Anyone who complains that Mesmer is OP is implicitly admitting that they are a n00b.

Lucky I didn’t say there are OP then. I only said they are unskilled. (Large dmg output for little effort. 1 wep set pressing 5 keys is little effort)

That’s odd, I seem to be using 10 keys, plus 1 key, plus 3 keys, plus 1 key, for a total of 15 keys, the latter 5 switchable out of combat. Trust me, when people know your tricks as a Mesmer, you have to fight for your virtual life.

I can assure you, the “classic” Mesmer, using Staff/Sword+Pistol (or Focus) is quite a busy little bee.

I’d strongly oppose any label that implies that thieves are ‘easy’ to play. They’re deceptively fragile and require constant environmental awareness and excellent reflexes to play effectively.

top 3 unskilled? all proffesions have autoattacks and the whole build concept is far more braindead then in gw1.
5 years ago i would never had guessed that.

This game has the least complicated ability system I’ve ever played. I think it’s cute that so many people are trying to argue that their class is hard. News flash: they’re all easy. It’s sad. I don’t even have to use half the buttons on my mouse for this game. It’s thoughtless. What you are experiencing is denial.

Well, I see you have very productive comments. Thank you for your amazing commentary, you seem like a fun person to be around.

lol

Warriors seem to have better burst dps than thief, at least in my experience when a Warrior kills me rather than a thief. I’ve had some Warriors in PvP down me in literally a second, takes a bit longer for a thief.

The classes are as deep as you want them to be. You can play them with 1 or 2 keys, or you can play them with the full compliment of (at minimum) 15 – that was part of Anet’s promise. And if you play them to the full, they’re more effective.

Of course “hard” is always relative. What’s hard at first can become easy with practice, or if you just have a knack for it in the first place.
