As a recognized virtuoso hater™, this would be a cool change. They can even reuse the Mirage one they recently fixed.

Wouldn't have said better myself. Mirage is a dead spec with no one on the dev side of things to vouch for. Is a spec trapped between two powerhouses in Chrono and Virt, doing their job but being harder to play for worse results. They have trapped one of the coolest specs in the game on the vicious cycle of being bad (either for the jankiness, clunkiness or lack of numbers for the effort put into it)>nobody plays it because is bad>no reason to waste dev time on it because nobody plays it. Will i still play it? Yeah, i don't like myself enough to embrace it will never get addressed as a real spec in the game and change to a real one. Also, just checked the benchmarks, Virtuoso actually surpassed Mirage, we just keep losing mirabros.

did 3 pieces, have enough essences for 4th and 5th but i'm out of any other material. Currently doing metas and stuff to farm them out. I'm pacing myself to finish my first set in the next 3 months.

Mesmer, main pistol or hammer.

It just took 9 and a half months but we got the UI fx back. Small step for a mesmer, but a huge jump for Mirage.

Wish for the next step is the complete build inspector and this is just testing the waters.

I think the big problem is the random part of the movement over the forced one. Axe 3 is basically unusable if you don't count on Jaunt to instantly reposition yourself out of whatever it randomly threw you into.

This and having separate dye channels for each outfit and mount.

Condi chrono is not only viable, it has less ramp up than Mirage.

As i always say, you play Mirage because A)You actually love the concept even if the execution is not the best. B)You actually hate yourself C) A and B

Off all the work axe needs, being ranged is not on the list.

Is not viable at all. Rifle's ambush is just plain awful to use and gives no boons whatsoever. It's even worse on your clones.

Ramp up damage is low but you can sit at 15k once you get it going. I can solo it no problems.

But staff mirage is the posterchild for soloing the stuff you ask for.

Elaborate, there was no changes to axe nor any trait related to it last patch.

Hit the nail on the head. I've been asking for Condi Damage+Precision major and expertise+concentration minor since i started playing.

Playing pvp is hating yourself. Playing Mirage is hating yourself. Idk, it makes a great mix if you as me.

I've been rezzing my pot on the bugs subforum after big patches. It seems i might have to do it for small ones too.

Based, true and real.

Or, hear me out, bake mirrored axes into mirage mantle, remove the cripple from axe and alacrity from staff ambush. Opens a new trait, alacrity on ambushes. Problem solved. That and rifle's ambush needs some work.

I am prepping a 1 year anniversary party for the missing mirage cloak fx we lost on june 27th. I was going to decorate a cake but they took that too. Can't have kitten in Mirage.

Dune cloak can work on heal Mirage pretty good, ambush on the clones is pathetic so getting yourself to ambush as much as possible ain't bad. But that requires someone to actually care about the spec to work on it in the first place.

Then rune of the scholar and monk should be nerfed too.

Crit is not that big of a deal for OW. You can use dagger over staff with relic of the midnight king to compensate the fury and might and have a blast.

Indeed. Forgot to update it. Feb 27 patch, still not fixed nor have we been given an answer about it. Was intentional and there's no point in asking for a fix or was it not and is just not a priority to fix? I remember you fixing Untamed health bar bug a week after it happened.
