Guild Wars 2

So i have a warrior and a mesmer, both with power build ( mesmer shatter power, and warrior berserker ) and full exotics and the right runes for each build.
As everybody says, exotics are pretty much good for wvw , so ascended items would be necessary just for people that do high level fractals. But when i go into a small zerg fight or even a 1v1 it just seems that my damage looks like a pve mob. My mesmer for example, i use him to burst some squisy that are kind of far away from his zerg, and even i doing the full combo, not letting him use any heal or anything the damage is horrible and after that i almost die instant, but thats ok because iam a squishy build.
And as about the warrior, the damage is better if i compare to my mesmer, but the same thing, it looks like some players with legendarie/ascended ALWAYS take much less damage and do much more damage than i. Today i remember trying to 1v1 a legendarie/ascended warrior with my warrior, i couldnt even let him below 70%, even i not letting him use anything , so after all my CCs be on cooldown he just turned on me and killed me in like 5 seconds. So, i dont know, maybe thats how wvw scales people with better stats or ascended/legendaries really make that difference.

without info about your build we cant help you. a video would be best, but even then your damage changes based on how much armor and damage reduction your enemy has.

The exotic gear makes no difference at all. If you just copy/paste a build off that site and go into wvw thinking you’re going to beat an experienced roamer, you’re dead wrong. Most of the experienced roamers have their own custom builds and typically stomp noobs who just use copy/paste builds. As for fighting in the zerg, if they were organized and running the typical boonspam crap, youre not going to kill them without lots of necros and epi bombs anyway. Power is typically useless in that case, its all about the condi bombs. And most people are running tank condi gear now, so good luck bursting most people down with all the passive crap and damage reduction. You’ll occasionally run into a pve hero in all zerk gear and you can blow them up, but thats rare to encounter now.
