What if Mirrors were a New Type of Illusion?

in Mesmer

Posted by: Adrianna.3092

Adrianna.3092

That may work in pvp but how do design that in pve? What happens if an raid boss fires it death attack into that mirror – do the mesmer get then that overpowered abillity?

They could always just make it a certain ability based on enemy type rather than ability used for monsters sorta like how thief steal works since we obviously cant use monster only abilities.

what if.. the mirrors could copy abilities fired into them? and when ran over you temporarily gain the ability yourself…. like spell copy from gw 1

say an ele used a fire attack on a mirror and you picked it up then you would gain the fire attack as your own in the f5 slot… if it were a weapon attack that requires a weapon summon a phantasmal weapon temporarily to replicate the attack…

this would make the mirrors function as actual mirrors by allowing you to copy (and store) and reflect the attacks back (by using f5) you could then bait people into using powerful abilities and hitting the mirrors giving you a copy of their ability for your own use.

this would also make that backwards evade utility useful… as you could evade and store an enemies attack as you dodged it.

I dunno about stats/abilities but i would love a spec based around illusionary weaponry (like from gw 1) summoning illusionary weapons that do physical damage as if they were real weapons (like mesmer version of an engi kit)

but then what about the trait that allows clones to use ambush… when you sacrifice all your clones to get ambush… i think its fine on dodgeing.. but other things like mirror definitely needs changed.

Mirrage and new F1-F4?

in Mesmer

Posted by: Adrianna.3092

Adrianna.3092

It will never happen… anet has already shown time and again it cares little for mesmer… we get the least skills of all professions in both expansions and are the only class without class mechanic changes.. if it hasnt happened by now it will never happen.

F1-F4 (hypothetical) change for Mirage

This would have been amazing… if only they spent more time on mesmer (but they obviously hate mesmer users… theyve been nerfing us since the game launched… i still miss when clones did good damage on their own in the super early betas of gw 2)

Start Mirage over from scratch, PLEASE.

Posted by: Adrianna.3092

Adrianna.3092

the only way mirage would be viable is a complete rework.. the entire design is flawed to begin with (shattering clones hurting our damage for example and still having phantasms despite them being worse than clones for mirage)

no hes saying they based mirage around the name mirage and nothing else.. they thought “desert.. oh mirages!” and did whatever they could to fit that theme no matter what even if the result is terrible.

Things we know

Adrianna.3092

I love where mesmer is currently.. i love the change to confusion and im not sure if the burn on torch is new as i havent used torch in ages but i love that too.. i think the conditions on mesmer is finally in a good place… its the other classes that can spam large stacks of conditions that are the problem.. mesmers could never do that but at least now condi mesmer is strong enough to get by especially in pve…

but while were on that subject.. can you please make conditions do something to objects? now i know it makes no sense for a wooden door or something to bleed… but the #1 reason conditions are useless in pve is because if you come across an object you cant do much to it (like doors or heart quests where you must destroy objects)

Adrianna.3092

i agree that would be nice especially considering other classes have pets that can stun/knockback.. so why cant we?

id say maybe a combination of daze and burning (it is torch after all) like maybe 1 second daze and 3 second burn like you said which would make it more useful than it currently is.

Mesmers Should Have Access to Fear

in Mesmer

Posted by: Adrianna.3092

Adrianna.3092

all they would have to do is bring back a skill from gw 1 and change it.. specifically “conjure nightmare”… pretty sure inflicting nightmares on someone would cause fear and completely fit mesmer theme of mind control.

in fact… mesmers make more sense to have fear than warriors do… mesmers and necros in gw 1 were very similar classes with similar skillsets… mesmer could easily have access to fear in the form of nightmares or hallucinations.

and in the lore mesmers are the class most people fear the most.. more than necromancers… necromancers you can see what they are doing and predict them.. mesmers can directly control your mind… which is scarier.. especially after fighting hoards of undead from zhaitan… id say the mesmer would strike more fear into people.

Making Illusions Draw Aggro in PVE

in Mesmer

Posted by: Adrianna.3092

Adrianna.3092

because like all mesmer things… they nerfed it… used to be the enemy would always go after clones first before you if there were clones avaialable… they changed that… then it used to be stealth dropped aggro entirely… they changed that too and now stealth only stalls for a few seconds then enemies instantly hate you again.

bottom line…. arena-net just doesnt like mesmers.

Shutting down an entire build (PVE)

id say the bigger issue is that conditions are useless in pve.. objects cant get hit by conditions at all and even some bosses (the ice fractal comes to mind) are immune to conditions.

