Ashes of Urh'Rok 1.2.4

Official Expansion!

Many in Maj'Eyal have heard of "demons", sadistic creatures who appear seemingly from nowhere, leaving a trail of suffering and destruction whereever they go. Their Fearscape floats far above the skies, watching and waiting, but not idly; their agents scout the land, their legions build up their forces, and their scholars develop new spells and strategies. As the barrier between our worlds begins to crack under their scrutiny, helpless Eyalites have begun to disappear, whisked up to serve as their slaves and playthings. They imbue these victims with magical powers to better survive the ensuing stresses - can you use your new-found abilities to escape the legions of Mal'Rok?

Features:

  • Start with a new class, the Doombringer! These avatars of demonic destruction charge into battle with massive two-handed weapons, cutting swaths of firey devastation through hordes of opponents. Armed with flame magic and demonic strength, they delight in fighting against overwhelming odds, softening up the crowd with waves of fire, then feeding on the flames and suffering of their surroundings to stay alive while quickly reducing any group to a pile of ash and gore.
  • Unlock a new class, the Demonologist, with an all-new item enhancement mechanic! Bearing a shield and the magic of the Spellblaze itself, these melee-fighting casters can grow demonic seeds from their fallen enemies. Imbue these seeds onto your items to gain a wide array of new talents and passive benefits, and summon the demons within them to fight on your side! Ever looked at a gigantic demon-cursed minotaur and wished it was on your side for once? Well, now you CAN summon one to pound your foes into paste while you cast devastating spells from afar, or call forth a squad of Fire Imps to pelt your enemies to death while they exhaust themselves on your impenetrable defenses! Demons have persistent health, making them a little more precious than disposable necromancer skeletons or summoner beasts, but can be revived from death nonetheless.
  • Two new zones, with all-new art, foes, and bosses! You've seen the plains of the Fearscape before, now see the lairs and headquarters of the demons themselves!
  • Over 10,000 words of written lore to find! The demons were once an enlightened, peaceful race, hailing from a distant planet known as Mal'Rok; learn what drove them to plot Eyal's eternal torture! Discover monuments to each of the demonic species and noteworthy individuals, showing the place of honor each has among them! Get a glimpse into the culture and daily lives of these sadistic invaders and their brainwashed thralls!
  • Unlock a new race, Doomelves: Shalore who've taken to the demonic alterations especially well, corrupting their typical abilities into a darker form. Blink away to safety, transform into a shadowy dúathedlen to hide in the shadows or prey on your foes with blasts of darkness, use your new resilience to soak up status effects and critical hits, and assault your enemies' minds to leave them unsteady in combat!
  • Between the aforementioned classes and Doomelves, a whopping 75 new talents!
  • Unlock two new cosmetic options! You know you've always wanted demon-horns.
  • Two new events, appearing anywhere in Eyal!
  • 20 new artifacts, with unique and interesting effects. Collect the Obsidian Treasures to amass more and more power! Slip your hands into the Will of Ul'Gruth and watch your sweeping blows smash down walls! Wear a giant hideous hell-mouth as a fashionable belt!
  • 7 new achievements! Conquer the worst Urh'Rok's forces can throw at you, and hang their metaphorical skulls from your profile page!

Mesmer 1.2.5

A magical class based on creating and shattering illusions.

Mesmer 1.2.5

Forgeknight 1.2.5

The basic idea behind the class of the Forge Knight is that of armor and weapon crafting. While item manipulation is already part of the game in form of some talents like Stone Alchemy's Imbue item or Finer energy manipulations' Reshape Weapon/Armour, class talents of the Forge Knight go one step further and allow the recreation of a piece of armour (body, helm, shield) or weapon (metallic, non-archery). The underlying crafting process is pretty simple: an existing item is being used as raw material for the creation of a new item of the same basic type and subtype. The original item is being consumed during the crafting process. Crafted items are initially basic items (white display colour) enhanced by certain bonuses like combat damage or armour and defense values. The development of passive talents allows for a broader spectrum of enhancements on the crafted weapon. Eventually, a Forge Knight learns to craft items with innate extra properties, like a developed ego (green/blue/violett display-colours) and powerful talents, which the Forge Knight gains access to while wielding the crafted item .

