Slightly? 200 Power and 15% damage is much more than 25% more attack speed. Espcially if you think in practice, when often a phantasm somewhere gets destroyed a few seconds after summoned -> if it only lives for a single attack. But then you will have better resummoning with the X/X/X/X/25 true … hm.
What me also gusta is the vournability you can stack with 20/X/X/X/X. Especially with Staff or/and Pistol / Sword. Therefore (If i remember right) conditions last longer with these 20 points. 20% longer vournability and bleeding dealt with phantasms will not only increase your damage, it also supports the team. Only one interrupption will give you a passive damage boost, bigger than everything else (since the whole team deals more damage).
I can’t say it often enough – you should never forget about the passive damage somone can deal. That’s why I personally think the engineer is very underrated by increasing the direct damage of everyone by 20% permanently (grenades).
The reflection thing is correct since (I guess) power doenst affect reflected stuff, but those 9% will. But vournability also should, right? Also (I never kept an eye on this) if I reflect something that does some conditions, will the enemy recive them too? Or just the direct damage?
Sry for Wall’O’Text >.<

Thats why you put the anyway expensive bloodlust into the main weapon. After your 25 stacks you can switch it with a +5% damage sigill. It would be a bit silly to buy all offhands twice. At least for me, since I choose to play with all the weapons in our pull and take according to the situation. If you switch to another weapon the bloodlust still stays active (until down).
So … at 0/20/0/25/25 you spend 25 points for 25% faster phantasm attacks, 20% less CD for illusion Skills and crappy 0-9% additional damage that doesn’t transfer to the illusions and phantasms instead of 200 Power wich is more than 9% additional damage AND transfers to Illusion aswell +15% damage for phantasms (instead of 25% more attack speed) plus in the end you can choose another glamour / reflection passive? Also the stats you gain are totally wasted since don’t even shatter phantasms. >.< Uhm … I definitly stay at 20/20/0/30/0.

Full Zerk, but carrying all the weapons with me. I choose the weapon according to what I need. But normally I use Sword / Focus with a Staff, or Sword / Focus with Sword / Sword.
Running 20/20/0/30/0 for utility and damage. But at this point I’ve got a question: Many here seem to be running 0/20/0/25/25. Why? What do you guys pick at “Illusions”? The only useful thing is the 25 passive it seems, but thats not worth 25 points if you ask me :o So tell me plz

damages without a chain. simple one shot, like the engi pistol 1.
about the same damage as the scepter but a bit faster
after each hit a butterfly surrounds the enemy for X seconds (stacks up to Y times)
2: Shatter Beam
like the mesmers in orr with their BZZ BZZZ skill :P you know – like a basilisk.
deals damage (up to 5 tagets, line) and shatters the butterflies to deal 1 stack of vournability per butterfly to surrounding enemies too for Z seconds.
3: Flashlight Powder
a big spiral bullet flies to the target and deals aoe damage and shatters all the butterflies. every putterfly will cause blindness to surrounding enemies and deal minor damage.
Image there are many butterflies^^

Greetings Mesmer friends! I wasn’t sure about posting this here or at the bug forum, but I guess it makes more sense here.
The last few days I couldn’t play since my router was broken. Yesterday I played the first time after the Teq-Patch. So I startet with farming at Orr…
I sometimes did those veteran giants, and then I noticed that every time when I’m not facing the target (with the camera), it stops beeing selected, so I couldnt run away and summon iDuellist e.g.. Also when I was fighting against 2 mobs I could simply face the other mob (just camera!) and it selected it without me doing something.
It’s annoying as f**k and I can’t find anything at the ingame options. Anyone can help me? Am I the only one?

Dude … I played my mesmer for over a year now – I allways did it like this and It is supposed to work. The problem isn’t the skill, it’s the fact that I loose my selection when not facing something. I can’t backup with walking away and attack again, I allways have to reselect things >_>

That’s the problem. As mesmser you have nothing if you got the Quip for example. It’s just not fair to be unable to actually enjoy your legendary. If you got a legendary, the phantasms should use it instead of the chaos gun. I dunno why this isn’t the case >_>

Someone in a recent thread suggested that mantras build charges over time instead of requiring casting, I thought that was a really cool idea to make mantras more viable.
For example, every 10 seconds gain 1 charge, up to a maximum of X charges.

I’m using the pack runes too and I have to say the swift-dura increase feels good but is not necessary, aswell the on-hit effect. I just use them because I already got them. Rubies are probably better, especially because they are so much cheaper. Bty, aren’t there any kitten-Orbs? :o

Stun breaker also will remove snare (hold) and knockdown. Also as mesmer, Sword 3 – 2nd cast is a stunbreaker, but I guess there is no such a note in the skill description, is there? I noticed this often, casting 3, getting rooted or knockdowned, 3, keep attacking again.
If with “snare (hold)/root” you mean immobilize, stun breaking doesnt remove that.
Whut? I was 99% sure it does – well tomorrow when (hopefully) my home network works again I’m gonna give it a try. But I remember many times when i got immobilized and then blinked away and were able to move again :/ hm

You guys should check something: If anyone of you got a necro, I beleve he has a Skill that applies just tons of bleeds. If you use this on an enemy, does the life bar vanish smooth or little by little? If first one is the case, then the tics are just a visual effect and the damage goes properly. If it goes (lack of english but i hope you know what i mean >.<) little by little (?) piece by piece (?) then every tic does damage and it’s not just visual.

First Cast: Drops a mark on the ground, that does a strange sound. Disappears after 60 seconds.
Second Cast: Image the “Mass Invisibility” animation. After this is done. A Vortex appears, pulls enemies into it and teleports them to the exit.

I understand what you’re talking about and I have to agree. But how about somthing like you said but a kittenanged:
Mimic
Passiv buff, expires when hit, 4s duration.
When hit by a projectile, triggers: Absorbs Projectiles for 2 sec and also blocks attacks for 2 sec. Echo enabled (like it is now).
Echo
Echo back with a temporary phantasm that uses all the skills that you have been hit with. Instead of simply reflecting projectiles, you can absorb attacks from 3 enemies and SHOOP DA WHOOP it on one target. It dies after this attack (2 sec). Doesn’t require a illusion slot. Or maybe it should and shatters afterward. Or it’s simply you that does the SHOOP DA WHOOP
What do you think?

Mimic weak?? Do you even know how it works?! If I do the grawl or harpy fractale for example, you can just sit there and laught. If it only would grant stability … The first attack hurts but thats ok compared to its power. It should just not be interrupted by knockdowns. But blocking and reflecting everything for 4? 5? seconds is defenitly not weak.
The Torch is just for PvP but pretty ok too. The talk about the signets – yes, totally agree.
