GameTales of Maj'Eyal: Age of Ascendancy 1.2.5
Addons

Glutton 1.2.3

Gluttons are cursed with insatiable Hunger, which they use as a resource. It increases over time, and gives benefits and penalties depending on the current amount they have. They can Devour creatures, which they can then Digest to gain bonuses, sometimes permanent, including stat points and even talents. Since Gluttons can gain stat points from Devouring creatures, they gain no stat points per level. Since they can gain talents as well, they start with few categories. This is the basic class concept, and I hope you have fun with it. Disclaimer: the Glutton is very unbalanced right now (hence the alpha status). I welcome and encourage any feedback.

Thanks to all of #tome for their help. Special thanks to FlarePusher and Draknodred for helping me flesh out the class concept and for developing talent ideas, and to natev for a lot of help but especially for letting me build off his resource code.

Glutton 1.2.3

Spellsword 1.2.5

This addon grew out of an attempt to rework the Arcane Blade base class from the TOME module way back in beta. Previous versions can be found under the "Arcane Blade Rework" addon. I got sufficient positive feedback, and it was a sufficient departure from the original class, that it was decided to split it off to its own class, while letting the Arcane Blade be updated by others.

The class revolves around melee spells, utilizing a mixture of stamina and mana require skills. Probably the most unique feature are the elemental stances, only which one of is active at a time, and which are activated by using the basic elemental strikes.

Mesmer 1.2.2

A magical class based on creating and shattering illusions.

Mesmer 1.2.2

Monk 1.1.5

Monk for versions b42 and above.

Monk 1.1.5

Ghost Race 1.2.3

Adds in a new Undead race, Ghost. Ghosts have a life rating lower than that of yeeks, but ghosts make up for this by sharing damage with their mana pool.
Being a ghost gives them access to certain categories, Ghosts can gain the following categories; Aegis, Cursed-Aura, Gloom, and Fears.

Ghost Race 1.2.3

Phantoms 1.2.3

Geists are back, with three new trees, and a new name!

"Phantoms are mages who have made a dark bargain for power. Unlike Doomed, they have yet to fall, and for what little time they have left, the shadows themselves their ally. Can they avert the impending doom upon them, or will they be lost in the darkness?"

New skill trees!

Vile Tactics
Vile Aim: Aim for the enemies eyes, doing damage and having a chance to blind.
Shadowsense: See through the shadows, making stealth a bit easier to use!
Shadow Net: Throw out a net of shadows, doing damage and slowing.
Unveil: Some think they are the masters of the dark. Show them who's boss! Reveals enemies in the AoE, doing double damage to them in the process.

Dark Veil
Enveil: Hide in the shadows.
Veiled Strike: Shadowstrike!
Twist the Veil: Tiny range phase door that turns you entirely invisible for one turn, and resets the cooldown on Enveil.
Veiled Threats: Unseen Actions 2.0

Shadowkin
Shadow Alliance: Standing near your shadows gives a boost to your stealth power.
Dark Exchange: Your mana fuels your mental strength, and your hatred fuels your magical might.
Unseen Heckler: Mock your foes from the shadows!
Shroud of Shadows: Embrace the darkness, gaining increased powers at the cost of draining away your mana.

---

v1.3 ~ A Deeper Dark

Minor(Except not really) changes
-Veiled Strikes is now Veiled Strike. The plural was weird.
(v1.35 ~ Capitalization is important)-changed combat.lua to Combat.lua, hopefully fixing the Veiled Strike problems once and for all.

Bug fixes
-Vile Aim now properly takes a turn.
-Unveil now properly takes a turn.

Balance changes
-Cunning/Dark Veil buffed from 1.0 mastery to 1.3(The shadowstrike/veiled strike bug forced me to keep it at 1.0 to sync the numbers. Not anymore!)
-Cursed/Gloom nerfed from 1.3 mastery to 1.2
-Cursed/Shadows nerfed from 1.3 mastery to 1.2
-Cursed/Cursed Aura added(locked) at 1.2 mastery. Hopefully this means that if you unlock Cursed Aura via the event, it'll unlock with 1.2 mastery.

Experimental changes(Looking for feedback on these!)
-Vile Aim reverted back to range 3, to match Veiled Strike's range. I'm not 100% sure on this, admittedly.
-Mana regen buffed from 0.5 to 2.5
-Mana rating nerfed from 5 to 4.

