Guild Wars 2

¡¡¡ Please, no nerf Mage phantasmal, put it as it was before please !!! Inflict 4x confusion is much better than 1x burn.

The confusion is the basis of condition mesmer, this phantasmal is the unique best of condition to support mesmer confusion, and with redesign the future update of confusion, it will be much better and more practical. We have no other phantasmal that inflict confusion in land combat, only that.

Think about it, will bring no benefit 1x burn the mesmer because it is not supplemented with any trait that makes synergy with burn, but if with confusion.

It does not have to cause a real burn the attack of phantasmal, it may be an illusory fire of mesmer that confuses enemies, or a bolt of fire illusion that confuses and torments, or also a bolt burning and confuses the enemy.

For example:

Mage Phantasmal

- Create an illusion that confuses foes and grants fury to allies. (4x Confusion 3s and 1x Fury 3s).

or

-Create an illusion that confuses and burn foes. (1x Confusion 6s and 1x Burn 6s).

or

-Create an illusion that confuses and torment foes. (2x Confusión 3s and 2x Torment 3s).

Please, thinks about it, If this phantasma inflict burn not have synergy with our traits, lose utility off that hand weapon, especially with scepter and confusion condition. If it’s posible, back to phantasmal redesign mage, but at least inflict confusion, it is necessary to support mesmer confusion damage, please.

I don’t see why burning would be bad, it gives us easier access to the most powerful condition in the game and more variety. Also I like the image of a phantasm blasting the enemy causing them to burn

I don’t really see it as a nerf, rather than we get an extra condition attack (the strongest one now) cause we already can get confusions from the Pistol crit chances and shatter attacks. It’s… really super awesome!

Another option would add that the phantasmal can inflict confusion (2x Confusion 6s) and retaliation (3s) with the trait “The Prestige”, apart from the other benefits granted of the trait, or just inflict confusion (1x Confusion) with 1x burn.

In this case, at least, that will increase the stack 2x burn, or 1x Confusion and 1x burn.

I like it. It diversifies our conditions a bit making them less prone to cleansing and granting an offensive boon.

The way I see it, I summon Phantasms to do things for me that are unMesmer-like. So iMage throwing fireballs makes sense. Though I wish they WOULD upgrade the particle effect to a purple fireball.

Ditch confusion, we now have confusion on crit as long as you trait into dueling so…….

Also, with the duelling minor + illusions + the new scepter we have plenty access to confusion already. But add burning, yay, another damaging condition!
