Wait, Illusionary Ambush breaks targetting?

This wasn't in the demo right? And haven't seen this being mentioned anywhere but for some reason it does now?If it is new then that's quite a nice change.

Yeah it's new, it's a great buff and makes the skill really handy to have unlike before. Makes sense too from lore prespective (encourages hit and run tactics like thieves)

This isn't new. It always broke targeting.

I think ur talking about Mirage Advance. But yeah I like the change to Mirage Advance as well.

Ohh really? I guess it was just not mentioned in the tooltip. And never noticed a Mirage use it on me in the beta.

it is designed this way tho in demo sometimes people feel it didnt work .anyway its nice for pvp , but i really wish anet move away from this kind of design , it makes mesmer more annoying for new players but far less effective against skilled players , which causes the balance problem , and usually resulted uncalled nerf to mesmer .

I like It if mesmer has these things that makes new players get fooled easily, but I just wish it would still be rather useful against skilled players instead of getting nerfed.Either way I think detargetting is an "ok" thing in general, even against skilled players but it won't confuse or fool them, it's just going to throw them off because they will have to retarget again. We'll have to wait & see.

I'm a fan of the detargetting mechanic but it's a bit pointless sometimes if it won't actually confuse people or if people can just cleave clones down in 1 attack even if they are confused.

Ah yeah that's right, I confused the two.

It absolutely was mentioned in the tooltip.

You and all your illusions shadowstep to a random point around your target and gain Mirage Cloak. Illusions' actions are interrupted when they change focus to the targeted foe.

Not sure where it says that in the tooltip. (now it does because of the addition of the icon in the tooltip but that wasn't there in the demo/beta.)

So it's a feature? I thought this a bug after seeing it happen in a few pvp matches, even discussed it with team. Interesting find.

I think it just wasn't written in the tooltip during the demo, but it still broke targeting then as now.

At least now there is a clear tooltip for target breaking skills.
