I’m not sure that I follow the OP here.

If you like using shatter, how does having an extra illusion summoning skill on each weapon hurt? Especially when some of those illusions will grant significant side bonuses until they are shattered?

The way I look at it, phantasms are just a more pet-like illusion, while clones are more about deception and denial.

Personally I don’t like the way shatter works, but if you’re fine with that part, then surely more skills that summon shatterable resources – illusions of any sort – is a good thing?

I simply wanted to show that its impossible for a Mesmer to have a build that has zero clone or phantasm skills, meaning its actually intended for Mesmer to always utilize both.

Exactly. So why the thread? You seem to understand it.

You should start a blog.

Interupt the breeders when they summon hatchlings. Burn down nests asap. This is basically a fight where all you need is massive damage. Do this fast enough and you there shouldnt be enough gravelings to kill the shrines (or whatever they are).

I feel the Zaitan fight should be a Hot Topic of its own. Other than that, agree with everything said here.

Worst boss I’ve ever played in any game, period. It was so bad I lost my entire interest in GW2 PvE. Only play PvP now.

There is a max-range, in PvE too.

I use Portal when I’m crafting in Divinity’s Reach and need to pick some stuff up from the TP. Pop a portal at the tailoring station, teleport to waypoint one level above, pick up goods, place Portal Exit and WOOSH! back to crafting.

However, if I try to do this in LA, my Portal “bugs out” since it’s too far away.

The mantra healing trait works, but it is close to useless due to the extremely short range on it. For me, at the time of testing it (level 80 but with crappy gear), it healed for approx 2600. This is just to give you a rough estimation on the amount.

It’s not broken, but it deffinately would need a buff.

The increased duration on glamour skills is approx 33% which is massive. In combat this will still feel really short, but it can really be a dealbreaker considering how strong Feedback and Null Field actually are.

To the OP: You claim that these traits don’t work, yet it is obvious you haven’t done any testing whatsoever. If you had, you’d find they DO work.* If you are unsure about certain traits, there’s nothing wrong with posting a thread and asking it. But this is just making a fool of yourself.

*Can’t say anything about the focus, haven’t tested that trait myself.
