Guild Wars 2

It is ridiculously noticeable how much you guys are changing the mesmers skills and phantasms, especially the beserker, and it’s disgusting! I have video since launch of beserker and it’s animations/casting hits and movements, god has it changed so much. And you guys don’t even include these changes in the update notes, as well as everything else you guys change behind the curtains. People that don’t notice these changes either don’t pay attention to the class or have only recently created a mesmer. I will admit the mesmer was OP and I understand changing and balancing certain skills, but what I don’t understand is the lack of informing the people that play this class recieve. The scepter is crap, the torch is crap, the staff is crap, movement speed is crap, using a focus is crap, mirror blade is crap, mind stab is crap, and now beserker is crap. You feel me dawg, inform us, or state it’s a bug, or something, because we know you are changing stuff, and not explaining the changes. I am sick of these stealth changes!

For those that haven’t noticed, the beserker misses quite often now, never before, the first time they changed it and said it wasn’t a bug nor did they nerf damage (yea right total bologna) then they put in that malarkey with clones/phant/ill not spawning cuz of evade/block and whatnot (more bologna take away our shatter skills gg gj good idea your so smart at balancing) now beserker is a brain dead imbecile that upon skill activation misses, doesn’t attack immediately or even seconds after activating, and even will run next to a target like he’s going for a jog. What is this carp really?

I know I’m raging but I can clearly tell the difference, and even to backup my observations I watched the captures I have over time from launch and it’s there, the evidence would lock away a guilty man, without a doubt.

yo, any1 at anet, plz tell me what else than a shatter build mesmers can run in pve these days? Do you have any idea how iberserker is useless in Fractals 20+???? It deals damage once every 5 casts because it dies and when it does deal damage 1/2 of the times it misses most hits and deals like 600 damage instead of 1900+… its kittening amazing what they’re doing to mes. I said this a month ago and i’ll repeat, Mesmer is Paragon 2.0 of gw2.

I have over 600 hours on my mez and I agree with you. The constant ninja nerfs to the class are really horrible. They don’t tell us anything, they just change it. The mesmer forums are the least responded to. Lends to an air of “we don’t give a carp about your class, plz go play a thief”. Your title says it all Please Tell Us What You Changed, but they won’t. It is tough to have to change builds every patch, new challenge but annoying and frustrating at the same time.

There are 10 pages of mesmer topics with no Anet response, I stopped at 10, that was enough…sure not all are QQ, but really, inform your customers/playerbase, respond to their frustrations, or else you will lose their business.

mesmer forums brah, and that’s not what I care about, boons on my phant and I’m shattering ha what a joke

Not everybody plays a shatter build.

Seriously, i stopped playing after i see the patch notes. With every patch there comes a new bug for mesmer, as if they never even spend 1 minute testing the changes at all.

There are just some things you cannot iron out until they go live due to the differences of the internal test server, and live server.

Anet responded to the changes in a thread in this forum.

They are aware of the bug. Just like they said they were aware of the berserker dmg decrease/hit miss after 11-15 patch. I don’t even know if I can see “one” actual mesmer bug being fixed within this year.

The issue with berzerker is it uses other professions’ attack algorithms.

Whenever they release an update relating to, say, warriors, it messes with zerker.

Until they code the zerker its own attack algorithm instead of shifting it from one profession’s skills to another, it will keep being unintentionally changed.

That said, I think the behavior of zerker has improved this patch in pve, even if it does now behave like dragon’s tooth and take time to introduce it’s 23 relatives before actually doing its job.

Perhaps a Public Test Server is in order, then?

This leaves us as portal monkeys in WvW go make a portal then stand over there out of the way till needed for another and if we don’t want to roll that way there is little contribution we can offer, people are lobbying portals to be nerfed too so that leaves us no option but to re-roll.

The only reason to bring a mesmer in a long time has been portal.
