Guild Wars 2

Hi.

First of all thank you for great changes on greatsword it really made the weapon more viable. (still I think first skill shouldn’t punish player for positioning so much because there are a lot of gap closers in this game and 5 knockback is on long, long cd)

Here are some things that are not “balanced” or in the right place at the moment.

1. I think and I know most of Mesmers agree that domination line is a big mess right now. This trait line is built around interupts but Mesmer simply doesn’t have enough interupts to make all the small traits a bit effective. Yes when you use persona, run pistol and singet of domination you potentionaly have 3 reliable interupts but you mostly need those 2 stuns for setting up your blurred frenzy. So I really think all the small traits and the whole focus on interupts in this line should be changed to make this line more on the level of the others.

2. Also I’m sure it was probably mentioned here but all mesmers grandmaster traits with the exception of i. persona and shatter healing are a big lackluster.

3. Focus as well is a in a really weird place at the moment. It is the only “mobility” weapon that Mesmer has but the phantasm on it is useless in mobile fights. I think iWarden should be swapped with other phantasm or swiftness should be swapped on another weapon so the whole weapon makes sense.

4. And of course phantasm builds are really OP at the moment and really encourage passive gameplay often with same main hand weapon in both slots. iSwordsman swap, iDuelist, stun, blurred frenzy (in the air is ok phantasms do the damage anyway), swap iSwordsman again and just kite and wait so your phantasms do the job for you is just wrong.

5. There is also a bit problem with scepter at the moment. I think it should be more a condi weapon since condi Mesmer builds don’t have a good second weapon next to staff. The first 2 attacks on 1 chain should do some damage condition instead of power based damage because power Mesmer already has sword, greatsword and can use staff as well.

6. Phase retreat is quite bugged. It ports people to the wall or in the ground way too often.
