I don’t see the increase when I use this trait. Confusing Images lasts 5 seconds. With the 30% increase from the Domination line that puts me up to 6.5 seconds. Seems I should be at least up to around 7.75 seconds with the trait.
Is this bugged?
If there’s some trouble spots in WvW you can’t seem to get, say so to your server. If it’s something that hasn’t opened up in a while chances are there’s 20 other people around that want it too. Rally them to hit the spot up, you’ll get it.

Map completion x 5 here.
WvW is not easy but not impossible either.
If you want a legendary, be legendary.
Ah thanks that was probably it.
We have 3 now did the last patch add one? I can’t find any notes on it.
How many are you supposed to have? I noticed we have an extra now.
Borlis Pass – Tyrian Giant Slayers [tgs]
About us
60 online peak, 100 unique logins a day, 10K influence earned a day. 100% represent required per account. We are highly organized around PvE content, run WvW, minimal focus on sPvP tourneys. We use ventrilo.
Multiple Events each week. We will run multiple bounties, rushes, etc so the majority of guildies get commendations.
Multiple GM’s and officers to balance out our priorities.
Our schedule.
Sunday – Guild missions Tier 3 for merits and commendations, if you miss these ask a Mission Control rank to run one for you. We work with the guild so everyone gets a chest and commendations.
Mon and Tues – scheduled dungeon runs usually fractals all levels. You can still get guild run dungeons done during the week, we have Mission Control officers for that purpose, message them to get a mission you need going. gw2lfg.com is a great resource. We use it all the time if we need to fill a spot.
Wednesday – Guild WvW.
Thrusdays – Orr event days, unlock karma vendors, Arah dungeon.
Friday – Free day, do whatever.
Saturday – Guild WvW.
We don’t force you do be on vent or use the website but you are much better off if you can listen. Guild missions are on a timer, you simply can’t type fast enough in guild missions.
Open guild bank, food exchange, bags, etc.
About you
Social self starters – pretty much what I look for. There are plenty of resources out there for Guild Wars posted on our website. Fractals, Super Fun Box, World Events, Guild Missions, Dungeons, sPvP, World vs World Ranks, Lengendaries, Living Story, Achievements, Ascended gear, personal story, world completion, etc. there is plenty to do.
Just represent, have fun and be chill. We try not to be clicky and include everyone in our events. We encourage ventrilo but it is not a requirement. If you can just listen that is fine.

Contact me in game if you have any questions.
Our schedule is
Sunday afternoons approx 4pm EST US – Guild Missions – Bounties, Treks and Rushes. We will have Challenges in 3 weeks. We also have a guild rank dedicated to Misson Control officers that you can message throughout the week to get a chest. Everyone who wants commendations gets them. Treks yield no individual rewards so it is not a big deal if you miss them.
Monday and Tuesday- Guild Fractal Groups – We cater all levels of fractals, we work with those just starting and have high level +20 groups. We typically have 4 to 5 full guild groups going.
Wednesday – Guild WvW 5pm Server, 8pm EST. We do not zerg. We have a highly organized WvW strategy that is quite fun and doesn’t rely okittenerg. With our method you can level and get ranks.
Thursday – Afternoons – Arah events and dungeons – If you need an unlock in Straights of Devastation, Malchors Leap or Cursed Shore we work with you to get the karma vendors open. We do have some of our dungeon experts. I have found this is a very good time to get Tier 6 mats in the events. Lots of mobs spawn.
Friday – We keep this day open, we purposely have avoided the WvW reset however if you want to help the server we do keep in contact with the WvW commanders that attack during reset. We try to avoid WvW queues and zergs. You just get too bogged down and have nothing to show for it if you run into a bigger zerg.
Saturday – Guild WvW same as Wednesdays.
We do expect everyone to be respectful in guild chat and on Ventrilo. We are quite casual and have members from all walks of life from all over the world. I’m Zmudge, GM feel free to contact me in game.
tgs] Borlis Pass guild information and recruitment.
Tyrian Giant Slayers is a highly organized and well managed guild. We offer daily guild events and the tools to get the majority of PvE content completed.
First and foremost our only requirement is that everyone represent 100% of the time. We have ventrilo, a website, guild events, WvW, however, we do not force you to participate if you are busy working on content that you want to do. We have an event calendar so you know when we are running certain events.
