How Will the April Patch Improve Mirage with Illusionary Membrane?

-

With the balance patch coming on April 15, there’s going to be some Quality of Life improvements for Illusionary Membrane. I’m curious about how this change might influence the performance of Mirage, which many players feel is currently lacking, especially in the context of staff/staff alacrity Mirage for group PvE content. What are your thoughts?

I think the changes will definitely help make buff management smoother since Aura duration stacking has its perks. It could make Mirage a bit more reliable in terms of damage output, but whether it becomes a top-tier Alacrity DPS is still up for debate. Right now, it’s not the worst choice in the game, but other builds like Condition Boon Chronomancer still seem to have the upper hand because they ramp up quicker and can provide both boons effectively. The ability to give 25 Might solo is nice, but it doesn’t shine in many meta compositions.

Wait, you think Mirage is underperforming? It’s actually ranking 4th on the total DPS leaderboards as of now!

Yeah, but I’m referring to staff/staff alac Mirage specifically, not the overall performance.

Can you share a build link for that? I’d love to see what the top performers are using!
