appriciate who ll give time on it, for making mesmer more viable in FAIR in WvW(Zergs)

suggestions pls,
pls use link which given..

Curious is a greatsword build good for tagging in zergs with a mesmer? I would think that the auto attack, bouncing attack and phastasm would be able to tag alot of people?

yes we can say gs > than other skills for tags
but
Mesmer gs < other classes/weapon

• phantasms can die insta with highly posibility, where as no other classs can be obstructed/denied any damage(can u see Lava Font can die before it hits) ? :P
• except phantasms we dont have any respected aoe damage in range..

Well, they did acknowledge mesmers AOE weakness in that Ready-Up video recently, (a couple weeks ago)and stated that is an area they would like to improve, however, no timelines or any sort of details have been mentioned.

Just keep in mind their idea of improvement might be vastly different from most players and become impractical to use once in the game.

GS is better than other weapons, yes, but as someone else mentioned, iZerker dies extremely fast, and the bounce on GS #2 doesn’t hit that many people. GS auto only hits things in a straight line, and it’s a rather slow casting attack (though thankfully it’s not a projectile).

Tagging on a mesmer is a pain. This is one of the main reasons I really hate playing my mesmer in WvW – it’s extremely unrewarding. Portal, Null Field, Veil, and TW are useful, but when you can’t really tag anything, it’s not much fun to be nothing more than a utilitybot. You could pretty much just sit there staring at your buddies engaging the enemy zerg after laying down Veil/Null Field for them, and it wouldn’t be any different than if you actually tried tagging things. It’s incredibly boring.

If the phantasm only attacked once but they were invulnerable in that attack the mesmers wouldn´t have those issues in WvW. After the attack they could be shattered right away for more AoE damage. That way GS/Staff would got some good AoE.

I wouldn’t hold your breath for any changes.

Rangers were meant to get the first make over and that was promised months ago and still no news.
