Guild Wars 2

Seeing as it appears some traits will be combined, I’m wondering where we thing this will hit mesmers.

Manipulations: merging far-reaching and cooldowns. Hope this stays in Dueling or else shatter builds can’t take it.

Glamour’s: would be nice to see cool down and long-lasting combined. No problems here.

Mantras: lots of potential reworks here. Thoughts?

Anyway, I’m sure there are others. Hopefully this will provide QoL changes and keep the traits in appropriate lines.

Dueling already has mantras, so if manipulations would be merged they would likely be in chaos.

Glamour mastery and temporal enchanter will likely be merged. (based off of the new cantrip mastery or vital striking aquamancer merge). Shattered conditions & vigour on shatter will probably get merged. Or heal on shatter.

Traits like halting strike could be merged with power block or confounding suggestions for a new grandmaster. Or maybe power block/confounding into 1 trait. Illusion of vulnerability/halting strike could be another combo. Halting BLOCK!

Clone death traits could maybe go for a merge. Even though in 3 different traitlines, I think this will happen.

Mantras… 3 charges and shorter CD into one? Seems like a decent mantra mastery. 4% more damage per mantra is a good PvE choice but boring trait. I hope it just gets buffed some other way. Restorative mantra and disrupters sustainment; I want this combo to work somehow with a mantra build that interrupts while charging other mantras. Currently, the base heal is too strong and scaling too weak though. Since stability has been changed, maybe a rework or buff to protected mantras to give it stability. So a bunker that gains armor/stability while charging mantras. Heals after charging mantras and if interrupting while charging (F3/MoD) will get a bigger burst heal.