---

v1.4 A Minor Darkening

Tooltip fixes

-Unseen Heckler has a more fitting tooltip
-Vile Aim, Shadow Net and Unseen Heckler now properly note that they use mind crit. Trying to combine crit types is apparently super hard to do, sadly.
-Changed text spacing on Shadowsense and Unveil. They were sort of wonky before.

Phantoms 1.2.3

Warlock Class 1.2.5

Warlocks are masters of the demonic arts. Clothed in cloth, they excel in using curses, firing bolts of fire or shadow, and summoning demons to help them in combat. Warlocks, while being excellent spell casters, also excel in providing quirky buffs and utility.

A warlock has very powerful abilities that, if used correctly, make them a very formidable opponent. Using their curses in combination with direct damage spells and fears, Warlocks wreak havoc and destruction.

The class is in an alpha stage but is playable.

Warlock Class 1.2.5

Class Talents

Spell / Signets1.30
  • Effective talent level: 6.5
    Use mode: Sustained
    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 14
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: instant
    Description: While sustained, this signet increases the percentage of your health that each of your newly-created illusions receives by 17.

    When you deactivate this signet (which takes no time) it resets the cooldowns on Mind Wrack and Decoy.

    The effects will increase with your Strength.

    Commentary: Superficially similar to the "Resilience" talent for Summoners, but with a different passive benefit calculation. Since Mesmers cannot really wear any armor and have low health, they primarily survive by avoiding damage and by having their illusions take damage for them. As a result, this talent, which buffs illusion health by 5-25%, may actually be closer to "Shielding", which buffs damage shields by 25-60%.
    Signet of Illusions
5/5
  • Effective talent level: 3.9
    Use mode: Sustained
    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 17
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: instant
    Description: While sustained, this signet increases the arcane, light and physical damage you deal by 5.97%.

    When you deactivate this signet (which takes no time) it stuns all foes (power 23) within radius 4 for 3 turns.

    The effects will increase with your Strength.

    Commentary: Mesmers primarily deal arcane, light and physical damage. The scaling (3% per talent level) falls between "Hymn of Shadows" (5-25% over five levels) and "Wildfire" (2% per talent level).
    Signet of Domination
3/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Sustained
    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 90
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: instant
    Description: While sustained, all temporary beneficial effects applied to you have their durations increased by -1 turn(s). Each temporary effect instance can be extended only once. The duration increase is applied whenever you take an action, so ephemeral beneficial effects that last at most one turn (such as Mesmeric Dodge) may not be extended.

    When you deactivate this signet (which takes no time) it blinds all foes (power 23) within radius 1 for 3 turns.

    The effects will increase with your Strength.

    Commentary: This "boon duration and synergy" effect has no general equivalent in ToME. There are talents that increase the durations of particular effects (e.g., only damage shields or only regenerations). This Signet increases all beneficial effects that last more than one turn. This has a pleasant synergy with default Mesmer staff powers, but the clever player will find other fruitful combinations (e.g., buffs from inscriptions or charms, etc.).
    Signet of Midnight
0/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Sustained
    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 90
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: instant
    Description: While sustained, your movement speed is increased by 1%.

    When you deactivate this signet (which takes no time) it creates a burst of celerity, increasing your movement speed by 33% for 1 turn(s). Any actions other than movement will cancel the effect. Note: since you will be moving very fast, game turns will pass very slowly.

    The effects will increase with your Strength.

    Commentary: The passive speed benefit follows "Celerity" (but does not include free item set switching). The burst speed benefit is half as strong as "Lightning Speed". Mobility is critical for Mesmers, and this is the only Mesmer power that increases raw movement speed.
    Signet of Inspiration
0/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Sustained
    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 90
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: instant
    Description: Every three turns while this signet is sustained you heal 0.00 per illusion you control.

    When you deactivate (which takes no time) this signet it creates an ethereal burst, healing you for 20. In addition, the burst resets the cooldowns on the Mirror Blade, Phantasmal Berserker, Phase Retreat, and Phantasmal Warlock talents.

    The effects will increase with your Strength.

    Commentary: This ability helps Mesmers when they need it most: in the middle of a tough battle that requires multiple illusions. When the illusions are gone, the deactivation power resets some of the cooldowns needed to summon more. The passive healing rate scaling (3.0 per illusion per talent level every 3 turns) loosely follows "Fast Metabolism" (about 3.0 per talent level every turn), assuming you can keep three illusions alive.
    Signet of Ether
0/5
Spell / Mantras1.30
  • Effective talent level: 6.5
    Use mode: Activated
    Range: 10
    Cooldown: 1
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: instant
    Is: a spell
    Description: Meditate, charging a spell that will distract your target.

