Ik thats why i believe not allowing functionality splits is a silly choice.

Confusion isn't Mesmer defining feature, also Quaggan would remind you that we aren't talking about Mesmer and sources of confusion Mesmer has, but about Mirage and how new sources of confusion stack with old Mesmer sources of confusion resulting in too much confusion around. Do you tell Quaggan to take no action during 4 seconds of confusion, while confusion, bleed, torment and burning all are ticking on him and you're still attacking Quaggan meanwhile applying more confusion?

I guarantee to you that 20~30 stacks of confusion(which is normal for Mirage) dont hit for only "whooping 136 damage in pvp."

I don't know where you get that number especially since you exclude eles (same health pool as thief) and disregard how arbitrarily huge the base HP differences are between HP tiers.

There is no trade in a scenario in which one player shouldn't/can't act while the other one gets to unload a button-mash barrage of tab-targeted auto-pursuit abilities that are all instant or near-instant. I can run vipers as well and deal high direct damage while conditions continue to tick.

 

GW1 Blackout was a trade. GW2 mirage burst requires no timing or positioning investment on part of the mirage. They stealth and evade while bursting from range, and then they evade while backing off to safety.

Meta mirage dumps around 5 unique conditions on a target with the initial burst. The only skill that would allow someone to consistently cleanse that many, easily-applied, low CD condis is probably Ether Renewal. Also, there's no guarantee that I'm going to cleanse the 20+ confusion stacks when there are 4 other condis on my bar and I only have a 3-condi cleanse.

I wish that mirages were more resilient to damage, that their invulnerabilities and dodges gave them like... 80% damage reduction. Let them retain the mobility, but don't let them feel untouchable.

Well that should apply to any invulnerability or damage immunities to prevent silly "5% hp left a passive/active saves my bum, I am so good" situations. PvP should be more punishing with mistakes and don't give anyone any feeling of safety even behind damage mitigation walls.

No becasue then it would require people to try instead of waiting for passive damage to do the work. The only passive ticks should be Bleed and burn. Torment only if moving, Confusion only if using a skill. Poison reduces heal potential by x % per stack.

I'd be ok with poison giving a slow health degen additionnaly though. Like -0.5% max health/sec.

Genesis advice: Wait it out. Don't move otherwise torment will hurt a lot. There are no cleanses on rev so just wait it out man! Easy! Mirage not OP! (PLZ DONT NERF MY FREELO EVEN THO IM NOT EVEN PLAT LOL)

Because not moving against a class that can burst 30 stacks of confusion and 10 torment is a good idea.

I think what truly broke things was the sword leap. Giving thief-like mobility to the class that already had portal was a mistake, and the same skill also comes with a spammable interrupt. Leap range on sword should be cut in half and their confusion application lowered.

 

Stunbreak on dodge is kinda stupid as well.

Even without the Trait they can evade while Stunned or Channeling or Attacking. Don’t forget Big Karl has got a term for that “Interesting”Gameplay
