Mesmer nerf away from being a great patch
Agree with you.
Mesmer needed a nerf. Expect 2 mesmers in every single S3 ESL match.
Portal Play is a huge team carrier.
If you wanna keep portals, at least nerf the Moa duration by 50%. That way, they can still have 2 Moas but they can’t waste time writing /say while their clones wreck you in Moa.
Example given by Lord Helseth at minute 30:50 Moa to Evan Lesh (ANET Gameplay Programmer).
This is Him, killing 3 players by himself using his little Mesmer last night after patch.

I don’t think Moa needs nerf, I think continuum split does.
Yeah, the patch was actually nice overall but either way I did suspect that the mesmer changes were weird.

Condi shatter mesmer definitely needed a nerf, but got a buff instead – really don’t know why. It simply needs an ICD of 10 seconds on both Illu Reversion and Chronophantasma.
Other than that, the patch was great: Still not sure if Ele is usable without clerics (which is important to me, cuz I don’t wanna necessarily keep playing clerics all the time), but it looks more promising than last patch.
The top-3 builds are maybe still a bit too strong (power-rev, clerics ele and condi-mesmer) but the rest got much more closer together. Srsly: If they tone down the top-3 builds a bit, it might be the closest balance between classes yet.
First glance opinion of course.
IR already got nerfed by needing two illusions out. ICD just doesn’t make sense nor any semblance of nerfing it further.
Flow of time was a decent change but definitely not a game changer. Seeing as how alacrity was nerfed 50% in reduction, this just seems like a modification to them overturning/nerfing alacrity recharge reduction from 66-33%.
I post from a phone so please excuse any references to ducks or any other auto corrections.
So they buff mes to make ppls hate this kittening no brain mes. Then they will have a reason to nerf it.
block block block block Invincible Invincible Invincible ~~~~ the design of mes ….. ..
Agree, mesmer needs the change the most. Then revenant and ele.

It’s one day after a patch that made drastic changes to every class. Can we not at least wait for the meta to settle before we go declaring XYZ to be broken?

but isnt this the story of gw2 pvp? “if they just…”
like if they just removed celestial instead of forcing us to play cele builds for 2 years. if they just…
If Mesmer is such an OP class, why not make it a priority target in pvp ? It seems like it would be easier to target now that necros and engineers have been nerfed, no?

There have been times with better balance than during other times. It will never be perfect, but the meta we have at the moment is really far from being perfect or even “good”.

yes but my point is they always miss the most obvious solution. even if it slaps them across the face and we cry about it on the forums for a year.

Maybe but how many damage builds have you seen for ele since it was taken away?