In addition to two talent types dedicated to crafting (weapons, armours), the Forge Knight gets two additional unique talent types (class, generic) covering combat and passives, as well as several talent types from those normally available to members of the warrior classtree.

The class idea was partly inspired by the concept of the Enchanter class in Arcanum from House Pet, which I had alot of fun with, and the desire to build a variation of a smith-class, which doesn't exist so far in Maj'Eyal.

Addendum:

- Fixed compatibility with grayswandirs weapons pack: alternative damage modificators are now enhanced too.
- Bonuses now scale with ego-multipliers: Two Handed Weapons get slightly better bonuses, daggers slightly worse.
- Added/changed on-hit-talents.

Reduced Abuse:

- any antimagic item that is being used for forging will result in forged items with an antimagic powersource
- if reforging uniques, that are infused by arcane powers, the reforged unique will also be infused by arcane powers
- all forged items are now considered being either egoed (green, blue, violet display colour) or rare (brown display colour)
- points invested into the talent trees of armor and weapon forging can't be redistributed afterwards anymore (no 'respeccing' in towns)

Revision:

- removed access to regular shield/dualwielding/2handed-talent-trees from the Forge Knight
- added two new talent trees, that cover combat skills that work regardless if you fight using a shield, dualwielding or with a twohanded weapon (albeit with different effects)
- added the ability to switch weapon sets without spending a turn, so Forge Knights can make most use of all the weapons they are able to craft, depending on situation

Refine & Restore:

- Refine Items: Learning or putting a point into the talents "Armour Forging" or "Weapon Forging" gives access to a skill, that lets you upgrade your forged items towards your current skill level in the different talents of the forge group. Only properties that were put onto a forged item via the forge-skill previously will be affected and only items that have been forged after this patch can be refined.
- Restore Artifact: Learning or putting a point into the talents "Artifact Armor Design" or "Artifact Weapon Forging" gives access to a skill, which lets you reverse forging on an unique item of lore (golden display colour) once - to recover the original artefact. Only artefacts reforged after this patch can be restored.
- Fixed an error that would come up if forging items "of the deep".

Forbid Nature / Arcane:

- If you are too distant to nature (e.g. undead), you won't forge items which grant you wild-gift-talents anymore (unless you forge items powered by antimagic forces).
- If you are a follower of zigur, you won't craft items which grant you spellbased-talents anymore.
- Distribution of cd-reductions and talent-masteries on items hasn't been changed and stays completely random

Refinement Fix:

- Fixed an issue, where after refining an equiped weapon or armor some properties (like resists) wouldn't be registered properly
- Power Catalyst: Mind now helps you regaining lost equilibrium when resting

Small Fix (15.01.2015):
- Prevention measure related to a reported lua error

Fix weapons_of_projection (24.01.2015):
- forged weapons with the ego "of projection" should now cooldown properly
- no more lua errors incase you you have a weapon without material level (tier definition) in your inventory

      Spell / Signets1.30
      • Effective talent level: 1.3
        Use mode: Sustained
        Range: melee/personal
        Cooldown: 27
        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 6.

        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
      		1/5
      • Effective talent level: 0.0
        Use mode: Sustained
        Range: melee/personal
        Cooldown: 90
        Travel Speed: instantaneous
        Usage Speed: instant
        Description: While sustained, this signet increases the arcane, light and physical damage you deal by 0.50%.

        When you deactivate this signet (which takes no time) it stuns all foes (power 16) within radius 1 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
      		0/5
      • 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 16) 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 22% 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 14. 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.

      Spell / Mantras1.30
      • Effective talent level: 1.3
        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 3 for 2 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 1 out of 1 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.

        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 3.82 arcane and 3.82 light damage to one target and takes no time to use.

        You currently have 0 out of 0 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 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.

        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 Recovery restores 30.07 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.

      Spell / Mesmer staff1.30
      • Effective talent level: 2.6
        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: 12.06 physical damage, plus one of:
        either 36.18 illusion arcane damage over 4 turns
        or 36.18 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 20%) 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 3 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.

