Guild Wars 2

I’d like to see a small and simple change to Mind Wrack that would very slightly buff shatter builds and more importantly give Mesmers a bit more aoe: Change F1 into a two-button skill (ala counter or riposte). Hit F1 once, and mind wrack does the same as it does now. But hit it a second time, and illusions explode where they currently stand. This would allow you to more easily pull off mind wracks in big fights, and add an additional strategic element to shatters.

Anyway, just a thought. This mechanism could be used for all shatters as well, but it’d be most important with wrack.

I would prefer giving the clones more movement speed when using mind wrack, so they get to their target more easily.

And i would prefer having the clones go for my target when i use mindwrack >_>

This guy does a great job at showing wonderful shatter tactics.

Personally I have no problem with mesmer AI. Dodge clones will run towards the closest enemy they were spawned on. Something to keep in mind.

I know how clones work, the difference it’s ALOT harder to pull off consistently in spvp and team fights than it is 1v1 and wvwvw where you got plenty of room to use, in 1v1 it’s not much of a problem

Well if you dodge ontop of your intended target the clone will be on them. I guess they could make dodge clones seek your current target but personally i have no issue with it in it’s current form.

Make a suggestion then of how else you would want it to function. All the info here eventually get’s written into lists and is given to the devs as “suggestions” At least that what the community managers are supposed to be doing.

i usually don’t have a problem either, but in teamfights you cannot really afford to stay on top of players. especially with all the condi damage and aoe going on.
My suggestion would just make shatter force the clone to go for your target instead of what they are spawn on. Shouldn’t be too hard to fix anyway