Adrianna.3092

while i agree that mesmer shouldnt be able to detonate their own clones with death traits… and i agree death traits need a buff.. i do not believe phantasms should be included… phantasms already deal enough damage as it is.. punishing people for stopping that damage is just a bit too far… in fact phantasms are probably some of our highest damage if left alone.. so why punish people for getting rid of that damage…

i think mesmers need to be nerfed even further… and phantasms and stealth removed from the class… because mesmer is still too OP in 1 vs 1.. and thats how they balance the game right? so yay more nerfs.. bring it on! i want everyone to quit mesmer so i can be the only mesmer left in GW 2!!!

DE Suggestion - Only Destroy Clones

Adrianna.3092

what??? you do realize they did this as a nerf to clone death builds right? the point was to weaken them.. so why would they buff them instead?

This had nothing to do with phantasms at all.. it was a nerf to clone death mesmers… period… that was its intended purpose.. so as you said.. it did exactly as it was supposed to do.

Main Hand Pistol

i think mainhand pistol should apply daze somehow.. because of offhand pistol applies stun this could be the interupt weapon combo people have wanted.. daze on mainhand stun on offhand.. would work well with the interrupt traits.

mesmers make sense to dress sorta skimpy though.. mesmers are the class of beauty seduction and mind games… they are the actors/actresses of gw 2..

they also dont need heavy armor because of their illusions and ability to distort space/time around them to dodge attacks.

it should be noted that in GW 1 mesmers WERE performers.. just look at norgu and that girl from pre searing whos name i forget… on top of many other mesmer actors/actresses.. it wouldnt be that much of a stretch for them to be bards…

even in gw 2 they use the power of music (although only underwater)..

people keep calling mesmer an illusion class.. but its not… in gw 1 it didnt use illusions at all…. they just made it an illusion class so it seems more actiony or something instead of just hexes/curses.

in GW 1.. mesmer was a debuffer and alot of people miss the old mesmer.

Adrianna.3092

the only class that should complain about stealth is mesmers…. with almost no aoe and the only aoe we do have on long cooldowns on top of most of our attacks requiring a target we are kittened when it comes to stealth… the only weapon that even has a chance to hit a stealthed enemy on a mesmer is mainhand sword.. and its not strong enough to really harm a thief on its own.. and since stealth thiefs can hide in stealth so long that their hp regens to full before it ends.. well what can mesmer really do?

Mesmers needs buff

what mesmer needs is more aoe and a 1 handed ranged physical weapon… especially since scepter sucks against anyone good… on top of what everyone else said.. oh and doug… not everybody who uses PU uses the OP condition build with it… i use it on my mesmer and i dont go overboard with it.. i use decoy and mass invis and thats it with sword and pistol and staff…

Mesmer - Where Do I Start?

Adrianna.3092

like fuschia said… dont think of mesmer as a typical spellcaster…

mesmer is more akin to thief than anything..

think of mesmer more like a magical version of thief as that is what mesmer really is.

sword is one of mesmers best weapons.

in the lore… mesmers share the same human god lyssa as thief.. and they do so for a reason the classes are very similar in goal except 1 is magic and 1 is physical.

Added weapons.

Posted by: Adrianna.3092

Adrianna.3092

eventually they want all the weapons right now to be usable by all classes. key word eventually…. but if i were to choose a weapon to add… it would be spears (no not javelins like gw 1) actual spears… we can use spear underwater so why not… whips could also be good for mesmers in particular… i would hope they change mesmer sword animations to rapier animations… because sword would be too similar to rapier to just add a new weapon… but mesmer needs rapier animations lol.

the rapier animations already exist on mai trinn… so it shouldnt be too difficult to add that animation to mesmer sword.. cus mesmer just looks weird slashing the sword the way it does.. especially since blurred frenzy uses same animation as 100 blades and 100 blades doesnt block/evade but blurred frenzy does.. a riposte animation similar to mai trinn would be awsome and more fitting for the mesmer class.

Defiant Stance

in Suggestions

Posted by: Adrianna.3092

Adrianna.3092

all of the new heals are very conditional… defiant stance is amazing compared to mesmer signet.. 35 second cooldown on it and it doesnt even regen you at all without illusions up which means when your phantasms are getting wrecked by aoe you get no healing. which is really when youd probably need it the most…

also the fact you need enemies to use both of these heals doesnt help.. cus that means when your running away from combat you have 0 healing… but at least with defiant stance you can activate it if you start taking damage… mesmer heal is weak and the passive is only good if you have all 3 illusions alive… which isnt always easy to maintain.. especially in dungeons with lots of aoe everywhere.
