Singularity Shot really needs to just open the portal by default. Dimensional aperture needs to have a different effect.. If the cooldown of the portal is 20 sec it might actually be a fun Gimick. If you give the weapon some sort of mobility A.E. Maybe swapping the places of you and the portal (just like blink is programmed, no funny business) this might actually be a cool and the 40 sec cooldown would be justified, Also, can we also get that same love that Axe projectiles get? Inspiring Imagery gets lost in uneven terrain and goes on full cooldown...

The quickness is like 2 sec and it is personal only.

One day when we inevitably get pistol main hand mate 🙂

It's an off hand, ofcourse it won't. It usually takes the effect from your main hand weapon.

I was actually thinking about this a couple of days ago myself. Wanted to make a list of all the useless mesmer traits like desperate decoy and infinite Forge and dune cloak ( granted those are being changed in March, not to great extend but oh well) Speed of Sand though, hands down the worst grand master minor or minor all together. Given the fact that mirage has to be like the thief version of the mirage (what will bender is for guardian) it really needs some polish to be less clunky and quicker. Super speed is a good idea. Give us back the third jaunt and shave the cooldown in competitive and I'll be a happy mesmer Like I'm not being funny, most eillbender utility skills are 20 sec cd in competitive all mirage ones are 30+. I went further into the rabit hole: Rolling light is on 25 sec cooldown and breaks stun, blinds, grants resistance and also grants you access to another skill. Sand through glass also breaks stun, drops a mirror but is on 30 sec cool down. I guess you can argue that mirror is another skill but that would not excuse the longer cool down and less functionality...

That's why they created dune cloak. Infinite horizon is to apply more conditions, and dune cloak to prock more power based ambushes maybe? Ye desperate decoy absolutely misses the mark. Vigor on dodge? Might help virt but still. Not to mention that the trait gives you nothing in desperation nor creating a decoy, so that's a bit rubbish... I miss old escape artist too, they could have merged both those traits and it it would make more sense.

The new desperate decoy is a bit of a rubbish trait and doubles up with critical infusion imho it's a lil underwhelming but I think it might go well with virt

They also premtively nerfed that too...

Hey mate thanks for that. With fresh eyes and reading the patch notes I think it would pair well with the changes to Mirage thurst probably. (3.0 power coefficient) pair this with shatter storm, evasive illusion and you can shatter and generate nonstop. It's the way mirage somewhat gets endurance back without getting endurance back in a way. I'm actually pumped. Thank you!

Haha I saw that too, it still feels a little undewhelming for a grand master... Dune cloak reworks is just as wild

I kind of don't see the point of dune cloak, it needs more to compete with infinite horizon. Same goes for infinite Forge imho

I think he meant that you don't care about support capabilities of mesmer. The game is trying to allow every profession to have the freedom of playing whatever archiatype the player wants. I personally am excited for the new tools allowing heal mesmers to exist!

Absolutely agree with the fact that rifle 5 needs to have a personal use as well. I feel like the portal should always pulse its boons on cast and open as well. Recasting the skill should swap places with the portal and yourself and give the cooldown increase. Maybe give a little bit more time for people to react to the portal too. If the whole mimic of the weapon is to revolve around the portal make it fun and the thing to focus on, the main part of the kit, the reason to take it compared to other weapons. I'm excited to see how this will feel really.

Thank you so much for the feedback guys, I'm in the office and suddenly had the itch to know this is probably the coolest interaction they've released in a while!

Quick question. The wiki states that restorative mantras should proc on lesser power cleanse (menders purity skill) I'd you are using mantra of recovery does that mean that restorative mantras prock twice on cast (once from the mantra, once from menders purity lesser power cleanse cleanse)? If it does that phonetically makes inspiration mantra of recovery one of the strongest heal skills no?

I see your Infinate Forge being a tap out and I raise you Speed of Sand. There is literally no reason why the effect of this trait shouldn't be built into the cloak itself. Infinite forge should definitely an outlier and needs do something extra given the fact it is a grand master trait that you have to choose

I am starting to get a bit sick of flip floping between restortive mantras procking on chanel or on cast at this point... Just do both and lets forget about them already

Making it work as intended would be more beneficial if you ask me... rather than stopping your actions... you know... it stops you from connecting axe 3 if you evade an attack. I also think the old functionality should go baseline on the scepter. The animations are rather slow but that's a whole different topic.

It's doing it with every action tho. If you are dodgerolling on chrono or virtuoso it will stop the movement of the dodgeroll too.

I noticed this too! I submitted multiple reports in game, a post on the forums and also a ticket and was told to... submit report in the game and post it on the forums. Anyone knows any developers that can be tagged ontonthis?

Thank you so much for this! I have attempted submitting 4 different instances of the mirage ui issue and haven't been fixed. But this is visual. Self interrupting your action, especially on Mirage where they moved the functionality of the cloak to be a preventative defence and allowing you to cast skills is rather serious bug tho. I will try submitting a ticket too. Or we can keep bumping this until we get a developer response ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I guess persistence is key. If someone can let me know how better to report issues that would be great

If you dodge an attack and trigger malicious sorcery it interrupts your current action, be it casting a heal or another skill. It self interrupts you. While at it can we please fix the mirage dodge ui animation too?

you literally have atrait that heals you... on shatter... just do it bro

For some reason Journey will create a clone if you hit yourself but it will not stock a blade... A bit of a weird interaction. Phantasm feels like it needs yo be an amo skillso it can make sense and the portal should probably be 2 way. Shoot one side and the other as well and last for much longer. for the week of testing I had about a single person actually use my portal. I really think clones should be able to target alliys as well. Add some spice to the shatters if the clones are shattering on alies I think this will make the weapon actually feel like an elite spec on its own - which is the major goal with this experiment of not creating elite specs anymore.. Other than that the wapon is fun, the new changes are cool.
