[Suggestion] Mirage and its traits

Mirage is an exciting class to play, but as build goes, there is little to no variation when it comes to impactful decisions on traits. Literally every build out there uses Infinite Horizon because it is so essential to the class. It would be great if it would be a minor trait. No one would sacrifice this trait for the others, so why not just get rid of the sacrifice and embrace its existence?

Another solution make other alternetives more apealing

Infinite Horizon

They nerfed EM to be a suicidal choice only fool will make. 3rd option is goddamn awful... And even worse than dodge holo have which do more damage and more condition damage as burn and cool his forge while provide close to nothing to mesmer (never been good choice for any build or any game mode)So they can make two other better ,I dont mind xD

The point is that it is essential. They cant really make other ones more appealing without making them way too overpowered. Not to say Infinite Horizon is overpowered, its just right, but without it mirage is not mirage. There is no point in ambush skills if only you get it and illusions doesn't.

Ideally IH should be grandmaster minor backbone of mirage with the whole spec reworked around it.

The other option used to be Elusive Mind. They nerfed that trait and Dune cloak was trash on release.

Infinite Horizon is fine, almost every ambush has been nerfed at this point, the only ones that haven't are the sword and the greatsword. Elusive mind needs a rework as its worthless now, it should be probably be something like "evading an attack produces a mirage mirror 10s icd". Dune cloak needs a buff, with probably a larger radius (200-240?) and certainly a larger duration bonus to make up for its lack of damage (30%-50%?).

Again, if ANet wants an easier time balancing mirage this is an essential step.

Thats what Im saying, that would be the go-to options.
