Overall I find that mirage fails to compete with the current chrono specs. The largest issue for mirage is its limited sustain and cleanse. Specifically mirage does not synergize with restorative illusions and without the heal well falls behind on cleanse.

Moreover a few of the new utilities and traits felt underwhelming.

1) jaunt imo has the potential to be useful for kiting and mobility. I personally believe that the offensive component, such as the confusion and radius, should be nerfed or dropped while the range and cleanse get improved.

2) I found the heal to be underwhelming and could use modification

3) perhaps add weak 1-2 condi cleanse to the stun break deception util and maybe increase its distance as a mobility option to handle aoes

4) in terms of traits infinite horizon is to important for mirage and the other grandmasters cant seem to compete. I rec making inf horiz baseline and fill the missing spot.

however on a more positive note, I’ve really enjoyed the gameplay of the spec. the ability to shuffle amongst my clones is very interesting. moreover the dodge has a lot of neat utility such as safestomps and covering our casts with evasion
