Guild Wars 2

Hey mates,

my new condition roaming video with a little extra. Some of u asked me to do a ant warrior guide. Enjoy have fun and feel free to contact me ingame =).

So so so so awesome, got excited when I saw a vid from you in my subscriptions list, was not disappointed, impeccable play as always

Gotta say vashury, you’re one of the most incredibly technically skilled players I’ve ever seen in this game. Mad props.

I can’t believe how many people just sat there and killed themselves on confusion, didn’t have any sort of condi removal, and didn’t have stability or stun breaker for magic bullet + duelist/shatter bursts. Then there were the people who would carry on hitting even though you were in blurred frenzy.

No wonder people like asking for mesmer nerfs, they have no idea what the hell they’re doing.

This right here. I’ve said time and time again about the thoughtless or lazy players who just aren’t understanding how to combat the Mesmer.

Anyway, good video Vashury and good post Colesy

Mesmer is almost like a Warrior – a strong character for every kind of player – but with a good player these classes become awesome.

I also play warrior and i have to say that it is incredible what u can do with those classes – but i think, each class has their strong sides – so in my lifetime i was at least once beaten by every other class in this game.

perfectly played guard with the right specc can come to a draw
perfectly played nekro is aweful
perfectly played ingi is also hard kitten
perfectly played hunter also kinda nasty
perfectly played thief ….

each class can be dangerous the fact is just, the focus of the worlds players are always goes down to the actually meta of classes and rests there until these classes recieved a nerf. After that new classes become the “obviously strongest” classes, the world yells about nerf again – thats the never ending circulation of MMPORGs.

True colesy – the thing is, condi removal against a condi mesmer is almost useless – mesmer push ther conditions so fast and frequently that there is almost no difference if u clean it or just accept it. And of course some of them were not really good – but i wanted to show the potential of condition.

-all 4s bleed from duellist
-poison on weapon switch i have it on both sets CD < weaponswitch timer infight
-confusion on hit and from phantasms
-when they kill an illusion they recieve also conditions (weakness,vulnerability,bleed)
…

True, they should have cleand themselvs but, maybe they had cooldowns or just were in panic. I played solo Arena and i played Team Arena to make my comments based on facts and there was no difference between a WvW random prey and some rank 50+ players. They suffered and they died after there removes were out. Mesmer has so long and many stealths in a condition specc that it is easy to overbridge the time between new attacks. Especially with the defense possibilities.

-blurred frenzy 2s immun cd:12s
-decoy 3s cd:32s
-prestige 4s cd: 30s
-mass invis 6s cs: 90s
-bullet: stun 2s cd: 25s
-leap: all 9,5 s
-blink: cd 30s
….

Some player should create new defense tactics instead of using those from others or well known sPvP players. I see a lot of unused potential in some classes.
Warrior for example are also one of the strongest characters these times – i was asking for duellings to some rank 1-50 sPvP player and they all sufferd from stuns and died – even thief jumper builds couldn´t stand it. So – there are a lot of points where nerfs or at least diminishing returns should be implented but, sometimes u just have to switch your gameplay to counter the “unbeatable” classes.

so long..

Wow superb play. Would you mind posting your gear and runes setup and exact traits?

For which specc? the shatter or condition

The condition. Im looking for a build to duo with a thief, this looked perfect.

woah nice!very nicely done. i love how u listed all the counters to warriors.:-)

Hey

sry for the German side – but just go for the numbers of the traits.

lot of player use the 20/20/30/0/0
but i like the phantasm based build more -so i can focus on defense.

@ selan
not all only those i play with.

Sweet video!
What really impressed me was the detailed breakdown of opponent builds, weaknesses and likely rotations, which is truly key to being able to counter them effectively. Some of those predictive blurred frenzies were absolutely beautiful to watch.

Great video, and a refreshingly honest and accurate assessment of your build’s potential.

Thank you all.
When u like the video in his mechanics and skill, than maybe u have also fun with a video which shows the role of a mesmer in the group. Acutllay i play warrior in bigger groups but maybe u like it anyway.

It´s a guild video. a well chosen group of high skilled individuals fighting for the same. We play together since more than 5 years.

Especially 7:15 is the mesmers gold skill ^^ in groups
at 17:00 10vs20+
But it´s more based on team play and warrior! Don´t be sad if there are to less Mesmer stuff^^

Great vids Vash.

I’m curious as to how effective this build would be with Runes of Traveler.

Wow this is awesome :3

Great videos Vash, full respect you have a great deal of skill, keep them coming, I enjoy the breakdown of what you are doing, I generally watch good videos multiple times, to try pick up how to increase my own skill level, and yours definitely fit in the multiple watch category.

Thanks for sharing, hope to see more Mesmer POV videos in the future.

Awesome videos, as always.
Good choice of music as well (Savant yay! :P)
I am really impressed by your gameplay/teamplay. Amazing stuff. I just love how you break up and analyze your recordings.

Can’t wait to see you guys in WvW again. Hopefully it doesn’t take too long, considering rankings (Kodash 10th and AM 11th). Don’t have a guild at the moment, but I know that you’re up for duels :P

Thank´s guys. Yes I am. ^^
I had a jumper duell yesterday. I guess it´s a good class/build to start the next “how to counter” tutorial ^^.
