Guild Wars 2

hey there playing as an ele for couple of days and i noticed the mesmers are doing so freaking much dmg to me like 800 base dmg up to 2k even 8k wth powerfull attacks. is this normal? just wandering never noticed this kind of dmg against my necro

I have asked this questions as well. Maybe just a better spec. Not sure but I use to have no issues with mesmer but now if Im not careful the burst is crazy.

They say everyone’s damage has been increased but fact is, I can only FEEL it when I fight a mesmer.

1 single freaking dodge shatter can down a man, it’s hilarious.

mesmer clones deal 15k dmg in one hit to me, thief. Also warriors and guardians hit me harder than before patch. Something must be wrong. Maybe armor formula

Is just a l2p issue maybe rol something else than glass build?

Everyone has been doing more damage in pvp. I personally like it it keeps the matches more lively and is actually giving bursty classes a chance against the condi bunker cheese. Also I started running my old shatter build. And I am really not noticing that much more of a difference between now and before the patch. If the mesmer is using runes that give +dmg% or they are taking the increased damage traits for illusions.

No, its not just everyone do more dmg – Its just the AI do insane dmg. And on Mesmer clones its most insane.
Its simply broken and need to be fixed.

Eles are clothy, and squishy.. This seems like an odd thing to complain about considering condi right now..

Dodge, if you get hit water and heal (if you’re not using passive heal). Counter with dps. I think Mes has needed a nerf for a long time, but 2k damage is not a lot.. People that are hitting that much are sacrificing their own DPS for their clones DPS.

This I agree with! I have been hitting extremely hard with my DPS Guardian and, while it may be unfair for light-armored classes (Hammer’s mighty blow can hit up to 7k), I feel like I stand a much better chance versus bunkers and the cancerous bunker condition classes.

Though Lich Form’s Deathly Claws hitting mesmers and ele’s for 9k+ (yes, it’s over 9,000) is just a LITTLE bit insane.

thanks for the responsen, i see its not only me i have noticed that war an guardian hit harder too but then again they do’nt hit me 5 times in a second haha :p they are manageable. i’m not running glass build nor full bunker, its something in between. but yeh i gues it is what it is and i’ll try to avoid mesmers like i avoided hambows with my nec :p

Put some toughness and you might not melt as quick as butter.

Great and highly intelligent suggestion.

Yes indeed some classes indeed do more damage now due to new sigils and runes (warriors and eles are notable examples) but mesmer’s zoo is a whole other case. It might be still under effect of the bug that bug that was fixed on ranger’s and necro’s pet but wasn’t fixed on HoTM npcs. I hope this will noticed and fixed/explained by anet… some day.

Yeah I think mes ai damage is bugged, I have seen some crazy damage done by AI on builds with high armor, so I can only image what glass players have to deal with.

anything with ai like zoo rangers, necros, and mesmers hit a lot harder. i think they messed something up with the ferocity change

Playing as a Guardian against Mesmers and Necromancer, I have noticed this too. They kill me really, really fast.
