Guild Wars 2

I just logged on my mesmer and didn’t see the trait. Checked the wiki and it confirmed that it was removed. When I was playing in PvP I thought the shatter affect was around me too, so I thought maybe it was automatic now. I tried searching this forum, but the search bar says no results found – it says that also, if you type in mesmer.

Yes it is baseline (rolled in)

illusionary persona is baseline, no traits needed anymore

Correct: Illusionary Persona is rolled in now.

and

AND!

Illusionary Elasticity is rolled in!

It’s pretty sweet.

You might want to take some time to read through all the changes in the game release notes thread:

There’s a lot to take in.

Thank you. Believe it or not, I have and and I can’t find it mentioned, I even used my browser’s search on page and came up empty for the word persona. I’m glad that’s it rolled in, but where is this stuff mentioned?

It doesn’t say “persona” in the thread. The actual line is:

“•Using any shatter skill now creates the shatter effect on you as well by default’

If you scroll down about halfway into that thread you’ll find Mesmer changes just before necromancer.

I do feel there need to be more clarity about that for new mesmer, wouldn’t be surprised if basically any new mesmer from now on dont even realise you make the shatter effect on yourself as well, it is literally not stated ANYWHERE.

Sure it all cool and dandy right now where you can refer to some patch notes a few weeks ago, but wht about in a year or 2? do you think ppl are gonna read year old patchnotes to figure out base mechanics of a class?

I agree – specific class changes should be in an in game mail the first time you log on to a character of a particular class post patch.

nah not a mail need to be somewhere part of the UI, as it is not just as i said now, but for any new players 2-3 years down the line, all the info about how its class abilities work need to be there (best would properly be to put it into all 4 shatters tooltips)
