confusion
Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe scaling with power would make it…………………….not a condition.
Why though? Its a condition, and that means it should scale with condition damage.
You know the guard trait that makes retaliation scale with condi damage? It’s bugged for so long that nobody bother test whether its fixed anymore.
In all seriousness though, baylock is probably thinking about power mesmer with illusion traitline.
The funny thing is that if you can effectively stack and maintain 25 might even with 0 base condition damage confusion will hurt from the illusions line and do a significant amount of damage.
Works out at about 36 dot and 96 damage on skill use at 25 might and you can easily have 3 stacks on people doing about 300 damage as a dot and probably nearly 600 in skill damage probably a bit more before it expires.
Yes I know it’s not amazing but it does add up and can help counter some of the sustain other classes have, also gives you an edge vs classes that use lots of skills like ele and engy. It’s just a shame might stacking needs a very heavy investment to even be somewhat viable in mesmer with the SoI change not helping to make it worthwhile either.
For those who don’t know, this idea was mentioned in one of wooden potatoes videos before it was mentioned by baylock. I think the idea would be that in a new elite specialization, if you have something like zerk armor, you can both do a lot of “power” damage with skills like mind wrack while at the same time doing a lot of condition damage with skills like cry of frustration. Additionally, it would open up for more set varieties like power, precision, expertise. Even though this was for his Empath elite specialization idea, I think the idea probably mainly sprouted out from the question of what kind of new, unique features the “mirage” condi elite specialization could have.
