Mesmer details needing some clarification

I’m trying to better understand my profession and there are some details I think need better documentation. I’ve been lead to believe that some conditions are applied when you overwrite an illusion.

So I have to ask..

I get what ‘on shatter’ effects are.
I get what ‘on kill’ effects are.

But what is overwriting illusions considered? On kill? Certainly not a shatter and yet something i’m reading suggests overwritten illusions causes conditions (on certain builds).

Ideas?

Mesmers. All of you. Beyond my native Mesmer-bias, having more than one mesmer on a team dropping clones puts an awesome amount of people on the field.

Also, don’t trust the Mesmer forums to be overly honest. Some things got changed, yes. But on the Internet, Complaints outnumber Praise at least 10:1

I’ve done two explorations in Orr and only seen one Eye. I agree, the drop rate does seem a bit low. But the other yellow-class crafting components also seem tragically rare to find. Makes discovery and production with them prohibitive.

The real question is does this amount to better damage output than say inflicting vulnerability on crit?

Before I run dungeons til I bleed cutscene and can walk the Catacombs with my eyes closed I’d like to know if Exotic level 80 token weapons can be used for Precursor conversion?

Why did you roll a Charr?

Title pretty much says it all. I assume if you are here, you rolled a Charr. If not, why are you here, and why are you not a Charr? Was there a reason, or did you just make one of each class?

I picked Charr because I was extremely interested in what happened post-Ascalon between them and the humans. It’s interesting seeing what used to be a bitter enemy become a very real protagonist. Their home city also seemed the most interesting to me (next to the Asurans), because I liked the very industrial feel. Plus, I love the way they run on all fours. So kitten.

So what are your reasons?

I rolled Charr because I wanted a Warrior. I wanted an “I don’t screw around” gruff kitten wearing spiked armor and wading into combat with a ferocity matched only by explosive gadgetry.

The wiki suggests it’s crafted with a Rare insignia from the Tailor vendor.

I have also seen this problem, namely this morning at around 7am pacific. I’m hoping it was a display bug and will actually finish on schedule and unlock the parts I was looking for. If you’re seeing the same problem though I’m thinking we should be submitting a bug report.
