Guild Wars 2

I can’t find it in the lists for the revamp anywhere!

Please tell me I just missed it.

It’s really become a large part of my defenses and offensive support, I can’ t believe it’s gone just like that! Has it at least been rolled into another trait?

Dazzling glamours is gone, yes. That being said…how on earth can that be a large part of your defenses. A blind every 35 seconds?

It proved itself well with both Feedback and Null Field, it alone has allowed me to keep a fight going forever against multiple people.

However, it really takes some precise timing. For example, I’ve went a match when I managed to multi-blind a persistant thief trying to grab Svanir and in the second blind I hit him with a Sword swap and immob’d him just for the boss to down him.

Basically, I’ve just really been able to make it work for me so I’m sad to see it cut like that :/

I’m sure they didn’t quite remove it yet because they never mentioned it.

For one thing it could Baseline since they wanted glamours to be defensive.

I’d take it but I wouldn’t hold my breath. It is more likely that Chronomancers will get the CC and offensive area effects.

Yeah something like what dazzling was may end up in the new specialization trait line.

I was sad to see it go unmentioned as it’s an important piece of my primary PvP build. The AoE blinds coupled with other defenses can be very effective. Cool to see another person using this actually.

OP – curious as to your build if you want to share. If not, feel free to PM me.

I found it only to be helpful when paired with Medic’s Feedback, NullField Mercy Runes, PU and Temporal Enchantment. Troll Rezbot Mesmer!!

They completely got rid of glamours’s zerg potential memories, kind of sad I had hopes of a comeback so GWEM can happen.

Glamours would outperform wells. Necros would still be there but mesmer would dominate them, blind+confusion+glamour effects(reflects,boon removal etc)+ethereal combo field were a better combination then drop wells. Condition mesmers in zerg…great sight.

If it makes a comeback with the elite spec I will have mix feelings it’s not innovative and they killed it for normal mesmers to give a necro a shelter.

Wow! Nice to see this thread getting some views :P

@skcamow: Here’s my build:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fhAQRAsc8dnsISjaWqGuqB1aIR1QObxhoLLpCUyOlA-TJBBABA8AAEc/hNOJAgVGAA

It’s a pretty standard phantasm build with some tweaks. Initially , I made it more for flavor since I like phantasms and Swords+Focus looks-wise, but it then turned out that it’s been working pretty well for me as a supportive spec. It pairs best if I have at least one damage dealer who’ll roam with me or in large group fights as the glamours do some really useful effects along with Time Warp and my two big Phantasms do some great damage on their own.

On top of that, I pop in every so often with my sword mainhand, especially if their focusing someone. The sword #3 is wonderful for letting everyone else burst down a pesky thief or other mesmer. In a pinch, the spec is also highly tanky and I’ve managed to hold down a point 2V1 while help arrived (though obviously, it doesn’t manage kills…sometimes).

Anyway, I do hope they rolled in the blind as baseline. One thing I did notice when going through the new traits is that nearly all my favorite traits were either within three lines or already merged! In fact, I’d wager my phantasm-y ways are only gonna be stronger!

P.S.: I also like this game for the phantasms due to being a poor gamer who has an old laptop. The Phantasms on my Mesmer and Minions on Necro allow me to play without worrying about the lag from my 7 year old machine! ^^

I’ll eat my imaginary butterflies if the Chrono line doesn’t have some kind of interaction with Glamours.
