10 seconds and 50% chance to block for 15 energy? This should be 10 energy. The preceding unsigned comment was added by 2008 71.50.50.244 (talk • contribs) 22:08, 10 February (UTC).

Yeah, cause the AoE is inexistant. ;) — Galil Talk page 22:22, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

This skill is already good. Making it imbalanced would not help. Its sometimes cheaper than Distortion for example. 91.153.0.57 09:40, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

If this was 10 energy it would see some use.87.194.137.198 17:38, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

problem is 10 energy would make this possible to spam for short amounts of time, and spamming 75 dmg would be imba with fast casting 86.158.218.81 19:37, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

It has a 1/4 second cast, how would Fast Casting effect this? -- euphoracle | talk 23:16, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
It would affect it in no way, of course. If this was at 10 energy, the spamming would be incredible; Mirage Cloak + Signet of Pious Light at high Mysticism.--Wealedout 19:28, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
FC would affect Signet of Pious Light!!! 95.119.14.117 14:42, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
And you'd run out of energy and at 60AL you'd be everyone's bitch. -- euphoracle | talk 05:07, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

OR GUYS! 15 energy isn't actually a lot of energy and you can stop being bad? Ever ehard of GoLE?! of emanagement? crazy thing. it's OP by the fact it's 12 seconds of blockign with 0 attributes in it. and that's coz we're not retarded anddont use 20% enchant set 90.207.153.37 17:37, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Mirage cloak is one of THE best dervish skills, if you're a dervish complaining it needs love..lol at you. be thankful--Celtus 23:44, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

I love this skill on my Elementalist...and it combines well with Ward of Weakness too, because of it's large AoE. 145.94.74.23 06:52, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
Works well on a necro too; SR is fun for the whole family. -- euphoracle | talk 05:07, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

This is probably one of the best enchants of dervishes. It's effing spammable with no recharge times. You just have to figure out how to manage your energy (which I won't tell how OLOLOL).

Use Mind Blast. This is going to be the next distortion. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.174.21.178 (talk).
This is the new distortion...way to spammable on mindblast eles needs a cooldown nerf
With 12 Mysticism, you maybe using 15 energy to cast this spell, but you get back 4 energy when it ends. So in essence you only use 11 energy plus some bonus damage. It's like casting Monk's Guardian spell on yourself twice successively at a faster casting speed and with free damage at that. Remember, dervishes are enchantment eaters, so some Monk spells feed the dervish machine.
yes sire, and 0 recharge time...mirage cloak is the fastest activating block spell besides shield of deflection (that blocks more than once)? very good to use under attack pressure..whereas guardian or a similar 1sec cast would be quite vulnerable to interrupt or knockdown --Zurvan 12:21, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

The move states it has 50% chance to block. does that 50% strictly refer to attacks from martial weapons, or does it include spells and hexes as well? --174.18.221.105 07:29, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

An "attack," by game definitions, is whenever you swing your weapon. Stuff like spells and hexes are in a different category called spells and hexes. —Jette User Jette awesome.png 07:36, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

VS Conviction...at least make en cost 10...95.180.76.188 12:33, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

I notice the duration is scaled to the attribute, but its not included in the table. Has anyone tested that yet? Guildwarsrunner 06:25, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

What was the reason why they downgraded this dervish must-have?[edit]

Was a staff playing an assassin and was pissed off his palm strike dreams was ruined by dervishes and elementalists with Mirage Cloak?

And now it costs 6 energy for dervishes and can kept up 1/2 the time instead of the whopping 15 where mind blast eles can abuse while the dervs can cast it once per battle then get laughed at by some necro. How is that bad? ZencowUser Ox rider Sig.png 20:32, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
Energy management and covering enchantments is a skill too. I could perma-block before and laugh at assassins, warriors, rangers, and even fellow dervishes who don't know how to block. OK, OK, I admit, I had my build with Earth Prayers set at 9. I'll try making it 12 and see if 6 seconds(+20%) of block is good enough. Shadow Knight 09:08, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
Tested it, and unlike before I could no longer perma-block. FU Assnet. Now there's a 3 second window of vulnerability. Wow, Im better off using Guardian as I could recast it more often. 72% block doesn't mean a thing with the way your servers calculate hit chance.

OK, I found a way to plug that 3 second hole in my defenses. Sorry for the being an ass. Shadow Knight 12:07, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
I tried making Earth Prayers to 15 to test out the new Vow of Strength (I miss the old VoS ^^, ), and, shibal! Mirage Cloak, is so overpowered now.Shadow Knight 09:20, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
When combined with mystic regen at 15/16 EP, this is OP as (fill random curseword in here), it's a must have in the VoS build 77.166.207.18 14:13, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
Extend Enchantments and you can still upkeep it with ease so stop your whining you bunch of crybabies and look at the options that can maintain it. Da Mystic Reaper 14:19, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
