Guild Wars 2

Let’s face it. That bug brought balance to the game, now its 6 rubbish professions again unless there isn’t a kittening lot to reflect (making mesmer viable).
When i see those impressive 1.2k 1.2k 1.8k autoattacks on lupicus from my mesmer…
… i have to say im not impressed at all.

Iehova.9518:

Just for the record, this feature removal doesn’t affect the legit way of killing him, right?

I’d hate Lupus to be ruined.

He will probably look unchanged for everyone else since there was clearly something being used in the 15 second kill that did damage way beyond what we were doing. I would imagine that “feature” was removed but everything else still works fine.

What the hell are you on about?

Because mesmers are a DPS class.

You obviously have no knowledge what the bug was about.
It made all classes dealing about same amounts of damage, which was a good thing in my opinion. Because why should warriors do more than x5 damage of a mesmer? Why? There is no reason for it because this game doesn’t have tanks or healers, which the mesmer wouldnt be one either. 6 of 8 professions could seriously use a 200% damage boost – at least.

Clearly every class was meant to do the same damage by something that is not even specific to any of the classes. Why bother having customization and different weapons if they just wanted everyone to do the same damage with a non class specific item/skill?

I too would like closer dps balance amongst the classes, but not by something outside of class mechanics.

One PM later, I’m fully aware of the now-removed feature.

Homogenization is never a good thing.

The way I see it, swinging a huge sword in your face ought to do more damage than sending a precious pretty purple image that bursts into butterflies to your face.

Oh just reroll warrior if you want to be useful see big numbers. I did.

Go solo arah path 2 with you warrior. Should take about 45 minutes at most.
Then do it on your mesmer/guardian/ele/ranger/engineer/thief/necromancer. Surprise, probably you cant even do it because of the dps check at the end. And even if you can do it, you will need much longer.

5 Warriors faceroll through dungeons in a quite short time.
5 Mesmers almost faceroll through dungeons in the speed of a snail.

I don’t want all 8 professions to be the same, but since dps is the only thing that really matters in this gave they should have at least almost equal damage outputs.

@lehova: i often end up rerolling warrior in runs, because after 15 minutes i remember that we would have been done by now if i was a warrior. And not to have the dungeon only finished halfway.

@Nikaido: no way mesmers are fine the way they are. If they were it shouldn’t matter if you run 2 warriors in a duo or 2 mesmers. But it does, oooh it does. Warriors should still be able to buff up group dps as their unique ability. But an unbuffed warrior shouldnt deal three times as much damage as a mesmer.

I don’t have a problem hitting 4k+ autoattacks on my Mesmer. Add in phantasms to that, and the DPS is quite nice. If you only hit autoattacks that do less than 2k damage, you are doing something wrong. My Guardian frequently hits over 4k damage on the first 2 attacks in the sword chain, and usually around 7-9k with the third attack. My Sword / Warhorn Ranger which I play in Arah on occasion does 2-3k autoattacks without a problem. The final boss of path 2 in Arah? Slow for anything aside from a Warrior? Here’s a screenshot from the second phase of the fight, I may take one from the first phase tonight too.

nicely done

ahhh Berserker Gear can be so much fun^^
…but it can also be annoying if you have a “pro” Warrior with full cof set in your group

Obligatory “CoF set does not scrub make” comment.

Were not all classes in gw2 supposed to be able to do everything?
I want to see a screenshot where you hit GL solo for 4k+ autoattacks.
And additionally, bringing a mesmer or guardian does not always make sense. Instead, bringing a warrior always does.

lol Sylar, stirring up the DnT crew

lol Cookie, back to gw2?
