Guild Wars 2

Brilliant. Before it had to be an ele. Now it gets to be a mesmer. The difference: a mesmer can do it every eight seconds.

Why nerf eles if your going to allow mesmers to do it just as effectively and require less of them since the cooldown is shorter?

im pretty sure what you stated is a bug, also what ability would they be using? blurry frenzy? the block ability on the sword as an offhand? or temporal curtain with proj reflect when traited?

8 seconds would be sword ability…

but wat?

Eight seconds would be Blurred Frenzy, after traiting.

Does a Ranger’s Whirling Defence block them, too?

Don’t worry, they’ll fix it by removing swords. Or mesmers.

Blurred Frenzy, and while it IS possible (and will no doubt be fixed), it’s incredibly hard to position your blurred frenzy just right in order to catch it. The treb shots are not static (maybe at max range they are), they come in ridiculously fast, and it’s about the same as catching a flying car with a baseball glove. If it’s a little bit short, or a little bit long, it’ll hit the ground and the splash damage will smash everything.

It’s also exceedingly difficult to do. You have to be standing in the exact right spot, even a step or two off and it fails.