    You store up the energy to use mantras slowly, gaining one charge every 30 turns after last use of any mantra. Once charged, Mantras have no other cooldown and can be used rapidly. Mantra effects increase with Magic.

    Mantra of Distraction confuses (power 50%) and dazes all foes in radius 8 for 4 turn(s) and takes no time to use. Dazed targets cannot move, deal half damage, and have half defense, saves, accuracy, and power. Any damage will break the daze.

    You currently have 3 out of 3 stored charges of Mantra of Distraction.

    Commentary: This Mantra acts as an ersatz mobility power, buying the Mesmer precious turns to escape or heal during a fight. The radius scaling is similar to "Bellowing Roar", but this talent deals no damage.
    Mantra of Distraction
5/5
  • Effective talent level: 3.9
    Use mode: Activated
    Range: 10
    Cooldown: 1
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: instant
    Is: a spell
    Description: Meditate, charging a spell that will damage your target.

    You store up the energy to use mantras slowly, gaining one charge every 30 turns from last use of any mantra. Once charged, Mantras have no other cooldown and can be used rapidly. Mantra effects increase with Magic and the critical chance is based on your magical crit rate.

    Mantra of Pain deals 60.10 arcane and 66.50 light damage to one target and takes no time to use.

    You currently have 2 out of 2 stored charges of Mantra of Pain.

    Commentary: Mesmers typically deal slightly less damage than other "squishy" classes (Archmages, Oozemancers, etc.). This Mantra provides additional damage when other talents are unavailable but does not directly smooth out the Mesmer weapon swap cooldown cycle.
    Mantra of Pain

    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 1

    Description: Meditate, charging a spell that will grant you stability.

    You store up the energy to use mantras slowly, gaining one charge every 30 turns from last use of any mantra. Once charged, Mantras have no other cooldown and can be used rapidly. Mantra effects increase with Magic.

    Mantra of Concentration grants you free action for 1 turns. This prevents all stuns, dazes, and pinning effects. Mantra of Concentration takes no time to use.

    You currently have 0 out of 0 stored charges of Mantra of Concentration.

    Commentary: This is the free action effect from "Infusion: Movement", but without the wild speed movement bonus. Mesmers have no innate way to gain resistance to stunning, dazing or pinning, so talents that remove such effects are critical.

    Mantra of Resolve removes 1 detrimental effect(s) currently afflicting you, chosen at random. It takes no time to use.

    You currently have 0 out of 0 stored charges of Mantra of Resolve.

    Commentary: Mesmers have no innate way to gain elemental resistance or resistance to stuns, dazes and the like. Talents that can remove control or damage-over-time effects are thus critical.
    Mantra of Resolve

    Description: Meditate, charging a spell that will restore your health.

    You store up the energy to use mantras slowly, gaining one charge every 30 turns since last use of any mantra. Once charged, Mantras have no other cooldown and can be used rapidly. Mantra effects increase with Magic.

    Mantra of Recovery restores 39.31 health. Mantra of Recovery takes no time to use.

    You currently have 0 out of 0 stored charges of Mantra of Recovery.

    Commentary: The scaling is the average of "Arcane Reconstruction" and "Healing Light". As befitting a high-level talent, this acts as an emergency "get out of jail free" card, but note that the low health and lack of armor on a Mesmer mean that one-shots remain a danger.
    Mantra of Recovery
0/5
Spell / Mesmer staff1.30
  • Effective talent level: 6.5
    Use mode: Activated
    Range: 6
    Cooldown: 3
    Travel Speed: 800% of base
    Usage Speed: 1 turn
    Is: a spell
    Description: Bounces an orb of kinetic energy between foes and allies that applies random beneficial effects to allies and harmful conditions to foes.

    Damage to foes: 43.66 physical damage, plus one of:
    either 113.44 illusion arcane damage over 4 turns
    or 125.51 illusion light damage over 4 turns.
    In addition, weapon "on melee hit" effects can trigger.

    If illusion damage over time would be applied to a victim already suffering from that type of ongoing illusion, the resonance causes the entire previous illusion damage to be dealt at once before the new illusion effect is applied.