        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 1% of your health (plus a 6% bonus from signets), deals 0% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos, Spatial Surge and Ether Blast at the same levels you do. 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.

        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 6% bonus from signets), deals 50% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos, Spatial Surge and Ether Blast at the same levels you do. 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 effect and your foe receives a random detrimental effect.

        Beneficial: Heal for 10.
        Beneficial: Earthen Barrier (reduces incoming physical damage by 15%) for 5 turns.
        Beneficial: Out of Phase (increases resists by 15, reduces incoming negative effect duration by 15%) for 5 turns.

        Detrimental: Confused (50% chance) for 5 turns.
        Detrimental: Crippled (30% melee, spell and mental speed) for 5 turns.
        Detrimental: Blinded (power 15) 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: 1.91 physical. In addition, weapon "on melee hit" effects can trigger.
        Detrimental: Stunned for three turns (power 15.00).
        Detrimental: Frozen for three turns (power 15.00).
        Detrimental: Poisoned for 5.74 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.

        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.

        Description: Bounces an illusionary greatblade between foes and allies. The weapon 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: 5.03 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: Mesmeric Overload (+10% to all damage per application, max 0%) 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 1% of your health (plus a 6% bonus from signets), deals 0% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos, Spatial Surge and Ether Blast at the same levels you do. 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 greatblade through the target area. Each foe within a radius -1 of the target is struck for 7.90 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 15% of your health (plus a 6% bonus from signets), deals 50% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Combat Accuracy and Illusionary Death Dance at this level. 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 1.76 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.

        Cooldown: 3
        Travel Speed: instantaneous
        Usage Speed: 1 turn
        Description: Assaults nearby foes with a two-stage attack.

        First, the mesmer creates a range 3 beam that deals light damage to all foes, possibly pinning them. The effects increase with your Strength and your physical crit chance. The mesmer then teleports to the last square in the beam.

        Second, the mesmer creates a radius 3 cone that deals arcane illusion damage to all foes, possibly stunning them. The effects increase with your Magic and your spell crit chance. The mesmer steps back one square away from the cone.

        Beam Damage: 3.15 light damage
        Beam Effect: Pinned for 0 turn(s) (power 16)
        Cone Damage: 3.08 arcane illusion damage (over 4 turns)
        Cone Effect: Stunned for 0 turn(s) (power 15)
        In addition, weapon "on melee hit" effects can trigger.

        Commentary: This flexible talent can either serve as a short-range escape or as a source of disabling and damage. It requires careful positioning to be as damaging as Winds of Chaos or Spatial Surge, however. At low talent levels the mesmer must be dangerously close to foes to be effective -- this is a 'quadratic'-style talent that becomes much more effective around talent level 4. The damage follows "Invoke Darkness" with the addition of pinning and stunning.

        Description: Controls an area with a two-stage attack.

        First, the mesmer creates a cone of radius 2 that pins foes. The mesmer then steps back one square.

        Second, the mesmer creates a spinning trap of light anywhere in radius 2. The trap spins with incredible speed, typically enough to hit each nearby creature twice over about 8 turns. The trap harm foes and help friends in radius 6 (but not those standing directly atop it).

        Cone Effect to foes: Pinned for 0 turn(s) (power 15)
        Cone Effect to foes: Weapon "on melee hit" effects can trigger
        Beam Damage to foes: 3.91 light damage to foes
        Beam Effect to foes: Push 1 square
        Beam Effect to allies: Mesmeric Overload (+10% to all damage per application, max 0%) for 5 turns

        Cone effects increase with Magic. Beam effects increase with Strength and use your physical crit chance.

        Commentary: The created trap follows "Aether Beam" in total damage but with double the radius. While not as effective as Chaos Storm, this talent can serve as reasonable area-of-effect control and damage. However, the relatively long time it takes to deal full damage means tha the mesmer must find other ways to stay alive in the interim.

        Description: Protects and retaliates with a two-stage defense.

        First, the mesmer creates a personal illusionary shield for 1 turns. During turn 1, the shield keeps you out of phase with reality (100% resist all, 100% detrimental effect duration reduction).

