Guild Wars 2

Hey all, thought I’d ask the mesmer community (doing some build-crafting), on whose critical chance affects shatter? Is it the illusion’s (who might be templated off the mesmser?) so that you need to apply fury to each illusion to increase crit chance? Or is it the mesmer’s so fury on illusions doesn’t matter. Or is it… BOTH (I highly doubt it but imagine the awesome if such was the case)?

Shatter is a skill that is based from your character. Your critical chance/damage/etc are the stats used for shatters.

alright, got it, thanks. hmm.. I suppose I can still tinker with bleed on illusion crits, although I do think I remember hearing about this type of build before.. anyone know offhand how many stacks of bleed you can get on someone (in theory)?

Edit: well… from the wiki: “Illusions derive their precision, power, condition damage, critical damage, armor, and healing directly from the mesmer’s attributes”
So… they might appear to be the same thing? Has any actual testing been done regarding fury?

isnt it only fury on phantasms. not illusions. maybe i missed something.

yeah, and from just personal experience, the crit chance of any illusions is the same as the mesmer (not including fury on either the mesmer or phantasms), i suspect the same is true for power too, but that’s hard to tell due to phantasms attacks having their own base damage.

Underwater, with trident, you can get 25 stacks of bleed.

With a staff, non traited for extra bounce, without a sigil of earth, and 3 staff illusions, it’s 12-14?

I wish we got fury from shatters…. Some days I may take that over the current shattered strength… :/