    Effect to allies: Mesmeric Overload (+10% to all damage per application, max 50%) for 5 turns.

    After the attack the mesmer steps back one square away from the target.

    The bolt can bounce to a creature within range 6 of the last target up to 4 times. A creature cannot be struck by multiple bounces from the same use of this talent. Note that because of the bouncing you can profitably aim this talent at a friendly target, such as an illusion. The effects increase with Magic and the critical chance is based on your spell crit rate.

    Commentary: This is one of three staple Mesmer powers. It reinforces a focus on ranged attacks and mobility. The cooldown and damage follow "Flame", except that Flame is dealt over 3 turns while this is dealt over 4 (further encouraging mobility). Stacking Mesmeric Overload from illusions can result in a substantial damage increase during long-running fights, but requires investment in this talent to raise the cap.
    Winds of Chaos
5/5
  • Effective talent level: 3.9
    Use mode: Activated
    Range: 3
    Cooldown: 6
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: instant
    Is: a spell
    Description: Teleports you to up to 3 tiles away, to a targeted location in line of sight.

    In addition, an illusionary clone will be created at your old location. The illusionary clone has 20% of your health (plus a 13% bonus from signets), deals 4% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos and Spatial Surge at the same levels you do. On death, the illusion heals you for 31. Newly-created illusions are invulnerable for one turn. Illusions disappear after five turns without an enemy target. It serves largely to distract foes.

    This spell takes no time to cast.

    Commentary: An iconic Mesmer ability, Phase Retreat is commonly used to escape melee foes as well as to dodge projectiles and area-of-effect attacks. The cooldown is the same as "Phase Door" and the instant perfect control follows "Dimensional Step", but the range is significantly lower than both.
    Phase Retreat
3/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Activated
    Range: 4
    Cooldown: 18
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: 1 turn
    Is: a spell
    Description: Summons an illusionary clone of you in an empty square in range 4. After the summoning the Mesmer steps back one square away from the target.

    The illusionary clone has 0% of your health (plus a 13% bonus from signets), deals 70% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos and Spatial Surge at the same levels you do. On death, the illusion heals you for 31. Newly-created illusions are invulnerable for one turn. Illusions disappear after five turns without an enemy target.

    When using Winds of Chaos, the illusion deals an additional 10% damage to a foe for each detrimental effect currently afflicting that foe.

    Commentary: Phantasms have more health and deal more damage than normal illusionary clones. Between the Mesmeric Overload buff from Winds of Chaos and this phantasm's bonus based on enemy conditions, this talent has the potential to double your damage output -- if it can be kept alive.

    Description: Surround yourself with chaos armor for -20 turns. When you are struck, you receive a random beneficial attack and your foe receives a random detrimental attack.

    Beneficial: Heal for 19.
    Beneficial: Earthen Barrier (reduces incoming physical damage by 31%) for 5 turns.
    Beneficial: Out of Phase (increases defense by 31, reduces incoming negative effect duration by 31%) for 5 turns.

    Detrimental: Confused (50% chance) for 5 turns.
    Detrimental: Crippled (30% melee, spell and mental speed) for 5 turns.
    Detrimental: Blinded (power 31) for 5 turns.

    Effects increase with Magic.

    Commentary: An iconic Mesmer power. The healing scaling follows "Healing Light". Commonly used when a tough foe has cornered the Mesmer and is in melee range. Be careful, however: if you are a Mesmer and foes are hitting you repeatedly, you are probably already about to lose.

    Description: Summon a chaotic magical storm of radius 0 for 6 turns. Each turn the storm applies a beneficial effect to allies. Each turn the the storm applies damage and one random detrimental effect to foes.

    Damage: 3.84 physical. In addition, weapon "on melee hit" effects can trigger.
    Detrimental: Stunned for three turns (power 31.00).
    Detrimental: Frozen for three turns (power 31.00).
    Detrimental: Poisoned for 10.06 damage over three turns.
    Detrimental: Weakened for three turns (power 33).

    Beneficial: Mesmeric Overload (+10% to all damage per application, max 0%) for 5 turns.

    After summoning the storm the mesmer steps back one square away from the target.

    The effects will increase with your Magic. This talent does not generate critical hits.

    Commentary: An iconic Mesmer power, and their only real source of area denial and true area-of-effect control. The damage to foes is immaterial compared to the crowd control effects, which are re-applied every turn as foes sit in the storm: forcing a foe to walk through a Chaos Storm is a significant advantage. Dually, sitting in one's own Chaos Storm can yield growing damage bonuses from stacks of Mesmeric Overload.

