Guild Wars 2

First of all, how exactly is might supposed to work when using Mirror Blade? Is it supposed to give us 3 stacks for 10s per use/hit? There are countless times where I’ll stack three mirror blade illusions (each blade dealt dmg to the target) and not a single stack of might. I’ve been testing this and am pretty sure it’s not due to something like an enemy skill or whatever. I can recall plenty of times where I’ve been ranged and out of any damage from foes and still, no might stacks. What am I missing here?

What’s the deal with the stacks constantly dropping in mere seconds? I’ll get up to like 12 and then a second later it drops to 6. O_O Whhhaaaa… but why? What’s the point of getting such awesome might if you can’t even take advantage of it?

I’m running a berserker build, with lots of boon duration boosts. I’ll use food for 20% duration, the signet for 10 and soon I’ll be testing runes for a total of 50% duration boost. If this doesn’t solve the problem… then wtf…

U get 3 stacks of might each time the sword bounces back to you.

For the duration, not all stacks got on you at the same time, so they also dissapear at different times

“Throw an illusionary greatsword that bounces between targets, damaging foes and giving might to allies. It creates a clone at its first target.”

The bounce doesn’t go as far as you might think it does, so if you’re casting from near-to-max range you will not be hit by the returning blade and granted might.

cast range of mirror blade is 1200, but bounce range is only 600. you weren’t in range to recieve the bounces or they were bouncing to someone else.

as for dropping stacks quickly, might stacks in intensity, not duration.

Yeah, I find the best situation/only reliable situation to get Might from Mirror Blade is in 1v1. Unless you happen to really good at predicting where the blade bounces to and position yourself accordingly.

Mirror blade is mainly about stacking vulnerability. The might you “might” get is a plus. :P

/facepalm I really need to learn to read.

Well, still on topic here. What is the most effective way for mesmers to accumulate the most might stacks and keep them long enough for superior dps?

Even with the nerf, Shattered Strength always provided half decent Might stacks for a shatter heavy build.
