what are you talking about ? Its similar (not the same) to the UA skill from revenant sword. It doesn't target break... and ...why would you target a pet anyway?

Are you a pet bully?

"Target break is OP".Lol at this thread so fucking hard. Target break is essentialy a defensive mechanics. One of the MANY":

1) dodge, the most basic one2) invulnerability (full or partial)3) block (aegis stack or abilities)4) def. boon and condi stack, like protection, resistance, weakness, blind)5) and, finally, STEALTH

Stealth is pretty much exactly the same thing as target break, why don't you complain about that?

How on Earth 1s target break is scarier than 3-6 seconds of complete invisibility? Where you don't even know for sure if your target is still even there or ran to the other end of the map.

Because you see your target all the time and ofc when you see it you assume that you still have your target only to press skills and realize you don't have your target anymore. At least with stealth you get a visual clue where you can be like "oh I don't see the target" and you know you don't have your target but with skills that break target you don't have any visual clues.

Target break is a gimmick that developers wanted to add to the game in terms of mirage lore since it's kinda a mirage thing to be all random and untargetable.

Also the mesmer visual effects are not helping with the target break stuff since everything looks like it does the same thing and then suddenly you don't even have your target.

Literally new rant about stealth everyday. Target break is op and stealth is too but op is talking about target break so it would be better to stick to that subject. And mirage has more than enough defense mechanism and if target break is removed from it completely it will still be op.

Alt + F4 is also a target break lol.

Personally i believe they are misusing the term OP here.

Nope, I fairly consistently tab to the real Mesmer.

Either get lucky on tab but if he have 3 clones up +2 warlocks ,better to run away and click real one . Depends on situation ,3 clones or 0 xDAll complaint about mirage axe 3 i believe . So if target break really OP , nerf stealth to hell :D

I agree with the stealth comment.

As to targeting, you prioritize the centre of your screen when you have no target. Also a lot of the time if you cleave the general area then target only the Mesmer will be the viable option. I have more issues with targeting thanks to other players in a team fight and at arena lol.

Also I use clones to precast before selecting the real Mesmer.

Hm, some kind of visual indication of a target drop might be fine.

I'm not sure that target break works in the contrary. I'll test it later.

It doesn’t work to the contrary. Channeled attacks, or even an attack at the end of the cast time; right before the animation fires, doesn’t change.

Tests should be done to verify though, I am curious if there is any change when having settings like “promote target” on or off

Ah, fair point, yea I cannot confirm as I do not play mesmer outside of fractals and some PVE content.