    Cooldown: 3
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: 1 turn
    Description: Conjures a spatial disturbance beam that can hit multiple foes. The damage increases with your Strength and your distance to the target. The critical chance is based on your physical crit rate. After the attack the mesmir steps back one square away from the target.

    Range 8+: 168.60 physical damage
    Range 7: 151.74 physical damage
    Range 6: 134.88 physical damage
    Range 5: 118.02 physical damage

    Range 3: 84.30 physical damage
    Range 2: 67.44 physical damage
    Range 1: 50.58 physical damage
    In addition, weapon "on melee hit" effects can trigger.

    Commentary: This is one of three staple Mesmer powers. It reinforces a focus on long-range attacks and mobility. The cooldown and damage follow "Lightning", but the damage total is based on distance instead of being based on chance.

  • Effective talent level: 3.9
    Use mode: Activated
    Range: 10
    Cooldown: 8
    Travel Speed: 800% of base
    Usage Speed: 1 turn
    Description: Bounces an illusionary greatsword between foes and allies. The sword applies random beneficial effects to allies and harmful conditions to foes. After the attack the Mesmer steps back one square away from the target.

    Base damage to foes: 80.13 physical damage. The damage will increase with Strength and the critical chance is based on your physical crit rate. In addition, weapon "on melee hit" effects can trigger.
    Extra effect to foes: Weakened for three turns (power 33).
    Effect to allies: Power Overload (+10% to all damage per application, max 30%) for 10 turns.

    The bolt can bounce to a creature within range 6 of the last target up to 3 times. No creature will be struck twice by the same bolt.

    In addition, an illusionary clone is created adjacent to your current location. The illusionary clone has 20% of your health (plus a 13% bonus from signets), deals 4% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos and Spatial Surge at the same levels you do. On death, the illusion heals you for 31. Newly-created illusions are invulnerable for one turn. Illusions disappear after five turns without an enemy target. It serves largely to distract foes.

    Commentary: The damage scaling follows "Flameshock". This does not stun but does have a lower cooldown and creates an illusion.

    Description: Slices an illusionary greatsword through the target area. Each foe within a radius -1 of the target is struck for 13.39 physical damage and has up to 0 beneficial temporary effect(s) or sustained talent(s) removed. In addition, weapon "on melee hit" effects can occur. After the attack the Mesmer steps back one square away from the target. The damage increases with Strength and the critical chance is based on your physical crit rate.

    Commentary: The damage scaling follows "Fireflash", but the radius here is smaller and the cooldown is higher. Removing beneficial effects from foes is thematic to the Mesmer.

    Description: Summons an illusionary clone of you in an empty square in range 8. After the attack the mesmer steps one square away from the target.

    The illusionary clone has 20% of your health (plus a 13% bonus from signets), deals 70% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Combat Accuracy and Illusionary Death Dance at this level. On death, the illusion heals you for 31. Newly-created illusions are invulnerable for one turn. Illusions disappear after five turns without an enemy target. Illusionary Death Dance can be used every other turn: the illusion attacks all foes in radius 2 for 140% of weapon damage and cripples them, reducing their speeds by 33% for one turn.

    Commentary: Phantasms have more health and deal more damage than normal illusionary clones. Illusionary Death Dance follows "Death Dance" but with radius 2 (recall: illusions cannot move) and an additional cripple. This is the only Memser talent that uses attacks to inflict direct weapon damage; the illusion can miss.

    Description: Push back all foes in front of you with waves of magical energy. Sends out three consecutive blast waves in a 1 radius cone to foes. Each wave separately deals 3.06 physical damage, applies weapon "on hit" effects, and knocks victims back by two squares. The blast waves usually hit foes more then once, depending on the radius and the knockback effect.

    After the attack the mesmer steps back one square away from the target.

    The damage will scale with your Strength.

    Commentary: The radius and damage loosely follow "Repulsion Blast", but with a 50% damage increase (instead of Paradox scaling) and 700% cooldown increase. This is typically a last-ditch talent for Mesmers who are out of mobility talents.

Spell / Mesmer utility1.30
  • Effective talent level: 6.5
    Use mode: Activated
    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 23
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: instant
    Is: a mind power
    Description: Gain invisibility for 3 turns (power 30, reduces outgoing damage by 50%). This talent takes no time to use.

