I still think a better (and global!) fix would be to make all non-skillshot and hence targeted movement skills fail if you lack either of:
- A selected target.
- Range to actually reach that target with the skill.
Do it!
I would so love to see this happen (and the qq that ensues!)
Chaotic transference is only for condition build, and condition builds use staff or they suck. The trait is bad.
Staff is not mandatory now, and certainly won’t be lost patch because:
- You can use Sw/P + Sc/T or similar combinations, where chaotic transference will be a solid choice.
- With the confusing combatants rework, your crits will apply confusion (as well as illusions applying both confusion and bleeding) so non-native condition weapons like sword (and possible even greatsword) may see more use in condition builds.
Also regarding Blade Training and Evasive Mirror – the Master tier in duelling is probably the best balanced choice of traits out of all of the lines and tiers because each one is a solid choice and none of them should be able to be taken together.
I think if Blade Training needs a tweak it should be along the lines of what tobascodagama suggested – ie that you gain reduced recharge every time you or an illusion crits alongside a precision/ferocity bonus.
Evasive mirror should remain a separate trait.
