Q:
I would like to go through some of the pros and cons of making the distortion given by the trait triumphant distortion reflect when used with the trait masterful reflection.
pros:
*mesmers gain a buff to their ability to use phantasms as body blocks
*the language of the trait is less confusing. as it stands in the tool tip this is another IE where it doesn’t work but no explanation is given.
cons:
this would counteract the buff given to rangers, an indirect nerf is still a nerf. given that they did not fix this when they updated the trait to give phantasms the second of distortion it is possible they do not intend for it to work with the other trait (@see communal defenses, one of the other traits that mentions allies but does not give boons to the user)
So what are you thoughts on the matter? Should the trait be fixed or should its tool tip be updated?

Learn as much mending and medical info as possible so that it can be added to the Dream.
Become the first Chief of Mending and guide the newly awaken as well as those who want to learn.
Either way would be fine imo. I don’t like that you have to read on wiki or the forum about certain skills and how they work/don’t work. I personally would love those traits synergizing with each other. If they don’t: fine. But let the players be able to find out without external research or testing it themselves.
EDIT:
I mean it’s relatively easy to find out those traits don’t synergize. However, other traits and trait combinations are harder to figure out in term of limitations that are there, but not in the tool tip.
