I currently play a lvl 48 Scepter+Pistol / Staff Mesmer exclusively (so far) in PvE. I have hardly used my shatter abilities and I feel like I’m missing out on an integral Mesmer mechanic.
I usually have as many Illusionary Duelists up as possible when fighting mobs and feel the Illusions benefit me more left alone rather than running in for a one off single effect.
I’ve read that they are sometimes sent in to finish off an enemy but the time it takes for them to run in is usually enough time for another salvo anyway if left. Another theory is that there is no regular use for the shatter skills and it’s all situational, but my dps relies heavily on their damage so any effect gained from them exploding is countered by the added time I need to re-summon them in order to kill an enemy. I also use mainly condition damage so need the enemy attacking and when all my phantasms are gone, the only way I can proc this damage is if that enemy’s taking a swing at me.
Am I missing something?
Thanks for any help
