I’m no expert, but I think sword/pistol + greatsword with full zerker is pretty much the best for leveling? Summon phantasms, hit blurred frenzy, Mind Wrack when your target is almost dead. Should be able to kill any mobs quickly. As for traits, domination and dueling are pretty obvious. Maybe get Inspiration or Illusions later on for their boosts to phantasms or survivability.

Skill being used without input.

Ah, yes, that was it. That would also explain why I had to continuously mash 1 to attack… Well, I feel very unobservant now. You know what probably happened was I was holding CTRL to look at enemies’ names and then tried to scroll my camera with right-click.

I still wonder about the cooldown, though. Why does it have only a ten second cooldown even without Phantasmal Haste? Is it a tooltip error and the trait is bugged to not give any CD reduction, or is the trait bugged to give CD reduction after you remove it, or is there something else obvious that I’m missing?

A while ago I ran into a glitch where my Mesmer’s 3 skill for the sword would get used constantly as long as I was in combat. Once it happened, the glitch did not go away. Ever. After logging out, switching weapons, changing traits, whatever. Any time I used a sword, it would spam the 3 skill. This doesn’t happen with any other weapon or character, so I know that it is not an issue with my keyboard. It didn’t bother me that much until today, when it happened with my staff.

Any time I try to fight anything with my staff now, it uses 3 (Phantasmal Warlock) without input. A right pain. Other than that, here’s a couple notes:

-This did not happen until I switched my middle utility skill slot from Blink to Feedback. Notable because I have that slot hotkeyed to Shift+3, and Feedback targets an enemy rather than the ground, might have something to do with it.
-Often times, instead of using the skill, it just puts it on a ~4 second cooldown without using it. When this glitch occurred, I had the Phantasmal Haste trait, which just so happens to reduce the cooldown from 14.5 seconds to about 10 seconds.
-Also, though I have switched Phantasmal Haste out for Illusionary Elasticity, Phantasmal Warlock still only has the ~10 second recharge, when it should have a 14.5 second recharge.
