Guild Wars 2

As I was on one of my story missions, I came across Tactician Syska, a powerful Mesmer disguised as a charr.

Trahearn goes on to say, “If she did use illusion, she’s either a mesmer or in league with one." And, “If illusions are part of this problem, we’re probably facing a powerful mesmer.”

This leads me to believe that Mesmers, if powerful enough, can have the ability to not only create duplicates of themselves, but show an outward appearance of a completely different race.

Now let me preface this with that I used to play the enchanter class in Everquest 1. They were pretty much the equivalent to the Mesmer class in Guildwars. They had these “play” spells they could learn that would transform them into any other race. I say “play” spells because they really didn’t grant any other benefits aside from night vision for certain races.

I think it would be pretty cool if we could get some spells that would allow us to transform race. Just as maybe a fun little trick to add to our arsenal. Not that it would help with battle or give the upper hand on anything per se.

What do yall think?

I think that every class should have a full just-for-fun skillset after switching to town clothing (and no “weapon” equipped). Rangers can play with their pets or make a campfire, warrios can flex their muscles and whatnot, and Mesmers should be able to do some illusionary tricks (including what you said) :0

Oh, that would be fun.

Wow, I really like that idea actually. Didn’t even think of “fun” spells for non-hostile areas.

Love the Ideas! especially Tetrodoxin
Maybe you guys should post this in the Suggestions section

New Mesmer Elite/ Utility:
Phantasm. Summon two phantasms with the type of your left hand weapon’s. You become one of them. The only option skill you have is “undo transformation”. While you’re a phantasm you cannot fight/ move on your own, but your character behaves exactly like the phantasm (moves, attacks and deals damage). You have the same health as the phantasm. If your health reaches 0, the transformation is undone and you get your original HP back (like death shroud).
Casttime 1.5s.
Duration 10s.
CD = CD of the phantasm’s summoning skill times three.

Thats not a bad idea, i really dig the idea of having iRogue as the elite and replacing downed phant with something else, and the Rogue goes into stealth after it attacks and comes out 2-3secs before it attacks

I loved my Dark Elf Enchanter. It’s probably an alien concept to most MMOs these days but in EQ1 your Race/Class determined how many NPCs reacted to you. Certain races were aggressive towards others by default. Dark Elves were welcome in very few of the other cities (so much so that even in the main Trade city there were places the inkies (Dark Elves worshipped the God Innoruuk) had to stay so NPCs wouldn’t attack them.

Even a human might not be overly welcome in his home city if he started as a necromancer, there were hidden passages to help with this though.

Anyhow, one important facet if the illusions is that it changed your racial base faction. So my Dark Elf Enchanter would just throw up an illusion and walk into town unmolested, well, except by the Minstrel’s Guild, but that their fault for having such campable spawn points. I’d be walking through town and some random NPC with a lute would come running out of a building to attack me.

I want dancing clones to start my own personal partys in LA if we get skills for none aggresive zones

Hehe, maybe even change shatters to give clones some commands
F1: dance
F2: chase target and wave
F3: Jump
F4: bow? sleep?

Id love to stalk ppl with waves of neverending waving clones :P