    In addition, 3 illusionary clone(s) of you is created adjacent to your current location (if open space is available). The illusionary clone has 34% of your health (plus a 13% bonus from signets), deals 6% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos and Spatial Surge at the same levels you do. On death, the illusion heals you for 31. Newly-created illusions are invulnerable for one turn. Illusions disappear after five turns without an enemy target. Each illusion serves largely to distract foes.

    Effects increase with Cunning.

    Commentary: The duration scaling follows "Unstoppable". Invisibility is iconic for illusionist Mesmers, and this utility power provides access to it at low levels (but at 50% reduced damage instead of the usual 40%). The invisibility and the clone(s) serve to make this a useful escape power, but be wary of waiting until foes are in melee range to use it, since some foes will see through the invisibility.

    Is: a mind power
    Description: Heal yourself for 164, plus 16 per active illusion you control.

    Effects increase with Cunning.

    Commentary: The scaling and cooldown follow "Healing Light" but at a higher talent requirement. Repeated, weak healing that takes time is a Mesmer hallmark. Much like Archmages and similar squishy casters, Mesmers need early access to healing for survival. The weak-but-reusable nature of this heal provides actions for Mesmers to smooth out their weapon-swap-cooldown cycle.

    Is: a mind power
    Description: You create a mesmeric portal, bridging the space between yourself and a point within range. You immediately step through, leaving behind a pair of linked portal entrances. If you step on either portal you will be teleported to the other. The portals will last 2 turns. You may choose the general exit location target area (radius 10 within range).

    The effects scale with your Cunning.

    Commentary: The allies-only temporary portal is an iconic Mesmer power. The scaling and effects here follow "Wormhole" almost directly, but with one end of the portal under the Mesmer's feet and the other at an almost-random point in range (often into an unexplored area). This is provides a crucial but chancy additional escape power for Mesmers, and at higher levels can also be used for profitable back-and-forth kiting.

    In addition, while this effect is active, you will only die when reaching -16 life. However, when below 0 you cannot see how much life you have left.

    The effect will always increase your three highest stats and scales with your Cunning.

    Commentary: The effects follow "Infusion: Heroism". This provides another last-second saving grace power for squishy Mesmers. The relatively long duration should allow Mesmers losing a fight to escape and recover.

    The effects increase with your Cunning.

    Commentary: The primary advantage of this power is the high health of the illusionary clone. This allows it to serve either as an indirect damage shield while you fight or as a long-lived distraction while you flee.

    Use mode: Activated
    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 9
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: 1 turn
    Is: a mind power
    Description: Detonate all of your active illusions, harming every foe within radius 2 of one of your illusions.

    Damage: 112 light and 102 arcane.
    Stunned: 8 turn(s) (power 30, from Diversion).
    Confusion: 0 turn(s) (power 50%, from Cry of Frustration).
    Pre-Detonation Pull: foes in radius 0 (from Into the Void).

    Invisibility: 0 turn(s) per detonated illusion (power 30, reduces outgoing damage by 40%, from Distortion).

    Effects increase with Cunning. The critical chance is based on your mental crit rate.

    Commentary: This is an iconic Mesmer ability. When illusions are about to die -- or when you want to end a fight early -- they can be detonated to harm or cripple foes. The scaling is 150% the damage dealt by the icy spell "Shatter". Mind Wrack is harder to aim, requires and destroys illusions, and does not inflict control effects without additional talent points spent elsewhere. It does have the potential to hit multiple targets, however, and foes surrounded by multiple illusions can be hit multiple times.
    Mind Wrack
5/5
  • Effective talent level: 3.9
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: Mind Wrack now stuns foes within range of your detonated illusions. Foes are stunned (power 30) for 8 turn(s). The effect increases with your Cunning.

    Commentary: These talents improve Mind Wrack in the same fashion that the Rampage or Shadow trees improve their base talents. Stunning may give the Mesmer a chance to escape now that all of its illusions are gone.
    Diversion

  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: Mind Wrack now confuses foes within range of your detonated illusions. Foes are confused (power 50%) for 0 turn(s).

