Guild Wars 2

Alpha.1308:

the “re-targeting” seems good on paper, until it’s put into a real situation, where it just seems like it’s not worth giving up what you already have to use it
(for what it seems, i’ll admit, i’m getting a more biased opinion from what i saw from my like only 2 spvp matches and more time spent in small scale wvw roaming and some ktraining)

Honestly, the more I think about retarget the more it seems like a band aid solution… And not good a really good one, as it has quite a long cd, and you need to be able to retarge on demand. Otherwise it look like another thing you have to “save for the best opportunity”. I’m almost sure I’ll end up hesitating to use axe 3/using it less, than I could be.

Is there any valid reason, why our illusions have to be binded to the target?

It’s hard for me say for how long they’ve been developing mirage as I don’t have any gaming developing experience or understanding of the working process of Anet team.
I believe Anet is listening to the feedback and will do what they can realistically, but I wouldn’t expect anything major, just tweaked numbers, trait reworked.
Honestly, I will be happy if they take their time, but eventually make mirage feel smooth and exciting to play, even if it happens mid/late expansion.

I wish they redesigned f1-f4 skills for mirage, but I was thinking that should utilize mirrors that you spawn. For example:
F1 – your mirror quickly moves to you, afflicting enemies on the way with conditions.
F2 – your mirror fire several orbs at your target , which on on hit copy some conditions to nearby targets.
F3 – beam of lights between you and your mirror dazes and blinds your opponents.
F4 – you’re blurred (shorter duration than with standard F4), but you reflect a portion of damage you were supposed to get.

The idea, was that, if mirror are spawned away from you – use it to your advantage. But this needs a lot of thinking to do. Plus we would need more mirrir generation skill.

I just really dislike, that for mirage shatters as they are now are a punishment.
P.S. Sorry for my english.

7/10 – glasses FTW

It would be really great if could you implement feature to type in Cyrillic as we have to communicate in russian a lot and it is really inconvenient to use translit for this purpose – sometimes it really hard both type and read. And due to that fact sometimes it easier to write nothing – which is awful for communication about guild members.

So I, as a part of Guild Wars 2 russian community, would like to ask you to consider the possibility of this feature.
