PVE and WvW if you can kind sir
Thanks for the other answers , I had a slip of the mind earlier and forgot about Millenium
hmm not sure how much of help i could be since i dun play ranger and mesmer much.
casually leveled a mesmer to 80 (did not bother to equip her with level 80 gear though)
currently casually leveling a ranger to 80 (now 60)
rangers, i think they got buffed, i.e. pets very strong or something.
then nerfed a bit. but i think they are still ok.
mesmers, one major change is the trait, about illusions (which includes both clones and phantasms) -20% recharge time.
previously, it only takes 5 trait points in that tree, now it takes 25 trait points.
i.e. that trait changed places with a 25 trait points trait.
also, the trait that gives phantasms retaliation has been changed such that it only gives retaliation once per new phantasms.
overall class balance, i think they are still fine. i guess.