        Second, the next 0 time(s) a source of damage would be applied to you, this shield attempts to create an illusionary clone adjacent to the attacker. After each such attack you take one step away from the attacker.

        The illusionary clone has 1% of your health (plus a 6% bonus from signets), deals 0% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos, Spatial Surge and Ether Blast at the same levels you do. 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: Note that distance and line-of-sight are not required for this talent to function. However, unlike other effects that create illusionary clones, this one is not entirely under the Mesmer's control: you must take a hit from a foe to trigger it. It is thus difficult to use proactively, for scouting, or to draw early fire.

        Description: Controls an area and manipulates cooldowns with a two-stage attack.

        First, the mesmer projects a distoring sphere of radius 2 in range 10. Enemies within the sphere are damaged and pulled toward the center. Allies within the sphere are pushed out.

        Second, the mesmer creates a temporal curtain: a wall up to length 9 in range 5 with thickness-radius 1. Whenever a foe interacts with the curtain, up to 0 of that foe's available talents (chosen at random) are placed on a 0 turn cooldown. For each such talent placed on cooldown, one of the mesmer's cooling-down talents (chosen at random) has its timeout reduced by 0 turn(s). Whenever a friendly illusionary clone or phantasm interacts with the wall, one of the illusion's cooldowns is reduced by 1 turn. The wall lasts for 2 turn(s).

        Sphere Damage to foes: 5 light illusion (over 4 turns)
        Sphere Effect to foes: Weapon "on melee hit" effects can trigger
        Curtain Effect to foes: 0 separate 0-turn cooldown transfers
        Curtain Effect to foes: Crippled (30% melee, spell and mental speed) for 3 turns

        Sphere effects increase with Strength and use your physical crit chance.

        Commentary: The sphere effect follows "Gravity Spike". With careful placement the sphere can separate the Mesmer from nearby enemies, allowing the wall to be placed between them. The mesmer has the flexible choice of filling the wall with friendly illusions (allowing them to attack faster) or leaving the wall empty so that foes will walk through it (allowing the mesmer's talents to recover faster). If this talent does not appear to be reducing your cooldowns, recall that most normal foes do not have actionable talents.

        Usage Speed: 1 turn
        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. This illusion is uniquely adaptive: it is the only mesmer illusion capable of moving on its own. It cannot take advantage of "free step" movement built into certain Mesmer powers but can spend its turn to walk after foes.

        The illusionary clone has 12% of your health (plus a 6% bonus from signets), deals 50% of your damage, CAN move, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos, Spatial Surge and Ether Blast at the same levels you do. Newly-created illusions are invulnerable for one turn. Illusions disappear after five turns without an enemy target.

        Commentary: Phantasms have more health and deal more damage than normal illusionary clones. This is the only illusion with even a hint of movement, admitting a range of summoner tactics (e.g., sending the illusion into a foe-filled room you cannot see).

        Description: Gain invisibility for 1 turns (power 16, reduces outgoing damage by 50%). This talent takes no time to use.

        In addition, 1 illusionary clone(s) of you is created adjacent to your current location (if open space is available). The illusionary clone has 8% of your health (plus a 6% bonus from signets), deals 1% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos, Spatial Surge and Ether Blast at the same levels you do. 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.

        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.

        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.

        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 6% bonus from signets), deals 2% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos, Spatial Surge and Ether Blast at the same levels you do. 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.

        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, Spatial Surge and Ether Blast 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.

        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."

        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.

        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.

        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.

      Transmogrification Chest
      Powered by       unknown forces
      2.00 Encumbrance.

      [Plot Item]
      Type: chest / sher'tul

      When carried:
      It can be used to transmogrify all the items in your chest at once (also done automatically when you change level), costing 0 power out of 1000/1000.

      This chest is an extension of old Sher'tul places of power. Any items dropped inside are transported to an other place, processed and destroyed to extract energy.
      The byproduct of this effect is the creation of gold, which is useless to process, so it is sent back to you.

      When you possess the chest all items you walk upon will automatically be put inside and transmogrified when you leave the level.
      Simply go to your inventory to move them out of the chest if you wish to keep them.
      Items in the chest will not encumber you.
