Guild Wars 2

Remember when-

…scepter 2 had no torment, and scepter 3 had no AoE line effect? Back then nobody ran torch but me (or scepter for that matter -_-u).

Play my game kitten!

Remember when the prestige was a full 3 second channel?

Remember when

-chaos storm on falling damage was oneshoting everything

- you were able to double shatter

Remember when
- the tag threashold for loot was so high that in WvW a Mesmer could come out the other side of an enemy blob fight without a single Loot Bag to show for it. (while every guard/war had to swing by the merchant to empty his inv)

Remember when
The iBerserker was broke for a year
The iWarden was broke for a year

What we’ve had to endure …

Remember when phantasmal haste made the warden spin continuously?

Oh ****, please don’t bring that one back up.

Remember when staff gs illusions shatter was meta and mesmer was fun? Remember when you rarely saw any other mesmers in PvP? Remember when there were no cele eles and shoutbows? Remember when we didn’t have half the phase retreat spots we now have?

When blurred frenzy was godmode every 8s traited.

Curunen.8729:

When blurred frenzy was godmode every 8s traited.

When blurred frenzy could be used to make trebuchet shots in WvW go poof…

Remember when you can actually kill people with confusion and retaliation?
Remember when power block actually work on dungeon champs?

Remember when you could reflect WvW siege weapons? I actually used Mimic for that.
Remember the old Mimic? Remember the second, terrible version of Mimic?

Remember when mesmer had its class mechanic rendered obsolete if in a fight with 30 people….
Remember when mesmer had its damage gutted by a stiff breeze from bosses in PvE…

I can feel the salt

Remember when de was mandatory…… Actually currently still is and with the changes to chrono looks like the future is the past.

Curunen.8729:

By far, I miss this the most.

Remember when enemy stealth killed all illusions?

Remember when cleaving a mesmer’s clones could be fatal?

Remember when Mesmer played close point defender with staff sword in PvP?

Ross Biddle.2367:

I can feel the salt

Remember when you needed a clone that dies to a stray f*** to use your class mechanic…
Remember when people could rally off said clones…
Remember when mantras were not clunky to use…

… when you wouldn’t kill yourself by using BF on 3 targets with retaliation …

The only thing I miss is blocking unblockable projectiles with utraited Warden.

Fay.2357:

Remember when phantasmal haste made the warden spin continuously?

Remember when warden spun in place unless he lost LoS with his target?

Remember when Phantasms could be cast without LoS?

EnRohbi.2187:

Remember when Phantasms could be cast without LoS?

I seem to remember only iZerker could do that.

Remember when conjuring a Phantasm cannot be negated by blind or dodge?

iBersker was my favourite Phantasm at the time, so you’re probably right
EDIT: In many ways, still is

Back then, all phantasms except iWarden could both be cast without LoS and didn’t get countered by blind. The iZerker was special because it was the only phantasm summoned on target, which meant somewhat silly things like summoning it on trebs that you had no LoS to but could get a target on.

When Staff 4 Chaos Armor gave Protection but you couldn’t gain it from combos?

When everyone had reduced illusion cooldowns from iCelerity only costing 5 points.

When portal was on an (untraited) 60s cool down.

When scepter/pistol offered monstrous Condi (/cough) damage

When the meta wasn’t established and people were free to explore without judgement?

… When people made guides. (/cough x.x)

Jeez.. Has it been 3 years? I’m all old now.

tetrodoxin.2134:

Remember when you could reflect WvW siege weapons? I actually used Mimic for that.
Remember the old Mimic? Remember the second, terrible version of Mimic?

Remember when you could store a projectile, remove mimic from bar and have sexy glowly ball of energy floating above your hand until you left map? ;-(

Remember when Clones did the same auto attack damage as the mesmer.
When portal worked by just walking over it.
When people bothered to kite sword auto attack instead of laughing in melee range

Remember when you could Blink up the stairs in a tower?

Chaos Archangel.5071:

When portal was on an (untraited) 60s cool down.

also, no limit on how many players you could portal…

Remember when Chaos Storm was broken with Confounding Suggestions? Ahhh my favorite bug ever.

Remember when Power Block effected every class negatively? Another brief but glorious time indeed!

Remember when…

• distortion turned into blur for a short time?
• deceptive evasion was a minor trait for 15 points in dueling?

Me Games Ma.8426:

Remember when…

Indeed I remember this one rather clearly…

Solori.6025:

When portal worked by just walking over it.

This was great! I remember breaking maps with it. You’d have 3 mesmers set up their portals in a triangle, so that the first would port you to the second, which would port you to the third, which would port you back to the first. People would step on it and be continually ported instantly around and around. The map would freeze after a second or two, and unfreeze once the portals timed out.

When scepter block had no torment.

Play my game kitten!

When was this?
I remember glamour builds could drop a zerg with confusion….
I remember traiting for fall damage and jumping off towers to instantly kill people under me…

I don’t remember those though

When mesmer was pretty much the only class without reliable swiftness XD
