Guild Wars 2

Come on!

I was so excited to play Mesmer and suddenly when I get on I realize there is no main hand pistol for Mesmer. I was planning to try to get 2 Quips if I kept playing with the character. I’m pretty bummed out right now. Make this happen please!

Would be really cool. What ideas for MH pistol skills do you have?

I’m not sure really.

Maybe

1- An autoattack, maybe one that bounces between enemies.

2- A target skill that shoots a bullet at the area, and where it hits it creates a clone and deals slight damage upon impact. Maybe you could also swap places with the clone after it is created.

3- Maybe a short ranged teleport that confuses and damages enemies in both areas of where you tele.

I like the idea of high mobility if you’re going to dual wield pistols. I think those skills would be alright, what do you think?

Maybe like this:

1.) Autoattack :

• a skill that does dmg and bounces back (only) to the mesmer/clone granting swiftness
• Range: 900
• Activation: 1/2s
• 20% for projectile combo finisher
• 1s swiftness

2. Wastrel’s Demise:

• a skill that deals heavy aoe damage and does even more when the enemy is NOT using a skill
• Range: 900
• +10% dmg when enemy is not using a skill
• Cooldown 12s
• Activation 1s

3.) Calculated Risk: (My favorite)

• a skill that does medium dmg and grants might to your enemy but also causes cripple, weakness and blind. also creates a clone on hit that uses autoattack
• Range 900
• Cooldown 20s
• Activation (press and hold) 0.25-1.25s (5 steps 0.25 | 0.5 | 0.75 | 1 | 1.25)
• 1-5 stacks might for 15s for your enemy
• 2-10s weakness
• 1-5s cripple
• 1-5s blind

Here are a few other skills i’ve thought of:

x1.) Aneurysm:

• a skill that does more dmg when the enemy has low energy
• Cooldown 15s
• Activation: 0.75s
• Range 900
• +5% dmg when the target has 50-99% energy
• +10% dmg when the target has 0-50% energy

x2) Overload:

• a skill that deals heavy dmg and dazes the enemy. if the enemy is channeling a skill you stun instead of dazing
• Cooldown 20s
• Activation 0.25s
• Range 900
• 1s daze
• 2s stun

x3) Shrinking Armor:

• a skill that causes bleed and vulnerability to your enemies, also creates a clone whose attacks cause bleed and vulnerability (one stack each for 5s)
• Cooldown s
• Activation s
• Range 900
• 3 stacks bleed for 10s
• 8 stacks of vulnerability for 10s

x4) Illusionary Meteor:

• the mesmer shoots a bullet in the sky (charge skill) after the ccharge it’ll take 3s to cause an effect
• a skill that does really heavy dmg and controll your enemy
  *Activation 1.5-4.5 seconds (1.5|2.5|3.5|4.5)
• Range 1200 (1500 with trait)
• Cooldown 40s
• Charge 1: deal dmg through a bullet that falls from the sky
• Charge 2: deal more dmg (the bullet is a boulder now) + knockdown 2s
• Charge 3: deal more dmg (bullet is a canonball now) aoe dmg+knockdown 1.5s
• Charge 4: deal heavy dmg (bullet is a meteor now) aoe dmg+ knockdown 2s+ burn 3s
• needs 3s to cause an effect after finishing the cast
