Guild Wars 2

Have the devs completely ignored this thing? It has a decent purpose but if it gets one shotted by an auto attack it’s pretty useless. Even normal clones last longer, I don’t see how this can be of any use if it’s getting hit so hard that it dies before it does what it needs to do. Also the condition removal doesnt even work half the time, even if you are in range of it.

I wonder if the devs would like to maybe revisit the mesmer for something other than nerfs.

It rips 2 boons off and cleanses 2 conditions, has a relatively low RoF (for a condition cleanser) and a relatively low CD to boot. Really, if you look at just that it is one of our best condition cleansers, after Shattered Conditions.

Its problem is the same problem with all Phantasms. Half the things your opponent does will cause it to fail to conjure and go into its full CD, which is unacceptable if it’s your only condition cleansing skill (which tends to be the case with us Mesmers).

I agree. I wish these guys would do something about our illusions failing so often. I can’t count the number of times I’ve felt completely useless trying to seige a tower because no matter which weapon i use, every skill except chaos storm comes up as obstructed.

Ever since ANet put up that LOS nonsense, it’s really screwed up a lot of our abilities. And yet, they’ve done nothing to fix it.
