People are overreacting as usual.

The Phantasm LOS and Blind/Invulnerability nerf actually only nerfed a few Phantasms, in particular Berserker; because most other Phantasms already require LOS and are already negated by Blind/Invulnerability even before this patch.

except berserker was the only option mesmers had to contributing to a seige.

you know something is kittened up with the class when a bug fix to a single skill completely destroys a mesmers abilities when attacking in wvw.

I know, although it actually isn’t impossible to conjure LOS requiring Phantasms on walls: I’ve managed to cast Warden up there many times, dealing AoE damage and watching fools shoot themselves. It does fail sometimes for no apparent reason (as sometimes you can’t tell if someone is in LOS of your character or not), but it is far from impossible.

you managed to summon warden up there because they were standing on the little lip at the edge, in which case anything could hit them.

And what’s wrong with that? Defensive fortifications are meant to protect whoever’s inside, I think it’s quite reasonable for defenders to be vulnerable if they try to get a better shot.

Except they don’t ever actually have to stand on the lip to shoot down.

Well if the Mesmer damage is too low you can always roll a Warrior, they never seem to get nerfed >.>

Of course not, Jon Peters plays one.

It was ALWAYS 30 seconds.

You do realize illusions don’t inherit your condition duration bonuses, right?

Clearly I did not.

Though the retaliation boon appears to be affected by boon duration.

Really? Haven’t noticed that. It’s not supposed to though, so will probably be fixed next patch.

Summoning a Phantasmal Warden can be prevented by aegis, los and dodging.

And blind.

Yeah, had a feeling I had forgotten something.
Pretty sure that Phantasmal Disenchanter obeys the same rules as Warden aswell.

Prelude.3817:

Why just iBerserk? All illusion summoning skills ignore los afaik…
Sure Berserk spawns right next to your target, but every other illusion will just run to it anyway, if there’s a path of course.

Summoning a Phantasmal Warden can be prevented by aegis, los and dodging.

No, they don’t.

And you guys telling me you’ll take rupt Traits over something useful to rupt a spider hatchling? Makes absolutly no sense unless you’re new to mes and don’t know anything. How can Chaos Armor rupt with cripple/Confusion/blind is above me lolz.

Don’t get me wrong… Interrupt traits on the mesmer are absolute garbage.

Winds of Chaos would only “interrupt” a weak mob like a spider hatchling, since they get knocked back by taking direct damage sometimes.
