Faerie Race 1.2.3

This addon adds in a Faerie, or Fey, race into ToME. This addon was originally created by Kaballah, but he hasn't been online in over a year.
Instead of letting it die (I mean, how could we not be able to play as a Faerie?) I decided to fork it over into a playable form.
I've taken it, modified it's values, and changed it's 4th talent.
You can nab it here.

---

The Fey are an incredibly quick and agile race, however they are incredibly fragile.
You will have to make use of their blinding speed to survive encounters.
If you find yourself in trouble, you can spray some Fey Dust onto nearby enemies while you escape.

---

Dark Faeries are Faeries that have given up much of their natural agility and defense in exchange for bonus offensive potency.
They are extremely frail, even more so than their more agile counterparts, but make up for it with faster offense, higher damage, and many different tricks.
Despite all thoughts otherwise, they are still, mostly, a playful bunch to be around, if not a bit more painful in their method of invitation.

Class Talents

Spell / Signets1.30
  • 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 percentage of your health that each of your newly-created illusions receives by 0.

    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
0/5
  • 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 0.43%.

    When you deactivate this signet (which takes no time) it stuns all foes (power 13) 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 13) 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 32% 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 17. 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 / 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: 18.84 physical damage, plus one of:
    either 61.87 illusion arcane damage over 4 turns
    or 56.52 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.
    Winds of Chaos
2/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Activated
    Range: 3
    Cooldown: 15
    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 1% of your health, deals 0% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos and Spatial Surge 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.
    Phase Retreat
0/5
  • 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, deals 70% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos and Spatial Surge 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.

    Phantasmal Warlock
0/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Activated
    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 35
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: instant
    Is: a spell
    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 13.
    Beneficial: Earthen Barrier (reduces incoming physical damage by 16%) for 5 turns.
    Beneficial: Out of Phase (increases defense by 16, reduces incoming negative effect duration by 16%) for 5 turns.

    Detrimental: Confused (50% chance) for 5 turns.
    Detrimental: Crippled (30% melee, spell and mental speed) for 5 turns.
    Detrimental: Blinded (power 16) 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.
    Chaos Armor
0/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Activated
    Range: 6
    Cooldown: 35
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: 1 turn
    Is: a spell
    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: 2.29 physical. In addition, weapon "on melee hit" effects can trigger.
    Detrimental: Stunned for three turns (power 16.00).
    Detrimental: Frozen for three turns (power 16.00).
    Detrimental: Poisoned for 6.88 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.

    Chaos Storm

Spell / Mesmer greatsword1.30
  • Effective talent level: 1.3
    Use mode: Activated
    Range: 12
    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+: 56.92 physical damage
    Range 7: 51.23 physical damage
    Range 6: 45.54 physical damage
    Range 5: 39.84 physical damage
    Range 4: 34.15 physical damage
    Range 3: 28.46 physical damage
    Range 2: 22.77 physical damage
    Range 1: 17.08 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.
    Spatial Surge
1/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    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: 5.56 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 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, deals 0% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos and Spatial Surge 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.
    Mirror Blade
0/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Activated
    Range: 10
    Cooldown: 12
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: 1 turn
    Description: Slices an illusionary greatsword through the target area. Each foe within a radius -1 of the target is struck for 9.54 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.
    Mind Stab
0/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Activated
    Range: 8
    Cooldown: 20
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    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.

    The illusionary clone has 20% of your health, deals 70% 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.
    Phantasmal Berserker
0/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Activated
    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 28
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: 1 turn
    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 1.89 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.

    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 2 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 0 out of 0 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 5.54 arcane and 5.06 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.

    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.

    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 33.01 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.

Generic Talents

Spell / Mesmer utility1.30
  • Effective talent level: 1.3
    Use mode: Activated
    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 42
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: instant
    Is: a mind power
    Description: Gain invisibility for 1 turns (power 14, 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, deals 1% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos and Spatial Surge 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.

    Description: Heal yourself for 13, plus 1 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.

    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.

    Description: Surround yourself with an illusion of life. This increases three of your primary stats by 0 for 1 turn(s).

    In addition, while this effect is active, you will only die when reaching -13 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.

    Use mode: Activated
    Range: 2
    Cooldown: 30
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: 1 turn
    Is: a mind power
    Description: Summons an illusionary clone of you in an empty square in range 2.

    The illusionary clone has 13% of your health, deals 0% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos and Spatial Surge 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 your foes.

    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: Passive
    Description: You notice the small things others do not notice, allowing you to "see" creatures in a 1 radius even outside of light radius.
    This is not telepathy, however, and it is still limited to line of sight.
    Also, your attention to detail allows you to detect traps around you (0 detection &    039;).
    At level 3, you learn to disarm known traps (0 disarm &    039;).
    The trap detection and disarming ability improves with your Cunning.

    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 6% of your health, deals 1% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos and Spatial Surge 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.

    Mesmeric Dodge
1/2
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    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.

    Crippling Illusions
0/2
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    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: 0.0
    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: 0.0
    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 3. 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.

Spell / Shatter illusions1.30
  • Effective talent level: 1.3
    Use mode: Activated
    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 14
    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: 31 light and 34 arcane.
    Stunned: 0 turn(s) (power 14, 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 14, 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
1/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: Mind Wrack now stuns foes within range of your detonated illusions. Foes are stunned (power 14) for 0 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
0/5
  • 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
0/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: Mind Wrack now takes you out of phase with reality, rendering you Invisible for 0 turn(s) cumulative per illusion shattered with power 6 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.
    Distortion
0/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Passive
    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.)

    Commentary: This is a flavorful way of increasing the effective range of Mind Wrack while providing an indirect escape for the Mesmer.

Race / Dark-faerie1.00
  • Effective talent level: 1.0
    Use mode: Passive

    This allows faster casting and combat speeds, and makes the Dark Fey deal bonus damage.
    +22% Casting Speed, +11% Combat Speed, and +6% damage.
    The effect doubles if below 60%(43) health, and triples if below 30%(22) health.
    Bonus speeds scale with Dexterity or Magic, whichever is higher.
    Bonus Damage scales with Luck and your Character Level.
    (Magic scales at a slower pace, however the game will always use the higher of the two values. Thus, you may not notice an improvement until some Magic investment.)

    Description: Dark Faeries still retain some of their innate luck, but have lost the power to convert it into a shield.
    Instead they create a clone of themself every time they attack. (This has a cooldown.)
    These clones have 10% of your health, have all your talents, deals 50% of your base damage, and last 2 turns.
    Also improves your luck by 0, and your saves by 0.
