How eactly does the DE illusion work now that you have to equip the Guise?
I see two options:
1) When wearing the mask, you get the stat bonuses all the time plus the DE
illusion goes up as soon as you put it on. DE illusion remains in effect
all the time as long as you are wearing mask.
2) When wearing the mask, you get the stat bonuses all the time but DE
illusion is not active. Click on mask icon to activate the illusion.
Illusion remains in effect for a certain duration. Duration wears off when
zoning.
Based on everything I've read, I think #2 is how it works but would just
like confirmation.