    Commentary: These talents improve Mind Wrack in the same fashion that the Rampage and Shadow trees improve their base talents. Confusion is rare, but if the Mesmer is lucky it can be more useful than stunning.
    Cry of Frustration

    Description: Mind Wrack now takes you out of phase with reality, rendering you Invisible for 0 turn(s) cumulative per illusion shattered with power 14 cumulative per illusion shattered. As you become invisible you fade out of phase with reality: all of your damage is reduced by 40%. (Reminder: you may cancel beneficial temporary effects early if you so desire.) The effect increases with your Cunning.

    Commentary: This provides another flavor of post-Wrack escape for the higher-level Mesmer.

    Description: Just before each of your illusions detonates via Mind Wrack, it pulls all foes within radius 0 toward itself. (The order in which illusions detonate is unspecified. Multiple illusions can pull the same foe.)

    Cooldown: 5
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: 1 turn
    Is: a mind power
    Description: Perform a mesmeric dodge, teleporting you to an open square within range.

    During the dodge you become out of phase with reality (100% resist all, 100% detrimental effect duration reduction) for one turn, rendering you almost invulnerable.

    In addition, during the dodge you quickly swap your current weapon set and your alternate weapon set.

    At Talent level 2, you also create an illusionary clone of yourself in your old location. The illusionary clone has 11% of your health (plus a 13% bonus from signets), deals 2% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos and Spatial Surge at the same levels you do. On death, the illusion heals you for 31. Newly-created illusions are invulnerable for one turn. Illusions disappear after five turns without an enemy target. It serves largely to distract foes.

    Commentary: This is one of three staple Mesmer powers. It reinforces a focus on ranged attacks and mobility. Perhaps most importantly, it greatly facilities the Mesmer's weapon swap cooldown cycle. A canny Mesmer might use a few greatsword powers until those are on cooldown and foes are in range, and then dodge-and-switch to staff powers. Using staff powers gives some greatsword powers time to complete their cooldowns, so on the next dodge-and-switch the cycle repeats. Mesmers care significantly about swapping weapon sets, but unlike Temporal Wardens they cannot swap for free at will. Instead, they must either use Mesmeric Dodge or spend a turn manually swapping.

2/2
  • Effective talent level: 2.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: At Talent level 1, this trait has no effect.

    At Talent level 2, all illusions you create release a slowing backlash when destroyed, crippling all foes in radius 2 (reducing their speed by 33%) for 3 turns. This occurs whenever an illusion dies for any reason (e.g., intentional Mind Wrack, lethal damage from enemies, etc.). In addition, your Winds of Chaos and Spatial Surge talents knock foes back by 1 square.

    Commentary: Mesmeric Traits are minor passive benefits that require a significant investment of character development resources (cf. "Feats" in other RPGs). Crippling foes that kill illusions and knocking back foes via basic attacks significantly improve a Mesmer's ability to escape melee range and kite enemies.

    Use mode: Passive
    Description: At Talent level 1, this trait has no effect.

    At Talent level 2, all illusions you create have a +20% increased critical hit chance on all attacks. In addition, creating an illusion reduces your current remaining Mantra meditation recharge time by 50%.

    Commentary: Mesmeric Traits are minor passive benefits that require a significant investment of character development resources (cf. "Feats" in other RPGs). This trait directly increases illusion damage -- typically by about 10%, but the exact amount depends on your critical chance and critical damage multiplier. It also supports a Mantra-heavy build, but recall that any Mantra use still resets the recharge time, so strictly alternating Mantra uses with illusion creations is "not a combo."
    Illusionary Frenzy

  • Effective talent level: 2.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: At Talent level 1, this trait has no effect.

    At Talent level 2, whenever you de-activate a signet its mesmeric energies purge one temporary detrimental effect from you, chosen at random.

    Commentary: Mesmeric Traits are minor passive benefits that require a significant investment of character development resources (cf. "Feats" in other RPGs). This trait further rewards Mesmers who have invested in Signets. It can be easy to forget about the burst de-activation powers of Signets, and this trait provides an additional incentive. Mesmers have no innate resistance to stuns, dazes, lingering elemental damage, etc., and thus treasure every option for removing negative status effects.
    Cleansing Signets

  • Effective talent level: 2.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: At Talent level 1, this trait has no effect.

    At Talent level 2, whenever one of your illusions dies you scavenge some of its etheric essence and heal yourself for 31. The effect scales with Cunning.

    Commentary: Mesmeric Traits are minor passive benefits that require a significant investment of character development resources (cf. "Feats" in other RPGs). This trait encourages a mobility-and-shatter playstyle by providing extra durability.
