Guild Wars 2

Note this build only works: If Signet of Illusions resets Continuum Shifts cd and if leaving F5 did not remove active effects on you like mimic after activation.

The Rotation would be : enter F5 -> do whatever you want to do, but before the Shift ends you activate Mimic -> leave F5 with Mimics active on (if this works) -> cast Signet of Illusions -> F5’s cd will be reset (if this works) -> restart the rotation.

The result would be : Signet of Illusions never on cd, Mimic only in F5 in cd but resets after leaving F5 and you could perma F5.

Why OP ? Time warp never on cd, Feedback never on cd, Weapon Skills never on cd…

But if leaving the Shift removes the active effect of Mimic this will not be possible and if Signet of Illusion not reset the Shift it would not be possible too.

The patch has changed the Signet of Illusions description, and specifies it resets Mind Wrack, Cry of Frustration, Diversion and Distortion. I am quite sure it has been done in anticipation of it not resetting Continuum Shift.

Pff, June 23rd Chronomancer pre-nerf. What is op about losing two utilities to gain 0 cd for the rest of you build. “sarcasm”.

Shifting back takes you back to the state before you activated the shift. Simple.

So the best thing you might do is enter shift, mimic, dump a well, dump the same well, dump your elite, shift back, mimic, dump your well, dump the same well, dump your elite. Then wait for CD’s.

Keep in mind that F5 will revert everything. Which means if you enter it without mimic being active, you will leave f5 with mimic not being active. Also, it is very likely that when you are phasing in F5, the skill will be in active state, meaning sig of ill will not reset it because the skill is still activating, technically. So, sig of ill will probably only affect F5 once i.e. two rounds of F5 or three with mimic.

F5->do whatever you want->F5 ends->Mimic->Sig of Ill-> F5 again -> do whatever you want-> F5 ends->Sig of Illl ->F5 one more time.

And btw… that smells like it’s gonna be OP already.

That would actually work, but I’m going to keep off on screaming OP until this actually gets tested. As is other classes have been getting some very powerful stuff, and while mesmer is quite strong in the burst and suprise department (just look at the amount of peope screeming mesmer nerf) we still lack a core spot in any pve group (especially with guardians now doing quickness better).

F5→ Mind wrack →Sig of Ill →Mind wrack → leave F5 → Mind wrack→ mimic → sig of ill →F5 →Mindwrack → Sig of Ill → Mindwrack →Leave F5 →Mind wrack → Sig of Ill → F5 → mind wrack → leave F5 → mind wrack.

lol….

Now insert Distortion instead of Mind Wrack.
