I'm trying to build an illusion mesmer hero to run with my discordway. Fevered Dreams looks nice... but it's only useful against mutliple healers. Because otherwise, targets just die too fast and heroes will waste a lot of time casting it when it's not needed. Tease looks decent too, but I'm trying to find an elite that does damage.

Anyway, here's my idea:

Fragility
Clumsiness
Wandering Eye
Incendiary Arrows
Distracting shot
Power Drain
Drain Enchantment
Waste Not Want Not

At 4 WS, IA does 2 seconds of burning, combined with fragility, it'll do 68 AoE damage every ~6-7 seconds.

Definitly interesting, make sure to equip that shortbow though!

This is for a hero? I'd love to see Norgu actually do this correctly - i.e. cast Fragility, then use IA on that same target immediately after.

through past experience with heroes and waste not, want not, they basically never use it because the only time pve enemies aren't really attack is when theyre bugged or knocked down.

The rest looks really interesting.

I missed the update where holding a bow caused spells to fail, but I agree that I'll never see it.

Whats all this about weapon switching? Just give the hero a bow. As zelgadissan said, Its not like they need to have a wand if they are a caster.

possibily a low spec (already at 4ws) apply poision or bleeding prep? givin an extra condition. and or maybe "you are all weeklings"? Not sure how super effective it will be..but could well be a fun to tinker with.

After I saw the buff to fragility I instantly thought conditionway would somehow make it's way into the pve meta. This could definitely start the ball rolling. I thought of something like the mandragors at first but this idea looks pretty sweet and could be very interesting with a few tweaks. For a human player cry of pain should work quite well but I see the logic in using interrupts on heroes too. Are there any quick ending condition causing skills like IA? This would be pretty sweet too with a human player with cry of pain and those crystal dupes too. Is the damage from fragility armor-ignoring? Oh lol this would be awesome with discord! I see the synergy.

what about just glyph of immulation

then fragilty itself would burn and power drain etc... and you could just keep a caster set on your hero

PS you may have to micro manage the glyph

[Fragility] + [Virulence] with a very low death magic sounds pretty fun. If you can add in [Epidemic] it sounds even more fun. I'm not sure how well it would work in practice, but it sounds fun.

When using Glyph of Immolation to cast fragility, the initial burning does not trigger fragility but the end does.
