Lincolnbeard.1735 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 There's a flaw in your logic:Irenio would never hurt his precious child (holo).It might work for some professions tho, namely professions designed by Robert (Robert couldn't care less about chrono/mirage) and Karl (Karl even mocks eles).

Atille.5047 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 To answer OP's thread, this kind of pettiness is not something we should promote. I get the appeal, but I think perpetuating this kind of attitude with that kind of action will only make things worse, which is not what we want to achieve with all this crying about mesmer being pretty junky lately. @"RedShark.9548" said:To answer our guest warrior's concerns about Mirage - yeah, it's /meh will do/ in PvP and /great?-ish/ in Roaming for WvW. In PvE it's pretty much either okay in open world or in a couple of condition oriented raids, and that's it - most of content simply doesn't really favor conditions, especially the super-situational ones (Torment, Confusion) on which the spec doubles down for whatever reason, as if Mesmer never had confusion or torment available to it.PvP wise it's even kinda lame to run at this point, as it has no real advantage over anything anymore in any kind of scenario (there are better duelers, there are much better teamfighters, it underperforms at anything else). WvW Roaming's balance purely relies on "slap on more free buffs and stats" arms race, but assuming both parties are on the same page about that (a duel between a roamer Mirage and a roamer Warrior of similar gear investment), Mirage underperforms yet again - but also, it's literally roaming. It'll never be truly balanced for anyone. Statstacking makes anything crazy, that's the point and name of this game. Mirage is a tragic example of a one-trick pony spec that only really has 5 traits working for anything of real worth out of 9 + 2 minors, with IH being both it's main asset and biggest glaring issue at the same time. It needs buffs and tweaks, but not to what's already sort of working. ~~You roamers already killed our sweet PU, leave us alone, gosh, uweeeh, uweeeh (jk i know it was straight trash) ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zawn.9647 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 lol even after all the nerfs mirage is still a strong spec thanks to its mechanics. imagine if it not been “gutted” like you say? would ti be 5v5 mirage only in pvp? how awesome :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atille.5047 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 @"Zawn.9647" said:It really isn't, especially when compared to current forward-runners. It's exactly a "meh". People really overvalue the "dodge while doing attacks" thing, because surprisingly enough, individually mesmer attacks usually do trickle damage - I'm pretty sure warrior's reckless dodge does more damage and more reliably, and you could always shatter while dodging anyway. IH is only good because it multiplies Ambushes by 4, which makes them actually worthy of being considered a "spec mechanics". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
