Sounds pretty hilarious
Seems legit. I was always curious why it was single-target exclusive, especially considering how cool that animation is (and the root effect for it).Greatsword:
- Mine Stab: increased vulnerability duration from 6 seconds to 10 seconds; Mind Stab can now hit multiple targets.
Dear fucking gods.Staff:
- Chaos Armor: Now always applies protection for 5 seconds when applied, and now applies swiftness randomly when hit instead of protection.

Wait, Chaos Armor is actually Armor now? Mwahahaha.

Oh yes! That change is lovely!

Hey guys,
I was just curious, are mesmer illusions intended to be confusing for enemy players in pvp or are they mostly just used for the utility that having them up provides? and if they are used for confusion, is the confusion effective and is it something that after a few months players will just get used to notcing and be able to tell who the real mesmer is? also, is there an ability that allows you to swap places with an illusion? thanks for the info
Yes they are meant to be confusing and they are, especially since Anet changed the way the illusions names dispaly, orginally it was obvious who was the real player
So they are used for both confusion and utility.
Imho no they wont become noticeble unless you have a really keen eye, i see them a bit like the ball under the cups game, where the cups are switched around and you forget which one it is under (unless of course as i said you have a very keen eye) Hope that helps.
ETA: Yes there is a spell/ability (i forget the name of the top of my head) that switches you for an illusion, you jump forward and switch places.
Why did they take the vulnerability off the Greatsword ;( I really liked that...
I didn't play too much of the stress tests/beta weekends but removes boons seems much less useful For PvE (I'm not a PvPer). Is it fairly common for mobs to give boons to themselves?
hmm, on an unrelated note... "buff" is so much easier to say than "give boons" damn ANet for choosing a benefit name that cannot function as a verb.

That seriously needs to be one of the Shatter skills. Switch places with a random illusion, and then that one illusion is shattered.
Right now it's only part of the MH sword. You first send out a clone to leap at an enemy and cripple, and then it chains into you swapping with the illusion and immobilizing.

Hmm, conflicting leaked notes.
We'll have to see whether it's removing Boons, or applying Vulnerability. But if it isn't applying Vulnerability on Mind Stab, then it would be on Bouncing Blade. So Greatsword's keeping that debuff (a constant for a bladed mesmer, it seems).

The leak notes say the vul was moved to bouncing blade and mind stab hits multiple targets and removes all boons.
We will find out today though.

I've fucked with so many people with swords teleport if they implemented it as a shatter it would be OP for me :P
Oh wow... completely missed Vulnerability was moved to BB in those notes... Glad to keep it. Shame on me for my failure to read.

I've decided to be a Mesmer since the first stress test I did, but now that it's so close to launch I'm starting to doubt this choice and contemplate doing a Mesmer...of course now it's too late to get some quality time in before launch to decide :/
I just noticed that mesmers can use a sword in the offhand. I never noticed that before. Is that new?
Not really liking the ground target aoe mind stab I use my mouse to move so I'm not a fan of aoe mouse targeting and the 1 boon removal is meh.
Mantras duration and damage was nerfed as expected for the new charges.
1 Boon removal from any targets you can squeeze into that little circle, with a bit of AoE damage added onto it. Before despite the animation it was limited to single target I'm just glad that the Vulnerability isn't linked to the Targetting Circle, that would be way too much, no thanks on that.
