Agent Noun.7350 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 There hasn't been a balance patch, so nothing has changed that would make this build out-of-date. It also relies on mechanics that I don't really see changing any time soon, like Mesmer traits that have been around for ages (Evasive Mirror) and core aspects of Mirage. I should clarify that there's nothing _truly_ permanent about the evasion in this build--there will be times that you're not evading--but it does have a _ridiculous_ amount of it. It's a lot of fun in open world stuff and I highly recommend giving it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rank eleven monk.9502 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Just watched a small part of the video and saw that he rated the build for 5 stars for PvP. Now I'm not sure if this was a joke but this is definitely a useless build in PvP, just FYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Noun.7350 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Given the rest of the video, it was probably a joke. The build is amazing for open-world PvE and nothing else. But it really is fantastic for open-world PvE, so it's worth a try if that's what you do the most of. Though I think I'd carry a scepter in another weapon set because there are definitely times you'll want range, even when you can evade a ton.

Mayama.1854 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 But calling it useless is a joke too. Still has the core mirage strength and high condi burst. What you dont have is the daze/stun on dodge and bursting multible people almost instantly close to downed state. I bet you could still easily win 1v1 against most specs with it.

Dawdler.8521 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Well I got say, I love how the videa is using a static and non attacking golem to apparently prove perma evade and perma reflection. Its not *that* hard to evade something that doesnt attack you. Also its nowhere near anything claimed (or a thief) even if it is an evasive build.

redcomyn.4651 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Hey, Dawdler, didn't you watch the video to the end? He showed a solo champion fight, in case you weren't aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He solos a champion at the end, complete with an evade counter. It's definitely not a permanent evasion build, but it's still _very_ evasive and you do some pretty solid solo DPS in the process.

Hitman.5829 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 And noobs complain about full counter? And anet listens to them? In what world is a perma evade even allowed? Oh right, I forgot the creators of this game love to play with their mesmers, thieves, rangers, and necros! If i remember correctly, I have seen some Anet developers in the forums with their mesmer tags, that explains it all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Please mirage has no perms evade. The title is kind off an attention soaker. In wvw and pve we can get something like 60 % maybe 70% MAXIMUM - only with domination. This means no duelling or chaos. Meanwhile daredevil has Really a "perma" evade build with 90% + evade time. Warrior can Evade more then mirage xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to use your dodges for this. YOU GET A FULL COUNTER EVERY 8 SECONDS, A SHIELD THAT BLOCKS EVERYTHING **AND** 2 DODGES! Ignorance...please stop talking about things you don't know. Thank you.

Senqu.8054 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Mirage has so little to no access to boons but the spec has Vigor on shatter and everyone is losing it xD dueling provided 5 years long vigor if crit to us mesmers and noone complained and now you talk about perma evade? + the endurance regeneration food is available for everyone so take it if you want it + the energy signet is available for everyone take it if you want it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
