Random elite specialization idea: Singer specialization for mesmer.

[JayHog.3280]

Haven't touched one yet, but so far what I've learned fundamentally is that Mesmers are about mind messing with your enemies, either by cloning yourself and such, basically tricking the enemy.

 

And I remembered a few mechanics in League of Legends about charms and such, which is forced care for your existence, so kinda made me think about a singer Mesmer elite where you play mostly a supportive role to buff your allies and hard CC your enemies, maybe make Charm a mechanic where it's the opposite of fear, instead of enemies running away from you, they slowly walk towards you ridiculously.

 

I feel like I could give Mesmer a try if it had something like that, plus would be nice to hear the VA of the races trying to sing in combat.

Well, theoretically the Virtuoso is based around songs already. Someone just forgot to tell the effects designers so you can only tell by the text.

Muse/Minstrel?

We had an insane fan-made Siren spec for mesmer a few years back.

I suppose a bow could make for an acceptable harp. But, then, what would a bard even do? It's not like the game lacks boonspam.

A music inspired mesmer elite spec would be my dream. I made a concept of it here if you want to check it out:

Would be convinced to make a mesmer Asura as my 6th one down the line if this became real.
