Guild Wars 2

Now I was away from my mesmer for a while to get a change of air, playing my warrior and all..

Now Im back with my Mesmer and find myself wondering “Did something happened while I was looking away?”

I can live with the crippling of Arcane Thievey, even though I dearly miss the full swap of boons and conditions on some bosses in he fractals fo example.. (Archdiviner says hi.)

But what happened to Feedback? * sighs a little frustrated *
I put it on the Legendary Dredge Mining Suit when it prepares it’s bomb barrage… Nothing happens. At all.

I put it on the grawl shaman in the vulcano fractal when it prepares it’s diving bomb… Nothing.

I put it on the champion spiders in Arah Explorable, getting a few reflection hit’s of less then ~1000 damage per reflected bullet while the attack can utterly kitten everyone it hits…

What happened to my favorite spell that could punish stuff for shooting dangerous things at my party?

That just doesn’t feel fair at all anymore..

It still blocks the grenade barrage, but the grenades don’t stack up like they did before, because they damage from that was unbalanced. I wasn’t aware that feedback ever blocked the diving bomb, but you should be saving feedback for your normal reflect rotation on that boss anyway and/or saving it for when the grubs spawn.

I don’t think I’ve ever actually fought the spiders in Arah, but it still works just fine on hunters and elementalists.

Also, just a note. At higher fractals, you can’t tank his aoes for arcane thievery anyway. The aoes add agony, and that has to be avoided at all costs.
