Usage
Mirage Cloak
is the profession mechanic of the mirage. Whenever you dodge or pick up a , you enter Mirage Cloak for 0,75 seconds, dodging incoming attacks. You also gain access to Ambush skills for 1,5 seconds, which replace your first weapon skill. Mirage Cloak does not have a cast time, allowing mirages to dodge at any time, such as when casting a skill, when reviving someone, but cannot be used while under the effects of hard crowd control or immobilization.
Damage
Most of your damage comes from Shatters and Ambushes. Due to , gaining Mirage Cloak reduces the cooldown of , and using that Shatter with 2 clones gives you Mirage Cloak. This means that clones are merely Shatter fodder and you are going to be spamming off-cooldown, which will be quite often with Dune Cloak constantly reducing its cooldown.
Shattering also activates , giving you a very nice damage buff.
