Guild Wars 2

Everybody is talking about Illusion leap or Illusion elasticity

Phanstasm Distortion is a great Idea but, placed on Triumphant Distortion:
I don’t think it would be very usefull.

this is why i would ask what about placing it on Blurred Inscription?
I would be easier to reach, and would me more appropriate i think.

I triumphant Distortion is just to hard to reach, for what it does.

Phantasm Distortion on ‘Triumphant Distorion’ (Duellin #13) is a really really great idea!

After the patch I’d call it a must-have for every zerg mesmer who wants to do some damage (open world pve or wvw). There you kill enough to survive longer (distortion proc), and now your phantasms will deal initial damage more reliable (not die prior even doing that due to having distortion). Therefore a great trait in every zerg.

To ‘Blurred Inscriptions’ (Duelling #8): This trait is totally useless, and needs a COMPLETE rework. With your idea, you would change a great reworked master trait to two ok traits. Therefore you’d have to invest into two traits, to gain the same effect.

How about zerking 3/2,7,13/0/4,10,?/0 GS/S+F with MoP to auto-attack with from distance?

Why phantasm distortion on Triumphant Distortion? Because these builds will be the best way to go in zergs and will be a good bump to our usefulness there.

Otherwise, I don’t see how 1s of distortion for phantasms is useful outside zergs…

Ansau: Why do you have DE in the first build? Wouldn’t any of the 2,4,7 be better?

Even in zergs, DE is pretty useful to be able to use shatters when not having IP.
Mind Wrack does good damage, and distortion can save you from tons of bad situations.

From what I understand, Masterful Reflection doesn’t work for Triumphant Distortion. Who knows why, it should, but as usual the Mesmer traits are riddled with bugs.
