In my opinion:
- too high shatter dmg
- too much dmg coming from the illusions instead of the player
- mesmer being able to do dmg with the weapon he switched from for a long time after he switched to another weapon (e.g. Phantasmal duelist doing dmg for a long time after mesmer switched to greatsword for example), no other profession can do so much dmg with previous weapon after it switched to other one. Condi builds can apply conds and then switch, but dmg is not comparable to illusions dmg.
- most of the mesmers dmg being stoppable only by focusing his illusions, very hard for melee classes

  • Their burst is too high and too hard to avoid
  • They bring far too much utility to tournaments, and Khylo especially
  • Illusions are too strong and make the skill floor absurdly high
  • Incredibly imbalanced downed state mechanics on the one and three

I also have a vendetta against Moa, and think the casting animation should be way more obvious like Bull’s Rush, Eviscerate, ect.

So now thieves are fixed the masses target the next class eh?

Mesmers are fine, however in regards to damage but yes I can agree the portal on khylo does need changing for example dropping the repair kit on porting etc.

@ Larynx The 5 second cast for Moa is pretty obvious and you can see them casting it.

“@ Larynx The 5 second cast for Moa is pretty obvious and you can see them casting it.”

Sure, in a vacuum. Combine that with 4 other clones, particle effects going everywhere, stealth, and the general confusion of fighting a mesmer.

And according to the wiki, it’s a 1 second cast time.
