dontlook.1823 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 The cast for this skill isn't very fluid. Despite it being a 1/2 second cast it almost always fails to trigger when I go to use it. This is mainly an issue with the new PChrono since 3x Wrack is important. Anyway to lower this or make the activation a bit more fluid.. I read they reduced the aftercast by a certain amount.. Might have done well for a quicker activation. Its just an Immo :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deifact.3095 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I kinda hate this skill the way it functions at the moment, and feel it's backwards. I'd rather it leapt the player forwards, leaving an illusion behind which you can port to (but I understand why it isn't this way, as the illusion would immediately run towards the enemy). Also, Mirage now has a forward leap as an Ambush... but yeah this skill feels real clunky to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunalight.8120 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Must be out of range as the clone spawned by Illusionary Leap is always summoned. Even on say invincible targets, where every other clone/phantasm summon would fail.Well either that or your clone just gets annihilated before you even realize it was there, that happens quite alot aswell.(please anet give the leap clone 0.5-1s blurr tyvm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeL.8260 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Worse skill in Mesmer's arsenal just becasue it never really works, in order to leap properly the clone needs to stay alive which never happens unless you play vs NPCs, if you are out of range the skill fails instead of not trigering, the animation is not fluid it feels like there's always a delay and the cc part of it is worthless, I have never seen it work in PvP. Only use I have made out of it was triggering DH traps.It's good only on paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I am not out of range. The problem is the cast is a bit too long. It works 100% of the time yes when in range. But it takes a moment too long to cast. I was hoping the cast time could be a bit shorter so that it can flow into my rotation as Power Chrono a little more smoothly. There have been too many times where I just skip over it cause I have to stop for a moment for the clone to spawn. Its a bit awkward. Most of the time I don't even proc the Immo for PvE since I just want that extra clone for MW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the cast is fine, you just need to be in range. They've even reduced the aftercast so it's even more fluid than it was before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't make such a frivolous mistake as not being in range. And from my experiance it takes a bit too long for the clone to summon. I have a video where I'm doing my rotation and I skip over it many times cause its just too slow. Also, I didn't once say it doesn't work. I said the cast time should be shorter cause it doesn't proc unless I hit twice sometimes three times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimChance.6593 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 It’s funny. Remember when iLeap would still work even if your clone died! It took ANet a couple of tries to “nerf” it correctly. I think it was during the removal of the “clone on death” gameplay effort when it happened.And now, we have Mirage...

ovinnik.9216 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 The skill works as advertised, but I agree it feels clunky. It could be an interesting (and welcome) movement skill. Instead its primary use lies in its clone generation. User error? Perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
