Hi there. Firstable sorry for my bad english
I just wanted to give my modest opinion about it.
I really feel disapointed about this possible change on Scepter Auto Attack. I’m disapointed because everything that make a Mesmer a mesmer is so far away from this build.
So before changing a spell. It should be better to help basics mesmers mechanics works with this scepter.
Like Shatter spell (F1,F2, F3 ,F4) and trait. With this good trait that deals bleed every illusions critic, scepter for sure need a faster Auto attack. But not a torment proc every Auto Attack.
Pu mesmer is already so strong in duel or even in 1vX. In tpvp and even more maybe in WvW. So passive gameplay, for so much results.
In my opinion condi mesmer just need some traits to change the use of F1. It needs a way to get aggressive by shattering even in condi.
For example, why not a trait that helps the F1 shatter to instantly deal all the potential condi damage on the target ?
Of course, it needs a lot of theorycrafting test to set the best rate. But i think the idea can be fine. Giving a way to use it’s clones, being active and not just clones spam, and be usefull in team.
And i really hope for a change like this. Play the mesmer mechanic, use the premade traits and spells. There are so much things possible to give a possible synergie to mesmer condi. I won’t play condi mesmer if he is that condi spammer. Even in condi, mesmer should be atypical, active and surprising
So for the proud of mesmers, i’ve voted no. And i hope others ’ll do it. And others ’ll find their way on another class.
