Key Concepts

Recently buffed with 游牧民的耐力 and 幻影痛苦 changes, Power Mirage is seeing some plays again in Ranged compositions and unorganized squads.

Revolving around 分裂涌流 from Greatsword, it provides sustained Damage and remarkable cleave from Range.

Our whole build is gonna be focused around maximizing 分裂涌流 Damage, mainly through the use of 无限视界 and 欺诈闪避.

Dealing Damage

Well of Corruption Spike

This build entirely revolves around managing your Endurance and therefore is very cyclic. Though, you still get frequent bursts you can line up on the important Cooldowns of your squad :

Your main burst, in particular on 腐化法池 call, should be :

1. 双面镜像
2. Dodge
3. 分裂涌流
4. 镜像飞刃
5. 心灵穿刺
6. Dodge
7. 分裂涌流

Keep weapon swapping on Cooldown in order to proc 超级能量法印 and refill your Endurance bar as quickly as possible. Make sure you are not over 50 Endurance when doing so, or dodge right before to avoid wasting it.

Use wisely your Deception skills when you have one Clone already up in order to proc 自欺欺人 and get extra Clones for your ambushes, which are extra Damage due to 无限视界.

幻影狂战 Clones will spawn in melee Range and instantly be killed. Make sure to not have 3 Ranged Clones up when using it as they will get replaced by these melee Clones you wont have any value from.

can be used to disrupt enemy rezzes or mitigation and make the opponent frontline more vulnerable to your own squad hits.

Defense

As you will have a consequent Dodge uptime, it will obviously be one of your main way to survive. As a Mesmer specialization you are naturally frail due to your base low Armor and medium HP.

Additionally, you obviously have the class mechanic, Distortion, in order to negate all incoming Damages for a short duration.

and are your Stunbreaks. The latter is also useful to disengage with the small leap back it does.

is a really good skill allowing us to teleport at short Ranges to avoid dying. Mind using it wisely as it is the only mobility tool of our build. In the other hand it can be used as an offensive gap close but it is adviced to keep it for self-survivability.

Rotation Notes

Since Endurance is the main ressource of this build, it is important to keep track of your Weapon Swap Cooldown. You will want to be swapping as soon as possible anytime you have the opportunity in order to get full value from and get as many Dodges off as possible.

You can keep your Weapon Swap when you expect to kill enemy players as you will have multiple procs of .

Even if they aren't efficient, you should use Shatters to keep stacking as Power Mirage really these modifiers to function.
