Guild Wars 2

Another thread brough this idea to my mind. Bring your critic (but constructive pls)
New Elite Skill
Master Of Illusions:
Transforms you into a big butterfly and replaces your weaponskills with theese skills (YOU DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR SHATTERSKILLS):

The butterfly can have 4 different colours that grant different positive effects

• red: Increases your Conditiondmg by 150
• magenta: decreases the cooldowns of your transformationskills by 15%
• violet: Increases your strengh by 100
• pink: Increases your toughness by 100

1) You hit your enemy with an autoattack Depending on your colour.
The animation would just summon a clone that does the autoattack but in fact that’s you who’s doing that attack (only animation not a clone that’s summoned)

1. red: Winds of Chaos
2. magenta: Ether Clone (End of the Chain)
3. violet: Spatial Surge
4. pink: Mind Spike (End of the Chain) would just spawn at your enemy’s location hitting him with the attack

• Range: 1200
• Cooldown: no CD
• Casttime: 3/4s

2)Master’s Charge:
Rush forwart to your enemy and hit him with a hit of your big illusionary butterflybody (<3). You inflict a condition depending on your colour.

• Range: 900
• Cooldown 8s
• Chargetime: 3/2s
• red: 3 stacks bleed for 5s
  magenta: blind for 4s
  violet: 5 stacks vulnerability for 10s
  pink: weakness for 5s

3) Phantasms of the Master:
Summon (an) illusion(s) that attacks your enemy and is based on your color: (cooldown does not reset when you change your colour)(all skills of the phantasms are the same as with the classes but every effekt/dmg is halved and the cd is multiplikated with 3/4)

• red: iScientist – attacks with a concussion bomb
• magenta: another butterfly with random colour that use “Masters’ Charge”
• violet: iWarrior – attacks with 100 Blades
• pink: iGuard – uses Empower

• Range: 1200
• Cooldown: 12s
• Casttime: 1s

4) Master of Distraction:
Depending on your colour you have different teleport spells:

• red: you teleport to your enemy and the spot you left and the spot you get to are polluted with confusing air.
  Duration: 3s
  Confusion: 3 times 1 stack per field for 3s
• magenta: you teleport 600 Units into a random direction leaving a decoy (only 2s invisible) behind (decoy is a butterfly <3 )
• violet: blink. Just blink with low cd^^
• pink: teleport away from your target healing yourself by 1500 hp
• Cooldown: 8s
• Range: 900

5) Wings of Change:
Your Transformation changes it’s colour increasing other stats (mentioned above)

• Casttime: instant
• Cooldown: 1s

So many Transformation Elite requests. Personally i have had ideas for them as well mine being:

An Elite that copies an Elite from what ever Target you use it on both Ally or enemy, allow it to be stored until you use it and then the cool down starts

It would have to be a specific Elite from each class

Ele – Tornado
Engineer – Supply Crate
Necro – Lich Form
Thief – Dagger Storm
Guardian – Tome of Wrath
Ranger – Spirit Of Nature
Warrior – Rampage

Seeing as we are about illusion and confusion it would be great to be able to use an Elite that we have “stored” and people just wouldnt be able to tell exactly what we would use until we use it.

As for your idea.

2)Master’s Charge:
Rush forward leaving trail behind you through all targets. Deal damage and inflict condition based on color. any target that is in the trail is inflicted with condition.

Range: 1200
Cooldown 12s
Chargetime: 1s
red: 5 stacks bleed for 5s
magenta: 3 stacks of Confusion 5 seconds
violet: 5 stacks vulnerability for 10s
pink: weakness for 5s

5) Wings of Change:
Your Transformation changes it’s colour increasing other stats (mentioned above) Inflicts conditions based on your colour to all those in range

Casttime: instant
Cooldown: 5 seconds
Range: 240
red: 3 stacks bleed for 10s
magenta: 1 stacks of Confusion 10 seconds
violet: 5 stacks vulnerability for 10s
pink: weakness for 5s

Not quite understanding the auto attack, could you explain it a bit more? The auto attack needs to have a MUCH lower cast time. Something along the lines of Spatial Serge if it hits multiple times.

You could just remove the whole clone summoning part of the auto attack, just have it casting the auto attacks of the different weapons. Think they would need to be a bit more “Butterfly” like Spatial Surge could fire loads of little butterflies at the target for example.

Nice Idea. The thing is that I’d love to have it really like a “Master” of the profession that summons and unsummons illusions all over the time (even if they’re not counting as illusion but only animations) as standart hit^^

I don’t hate this or love this tbh.

But I’d rather not just be a giant friggen space butterfly of the mind that smokes a giant hookah. But if it temporarily turned your back item off and gave you butterfly wings with the same colours that you describe that’d be cool.

Also I think red should increases your strength considering that’s the game’s running theme and maybe swap condi dmg for violet

If one of the main Characteristics of Mesmers are Clones, Phantasms and Shattering, i don’t understand how the elite skills don’t have one that is good for them!

For example, some doable elite skills:
.1 – Double the maximum clone/phantasm capacity and summon 1 (or 2) clones each 2 secs / 10 secs
.2 – Summon 2 phantasms (Phantasmal Snipers (with more life), with 1500 range)!
…
etc!!!
