Chaos
- Master of Manipulation — Manipulations grant aegis to yourself and nearby allies.
Notes[edit]
- Mimic only reduces the recharge of utility skills. It does not affect Shatters, nor healing skills, nor elite skills, nor trait cooldowns.
- As noted in the skill description, Mimic's recharge is completely unaffected by Continuum Split.
- The effect will be used when casting mantras. This will affect the cooldown, but not the charge cooldown. Since mantra cooldowns are 4 seconds or less, mimic is wasted on mantras.
- The effect will not be used when casting Portal Entre. It will be used as normal when casting Portal Exeunt.
- Using Mimic before activating Blink can make yourself a great way to escape from dangerous situations or to move faster on the map by "skipping" long distances

Trivia[edit]
- Mimic was originally implemented as the engineer skill Absorb, which stored an enemy projectile for later use.
- This skill underwent a major overhaul as a part of the September 2014 Feature Pack.
- It was completely redesigned during the 23rd of June 2015 Specialization Rebalance.
- The current function of this skill is identical to Glyph of Renewal from the original Guild Wars.
