Berserker Mesmer
Glass mesmer is still standalone strong…problem is that meta (fotm) shifted on massive cond spam (necro) and daze,kd,fear (necro and war) so running standard 20 20 0 0 30 shatter mesmer without cond removal and stabilty is no longer viable. Plus you have to consider that almost everyone knows how to avoid a standard shatter combo (leap,diversion,dodge+mirror,mw+bf) and after that you have nothing, even with more “tricky” ones like from stealth or baiting ppl with leap to make target waste his surv skills for delayed shatter don’t assure you to land a good burst anyway…if you mean phantasm mesmer instead it has never been really viable due to team support lack (Mesmer is the main support class along with guard) and aoe spam (lb wars, necros, bomb engis and others) kills phantasms in no time, probably just after first attack…and not being able to keep your phantasms up with phant mez means you’re useless at first and dead seconds later..anyway there are some ideas around involving halting strike, conditions and more tanky specs to try out, just take a look @ mez forum
