Phantasmal Mage
Can we make Phantasmal Mage a good skill? It is the worst phantasm, used only kittenter folder. What is more, 30 sec cd? We are now well into the third year when this phantasm suck, IMO it is time to change that.

Indeed. II would like to see its cooldown go down to 20 secs by default and the bounce is foe-ally-foe. But if the alacrity will make it too powerful for it to have a lower cooldown, then at least change the bounce.

They didn’t worry about that for all the phantasms that have lower cooldowns, and it’s currently weaker than all of them.
I say lower it to 23s, and give it 2 burn stacks instead of 1. The math says it’ll be just about the same place as iDuelist, maybe a little ahead on condi damage, but way behind on physical damage.
This is probably my biggest pet peeve with the mesmer class. Not Phantasmal mage specifically, but the fact that mesmer skills as a whole are incredibly unreliable. The class is build around a few skills, mainly shatters. Which gets boring after a while.
^ Usually only characer that i play on

^this and/or i would also change Fury for something else that mesmer lack, eg. short 1,5 sec stability. If not for dmg i want consider PM good for utility.
