Butterfly effect/form – elite mesmer transformation – turns into a cloud of pink/purple butterflies (i.e. like the shatter animation or active portal but more butterflies).
Acts like ele’s tornado or necro’s plague form creating an effect every second in the radius of the form.
All illusions are destroyed when entering the transformation, cd 150/180s, lasts 20s, gives 20s stability, increase base toughness and vitality (enough so that the mesmer is not a sitting duck, considered 20% reduction in damage for each illusion destroyed upon entering the form). Mesmer does no attack damage in this form.
3 skills only one active at a time.
Skill 1: removes one condition from each ally in range and gives one random condition to each enemy in range, ticks once per second (random condition can be anything except fear, stacks and duration dependant on balance of skill although should not be longer than 3s max since it ticks every second). Radius 900
Skill 2: removes one boon from each enemy in range and gives one random boon to each ally in range, ticks once per second (random boons stacks and duration dependant on balance of skill although should not be longer than 3s max since it ticks every second). Radius 900
For both skills could have more stack/longer boons/conditions if it didn’t tick as often.
Skill 3: creates an area of reflection around the mesmer reflecting all enemy projectiles (stops reflection if enemy are inside or outside the radius, i.e. like feedback, so the mesmer could hover over the enemies or your allies to get the reflection or just stand in the middle). Radius 600
The skill is to be for group support. I know mesmers already have skills that can do these things but we can’t always take those weapons, utilities and traits.
It’s just an idea for an elite, I know it will never happen. I was just bored and decided to share. I would still like people’s opinions on it.