We do ask one thing, represent. There is a 500 member cap on all guilds, we have no filler, i.e, inactive members, those who don’t represent. This affords us to keep guild buffs up and unlocking the guild missions. We have unlocked 3/4 Tier 6 with Architecture VI in progress and Guild Rushes ready to go this weekend. We manage upgrades and buffs very carefully and you will be on the front end of new mission content with Tyrian Giant Slayers. We will probably be the first to have Guild Challenges unlocked on Borlis Pass. We don’t hoard influence either, we spend it on buffs as we have it and we gain over 10k influence a day and spend it on buffs. All officers are allowed to drop banners whenever and we have stocked up numerous guild missions if you miss a chest during the week.
The reason we require representation is there is a 500 member cap on guilds, we have reached this cap 4 times in two months after removing hundreds of inactive players. You can be a guild journeyman and that works for a lot of individuals however, guilds with no one representing cannot get the merits or influence needed to get the guild buffs and new missions in a timely manner if they do not manage the roster. You can spend time looking for guilds for specific events however our philosophy is to build a framework where all the major content is there for you on a scheduled basis. Out of the 200+ removed, about 10 have come back via the email I send out to everyone before we remove from the guild. Our roster maintenance techniques are fair and effective.
You will not be put in a overflow starter guild, we manage our roster and remove inactive players. We purge inactives on a 1 month cycle, We recruit just about every day and our membership is always active. We average over 100 unique logins a day. If we start to reach our 500 member cap we stop recruiting. Guildys are just not booted if deemed inactive, we send emails to you and put you in an inactive rank for a few weeks and monitor your account activity. If are in the inactive just notify an officer and you will be made member again. If you are removed just reply to the email and you will be invited back.
We also accept entire smaller guilds and provide the opportunity to try us out through our Ambassador program. You can run in our missions, try it for a few weeks, if we have the roster space. Contact Zmudge for details.
Guild officers – all have specific purposes, fractal leader, recruitment, mission control leaders, dungeon experts, dropping banners for buffs, vent admins, website admins, we spread it around so not to overload any one guildy.
Subject matter experts – map completion, (I’ve done it 5 times you need a vista I can show you) crafting legendaries, dungeon content, world events, you name it we have some one that is good at it and can help you out.
We are an 80% PvE and 20% WvW guild, highly organized, daily guild events. Guild Rushes almost unlocked, most dungeons mastered, commanders for WvW, and always have players online. We are new player friendly and have many subject matter experts on aspects of the game.
We run multiple guild missions each week so everyone gets a chest.
We do require 100% represent which allows us to unlock missions and keep guild buffs going.
Only issue I have with the LA travel is people sitting in a WvW zone taking up spaces for those that want to WvW. Should just have a general gate key for Lion’s Arch so you can go directly there.
Domination
Crippling dissipation – Clones cripple nearby foes when they are killed.
Question – Does that mean shattered as well or just when a foe kills them? I’m pretty sure it is just when a foe kills them but a shatter
Dueling
Confusing Combatants – same question as above
Illusions
Illusionary Retribution – All shatter skills inflict confusion.
Question – Does that create an addition stack of confusion with Cry of Frustration? Seems it wouldn’t have synergy if it didn’t.
Signet of Inspiration – Random boon every 10 secs? I never see it, is it only in combat?
I have to say I cringe everytime people suggest “Just use a Greatsword!” as their solution for Mesmer PvE play. I personally use Scepter/Pistol and Staff on my Mesmer, because that’s the image I want to build of her as a character; a combination mage/duelist. One shouldn’t be forced into using a particular weapon for your character; if a single weapon is by far and away the most popular choice for a profession, then it is either overpowered and needs to be nerfed, or the other weapons are mediocre and need to be buffed.
thats like saying you want to do massive aoe damage on ele without staff, or engi without grenades, or if you want to do ranged damage as a thief, but you want the ‘image of your character’ as a dual dagger thief.
its just stupid. when you’re doing DE’s pull out a great sword if you cant tag enough mobs, then switch to your main weapon set for everything else.
You have so many options with traits with a mesmer, it took awhile for me to tune my traits but depending on how you want to kill something adjust your traits. I don’t think scepter/pistol has a lot of synergy. You have a strong phantasm with pistol while your specter is creating clones. With scepter builds I focus on shatter traits, with pistol I use sword and greatsword. Those two phantasms have great synergy and I do whatever I can to buff the phantasms when I have that combo.
For multiple mobs, greatsword and staff, I’m Asuzra so I have the Aoe as well and the DPS golem. I start with chaos field, radiation field, the sword bounce that leaves a clone, 2 clones, shatter with cry, switch to GS, bezerker, and pick off the rest, depending on the mobs 3 to 8. For instances the mobs are so tough aoe doesn’t really help. I use a legion build (strong phantams) for WvW and PvE. I do just fine.
