Guild Wars 2

Mirage is weak because it’s a build that is supposed to spam dodge like a daredevil but doesn’t have the endurance regeneration to make that possible. Also the skills you get for using dodge are all terrible. It’s as simple as that.

This. Mirage is basically a cop out of a thief. How unoriginal. I’m very disappointed with the devs and how the mirage was created. Mirage spec just doesn’t cut it from the other elite specializations. Being as frail as we already are, you want us to go into the fray with a terrible dodge mechanic a terrible heal, and a terrible elite? I found myself having to use blink and 3 jaunts to RUN AWAY from using the axe that ANET gave us. Like what are they thinking?

With the “new” dodge mechanic you think we would be given all the necessities much like the daredevil to restore our endurance and increase our max endurance bar. BUT NOPE.

I really just hate how this class has no sense of identity compared to the other classes and how flawed this dodge mechanic is. YET we are the ones that get nerfed with our main mechanic ambush being nerfed. WHY? we have nothing else going for us so why nerf what we are actually good at this specialization? which I presume condi. Yet ANET assumes that “oh that is too much condi lets nerf that” yet you have a Deadeye or Holosmith one shot you or practically anyone, and yet they don’t get touch? like are you serious? This class has absolutely nothing going for it. I heard it was the first elite spec to be created and it shows, because the further you get to the list the better the classes are.

ANet needs to go back and revise a lot of what the mirage actually is. The class as a whole in terms of self identification. I really don’t want to play a thief style when our core build was an assassin anyway, or if you want to play a thief, then just make a thief. As well as their role of group play, and the ability to actually survive in these harsh environments now that we have to get up and personal with our targets.
