Guild Wars 2

On Mirage
I like the idea/theme of the mirage. However (imho) some things are not implemented to their full potential.
General

• As mentioned many times, it is not clear what to do with phantasms (they dont fit into the theme) and clones (shatter or not? Only Infinite Horizon gives an idea)
• Mirage Mirrors are a nice concept, however they are hard to interact with. They should stay longer and pose a threat to enemys. Give them a max count as for illusions and let them stay for the duration of the fight. Beside the name I dont see the theme in them. As for mirrors, they should reflect/copy something or give something like a path-through.
• I really like conditions in GW2 but a viable power option should be given

Traits

• Speed of Sand should be merged with Mirage Cloak and the ambush window should be longer
• Shards of Glass should give a 33% chance per illusion shattered
• Self Deception should allways create clone at starting location
• Infinite Horizon should be baseline for clones. Maybe add effect for phantasms

Skills

• False Oasis feels weak. A decreased CD would be great
• Crystal Sands needs a rework of the pathing
• Jaunt needs some rework. A great way to improve this skill (especially with self deception): Shadowstep behind your target, where your target functions as a mirror for repositioning.

Kind Regards

Robert Gee.9246:

Illusionary Reversion: Updated functionality. You must shatter at least 2 illusions in order to generate a clone from this trait. (You do not count as an illusion towards this total.)

• Yeah I know this one probably stings but when we started looking at it it was pretty silly that this trait could let you get so much power out of just using all shatter skills back to back.

Wouldn’t it be more plausible to set an ICD of lets say 5 secs to prevent chain shattering? I also thought, this trait was intended to eliminate the need for DE.

Anyone mind to explain what you are talking about? I dont get it.
Thx

Got a few stacks of them. Didn´t hear anything about Lyns being removed. Thought i could at least keep my salvaging and harvesting tool up with those. Does anyone have the official statement of Anet?
Took some gold to get those. A compensation would be nice!

Kind regards
