Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure why monster tagging even exists, possibly to weed out people getting event xp with very little effort, but I’m feeling very frustrated by it when I’m playing my Mesmer (primarily using staff). Why does tagging have to be so restrictive anyway? Why isn’t one hit enough? Winds of Chaos is a slow attack, Chaos Storm is on a relatively long cooldown, and in most events with lots of players I just can’t tag much before the others kill them.

It’s not really that important for me to get all that xp and trash loot, but I just don’t want to feel like all my efforts are futile, like it doesn’t matter if I just stand there mashing 1 or try to do my best.

See if you can get an elementalist to summon you a better weapon.

I’m inclined to say if your staff isn’t working, why not switch to something more responsive?
