Guild Wars 2

For starters, I really miss the mechanics of mesmer from Guild Wars1, because in Guild Wars 2 is different, it is based on illusions, then I’ve been thinking a lot, I have had many brainstorming. I’ve been analyzing and comparing what is the closest thing between both games. The Mesmer needs that role he had in Guild Wars 1, torment and confound his enemies, deceiving.

So, was a specialization that focuses on the mechanics (from Guild Wars 1), but adapting it in Guild Wars 2, but I wonder happened How can this be possible with the mechanics of Mesmer Guild Wars 2? Well, the secret is in Stealth and the Phantasm the mesmer have access to these skills, but they are not exploited, or at least have no synergy with the traits.

Then I wondered, missing nothing more, that detail that makes it special and unique is a new condition for the Mesmer. Do you remember the skill Wastrel’s DemiseDemise ? Well, that was the ability that made him special to mesmer on Guild Wars 1.

So has occurred to me this new idea of specialization, based on the mechanics, but with ghosts, Damage Conditions and Stealth .Also in good synergies with traits that bolster the conditions, the mesmer inflict only 2 easy cleaning conditions, confusion and torment.

“…The harlequin consists on deception and the phantasm of shadows, bewitch and confusing the enemies, inflicting nightmare and hexing. Is a Joker with multiple smiling faces, acting as if in a theater but on the combat. He worship the goddess Lyssa, so she have multiple faces like she…”

The formula for “hexed” damage is:
(0.45 * Condition Damage) + (0.18 * level) + 1.5 damage per stack per second while using skill or attack.
