Mesmer Trait Review [Video Commentary]
I pretty much agree with everything you said. However, the Staff Mastery in the Chaos tree is all about the 20% cooldown, not the +50 Toughness. That 20% stacks with the 5pt minor trait in our last tree. You can use Phase Retreat (staff 2) on a 5 second timer. Also the dodge illusion summon from the Duelist tree is amazing when used while stealthed.
One thing I would have added is explaining some of the more vague things. For example what is +Malice on the Scepter Mastery and things of that nature. You did a great job of pointing out some of the fun combos between trees that aren’t readily noticed.
I think the strong dislike of signets/mantras is because our other utility skills are so much better. Also Mantras are way underpowered at this time.
Your sneak peek of that upcoming video brings to mind two things:
1. It looks great! Nice effects. Can’t wait for the “big reveal.”
2. All those numbers (particularly the big ones) is going to make the Mesmer seem more OP which can lead to people crying nerf.
