Guild Wars 2

I know you guys aren’t prioritizing making Mesmer viable in the meta, but could you at least fix the bug you introduced which made our Focus weapon useless?

Thank you.

Taken from patch preview thread:

Karl McLain.5604:

Hi again!
As Allie promised, I’m here to update the thread one more time before it returns to the depths. Thanks everyone for participating and having a civil conversation, relevant to the topic. Here’s a few more changes we’ll be including for the next feature build:

Elementalist:
Cleansing Water: This trait no longer has an internal cooldown while in PvP.
Meteor Shower: Updated the skill fact to display the increased endurance regeneration while the player has the Zephyr’s Focus trait. Added a red ring to indicate area of effect for enemy players. Added a white ring for allied players.

Engineer:
We’ve fixed a lot of turret issues that were causing them to behave poorly or inconsistently (many of these issues have been reported via the bug forums, thanks guys!) In the coming patch, you’ll see quite a few improvements in this area. For example:
• Fixed the bug that was causing all turrets to have a lower rate of fire than intended.
• Fixed the bug that was preventing the overcharge for the Rifle Turret from increasing its rate of fire.

Guardian:
This one is more of a bug fix, but will help out nonetheless:
Searing Flames: This trait now activates only if the target has a boon on them.

Necromancer:
Fixed the bug which caused your heal/utility skills to be locked out when you exit deathshroud.

Ranger:
Ranger pets are receiving a responsiveness pass and will be much easier to command. For example: Activating your F2 skill will now break your pet out of its current action in order to execute that ability.

Once again, this is not the end of the notes and there’s a lot of stuff we’ll be talking about soon! We’re looking forward to it.

Since Mesmer wasn’t even mentioned, I wouldn’t go getting your hopes up.
Mesmer confirmed for new Paragon.

mained paragon in the first game now i main a mesmer dont scare me.

Its already to late, you cant stop it now.

ugh really almost 20 bugs and we wont even get mentioned. well time to roll war. veilbot is just not fun anymore and mes with those bugs a a nightmare!this class will only see nerfs until no one plays it anymore.

Whilst you fix iWarden, fix iLeap and the other 20 bugs that plague the class.

Hey, at least no incredibly short-sighted, random nerfs to fundamental traits like last time! We’re making progress here!

Seriously Anet, you want a constructive discussion. Work with us. Give us something.
Or just fix the ever-growing bug list. Something. Anything?

u might not wanna read the “leaked” pastebin notes……i had a good laugh.i know one thing. mes is officially dead,ill go main my necro from now on. at least i get to have fun.

You say this now, which means you obviously haven’t seen the leaked patch notes. Anet is apparently of the opinion that despite Mesmer being barely or nonviable in most game types we still need more nerfs.

^ agree with pyro. mes is not viable anymore apart from 1v1 dueling. i think all mes should go on strike. good luck war/guard/ele trains go portal your stupid golems yourself and veil tw it too!

this is a bad joke!

Thanks for pointing that out. I found those patchnotes.
Sigh. At least Mimic now has a 35s CD, and PU gets buffed.

HOW COOL IS THAT.

lol. yeah woot thats EXACTLY what we all asked for. i mean yay mimic is a skill i use like 99% of the time its so awesome it kills entire zergs and insta downs every warrior! and hey im glad i get to be even slower now with 50% less duration on tc, i was soo fast on my mesmer that i couldnt handle dat speed and keept rushing off cliffs!

Maybe they are waiting for the bug to ripen so it becomes a buff when they fix it: “The skill now works as it should have since day one. Reduced damage and increase cooldown to compensate” :-)

What’s the point of giving feedback and bug reports if that get ignored over and over again, and the patches are featuring completely different/random stuff. Let’s just hope that these leaked patchnotes aren’t complete and missing bugfixes. T_T

Necros, I feel you now.

I guess this thread can be locked now.

From a Necro, you’ll have to go through several phases to really know what it’s like being a Necro.

1. Exitedly report bugs. No response. Anet must be busy.
2. See the same topic several times over 3 months. Your posts become more negative because you expect more from the “community”
3. Watch a few “State of the Game”, read game updates waiting for something good only to see things remain the same. “What??? Another warrior buff!!!”
4. See the same topic, now it’s 6 months to a year. Don’t even bother to post. Not worth wasting energy.
5. Update notes says the skill your community has complained about for a year is just incorrect text on the tooltip, and the tooltip has been adjusted to reflect how the skill has worked all along.
6. Try other professions, only to realize that you’re so behind all the other players’ skill level that you end up going back to your main.
7. Find an area where you have fun, even though you’d like to try other areas.

My Necro’s happy place is WvW, and has been for over a year.

Its funny, because if the leak is anything to go by, exactly that is happening to Null Field and Phantasmal Rouge.
