Nerf imminent
Can't wait to try it out for the five minutes before it will get nerfed :D Foo 18:53, 19 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Balancing this skill is all a matter of recharge time. Also, this skill may be an elite, which rules out some of the most powerful combos. --[[Image:TurningL sml.gif|Tetris L]] 04:23, 20 September 2006 (CDT)
 * I predict it will 1) be an elite; 2) have an obscene recharge. Otherwise you're just going to have mesmer support casters running this in GvG alongside Prot Spirit and goodness knows what. Kessel 09:02, 20 September 2006 (CDT)
 * They could make the recharge and duration like the one existing one, Arcane Mimicry, yet make it elite. That sounds pretty balanced &mdash; Skuld 09:29, 20 September 2006 (CDT)

"Mimic" build
This sounds totally awesome. About a week after Guild Wars came out (has it been almost 1.5 years already?), I was messing around with the Inspired skills, thinking I could make a sort of "mimic" mesmer that would steal and use the abilities of its enemies. Unfortunately, the skills didn't work that way, and I even sent a message to ANet asking if it was a bug. It was not, however, and I pretty much just stopped playing that mesmer right then and there.

I'm really hoping that this skill will have a low enough recharge that a "mimic" build will actually be feasible (as opposed to only being able to effectively use a copied ability once every minute or so). 404notfound 19:17, 19 September 2006 (CDT)


 * OR you can use primary attribute skills from your secondary profession. A mesmer can now use Primal Rage or something! Go him! Actually, I'm thinking about Elemental Attunement, but wait, no... perhaps Conjure? I mean, by having 3 slots, you can a level 16 conjure, PLUS level 16 random skill. Or you can use it to get a level 16 Divine Boon or something. I don't know, I have no good ideas, but any maintained or long lasting enchantment could potentially benefit from this. --Silk Weaker


 * Nah, Primal Rage wouldn't work, as it isn't a spell. But anyway, this skill will be a BREAKTHROUGH for new Mesmer builds. I can't wait to play around with it. Steal enemy spells, utilize spells of party members and use spells from your secondary profession to full effect. :) --[[Image:TurningL sml.gif|Tetris L]] 04:09, 20 September 2006 (CDT)
