So, did anyone test out a S+S mirage power build this past weekend? If so, thoughts? Any viability?

You swap out a more useful trait line and the ability to moa people for a low cooldown elite.

Pointless.

I did. It was mostly a resounding meh for small & mid scale WvW encounters. And completely useless for large scale encounters, whether that be as someone eating at the tail or someone in the zerg.

Chrono offers more independence while simultaneously being less selfish than Mirage.

Mirage was really good at surviving, but actually doing lethal damage wasn’t easy while running power.

Playing Mirage as condi was quite a bit better in small scale, but still beneath Chrono imo.

Try any sPvP as power or condi mirage? If so, thoughts?

Was most of my weekend, it was fun for 1v1s but honestly Condi is just going to be superior in the end.

I tried mostly GS, A/T and S/T, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would. I found the Sword abush skill very useful in several situations, it’s the best abush skill in my opinion. Axe sometimes worked sometimes it didn’t, too unreliable for a power build and the GS abush skill is a joke, absolutely useless in any possible situation, the dmg is non-existant and it slightly locks you in place while using it. Power Mirage is far inferior to Power Chronomancer in way too many ways.

I strongly feel that power mirage is better than power chronomancer when it comes to running dual swords. It covers almost all of the weaknesses of chrono melee fighter.

How does Sword off hand even come close to the uses of Chrono’s shield?

Mostly the phantasm, to be completely honest.

You could setup a full burst quickly, plus have the pretty good damage of the sword phantasm smacking them in the face.

If you think about it, with S+S you actually have 4 illusion generators even without deceptive evasion. Ambush 1, 3, 4, and 5.

That’s not really “better than chrono’s shield”, but combine it with, say, an unexpected Illusionary Ambush on a target trying to even out your fight (You’re still the +1, that’s likely never going to change), and it can be decent.

Idk. I’m playing devil’s advocate at this point.
