Guild Wars 2

With the new elite spec incoming, we get a skill reset on F5.

Now think about it: sword/focus & sword/shield, with warden feedback and glamour increased duration:

focus4/5 – 1st reflect
shield4 – 2rd reflect
feedback – 3reflect
F5
focus4/5 – 4reflect
shield4 – 5th reflect
feedback – 6th reflect

In dungeons we’ll be able to upkeep immense reflection uptime and we get another weapon with an additional reflect.

I guess shield will not only be for pvp. Actually, having access to double timewarp will make mesmers very well wanted in dungeons.

What do you think? Discuss

We don’t know if shield will have a trait to reflect attacs, they only said it’ll absorb projectiles.

And F5 only resets skills you use during its duration.

Let’s say it lasts 1 second per clone and that it works with IP and that IP is baseline. You need to ramp-up 3 illusions, F5, use for example iWarden, wait for it to end it’s attack… and F5 effect will be gone, you’ll be able to use iWarden again, but nothing else.

The thing I’m most excited about is the reflect-on-dodge trait. 1.5 seconds may sound like it’s very short, but I’m pretty sure it can make a difference when fighting Rangers or other classes.

Concerning group/support reflects, yeah. There’s a good chance we will get a reflect-trait for shield.
Don’t get your hopes to high though. We still don’t know anything about the other specializations. Maybe the Guardian will become a Mirrormancer :0.

The reflect on dodge is crazy vs engineer rifle.

I’m no PvE hero, but why wouldn’t shield be amazing for pve? You precast the shield, allies get quickness and then you swap weapons to do the i-warden spam. Seems pretty strong to me.

Mesmers already had permanent reflect uptime. Now its even easier.
