Wouldn't be too bad if we had a power spec for chrono but that already lends itself to a condi build through rewinder and chrono phantasma letting you get double pistol traited for bleeds and double torch phantasm for AoE burn. Still a pretty bad spec in general that struggles with clone generation yet needs it because no IP.

 

i want to play something that feels like a (shatter) mes, so chrono is not an option.

Yeah that's the rub, Chrono could feel like a shatter mesmer if it had IP and wasn't all over the place especially with superspeed shatters....it's just they mangled it all to deal with it's doubling up nature.

it is just another rip. they should rename chrono and call it a 10th class. like "The Clunkylist" or something, bc dunno what chrono now is, but it is not a mesmer for me anymore. it can be a hotchpotch class for all elite specs with mechanics nerfed into the ground so that they cant function as intended anymore. mirage then can be its first elite spec we get with the next exansion… what great times to be alive as a power mesmer! \o/

I dunno I basically think trying to make mirage play power is a bit of a fools errand personally despite the obvious advantages on sword ambush. So many of the traits are condition focused I'd rather they just keep it as a condi duelist and focus on making chrono into a power bruiser. Personally I'm finding the heal nerfs and CD increases on core have hit a bit hard, you can still +1 as power shatter but you have to be very careful if they focus you.

Well, i will not be surprised if after few balance patches and some rework we end with... Mirage: "The Clunkylist 2.0" And send him to the forgotten well where Chronomancer already is. Will we watch a Mirage 2.0 rework in the future too? Who knows. If it comes, we will see it in the best horror cinemas. Imagine the emotions reading those patch notes... :p :#

 

They will need to make "The Clunkylis 3.0" of the new expansion shine, so they have a lot of work to do.

naaah there are 3 trait choices, it is possible to create viable power, condi and sustain/support/utility alternatives, no need to pressure any class or elite into only one direction.

I guess that's a difference in perspective. I personally think elite specs should be specialised into a role and doing it in different ways. Mirage being condi duelist it can up it's personal defences, have a bit more debuff ability/utility and then traits that up the personal damage and it's relatively OK. Hard to know how it interacts with every trait choice and line in each combo but by and large mirage is in a "playable" spot for condi.

 

Power you can make work the same way you can make power scourge work, sure it can work as viable but it's not really supposed to be played that way and it won't be easy so you shouldn't complain if it's not very good. That's why I think it's a bit of a fools errand trying to make power mirage a thing.

i know and i saw a leak, ofc nothing confirmed, probs fake but sounds realistic. it didnt say much, only this:

 

a new class will be released "The Clunkylist" coming directly with his first elite traitline mirage. the new class replaces any further mesmer elites bc we have decided that mesmers should not have any elites. gs as a weapon further gets deleted from the class to define mesmer as a condi spec.

the Clunkylist is a magical perma off meta class who wield deception of viability as a weapon. using unpowerful illusions to ensure that their enemies do not get confused and can believe their own eyes again. clunkylists tip the balance of every fight in enemies favor. mirage elite weapon will be the gs.

 

muha (crying in the corner)
