grab huge projectiles in wvw.. like the cannons/ catas and such and throw them back so that got changed.. guess it kinda sucks now? I have never tried it personally

I also thought Mass invisibility was redundant with veil but I prefer the mass invisibility because you just cast it no running through a line.

Indeed.

While Mass Invisibility and Veil may be redundant in their effects and purpose, MI allows much more convenient stealth in group situations like wvw where you may not have a group coordinated enough to use veil properly.

I’ve taken a liking to MI over Time Warp in wvw lately, and don’t miss kitten all.
