Guild Wars 2

“It’s way more important in this fight that you deliver on spiking that crowd control when he takes off than consistently dealing damage. You start to create builds that are good at spiking damage – they can do a heavy amount over a few seconds but you then have to wait thirty seconds. Those builds are really good against the Wyvern because when he gets pulled down, they can unload more than anyone else can. When he gets back up it’s not as important to be doing as much damage because he’s really tough.” – Jon Peters

Taken from this interview

Spike damage is needed? Better take a shatter build \o/

Tought exactly the same thing. Seems like they’re opening up PVE for more build diversity: lockdown and burst will become useful.

Clickbait title. Nothing is confirmed yet.

Of course it’s a clickbait… Every newspaper would do the same. (I thought that “:D” would be pretty obvious though). I’d just love to hear the opinion of all the other mesmers out there.

Arenanet never confirmed any builds becoming viable. You could have known that. But the fact that they say we need spike builds in certain situations could really make a shatter mesmer be a possibility in the Addon.
You’re just a little too negative :P

Im just trying to keep my hype in check. Too much expectation usually leads to harsh disappointments

Aren’t we all used to disappointments? We’ve had so many in the past years that they cannot drag me down anymore.

Thought, all the area denial stuff hurt a lot mesmer. Will mesmer clones/fantasms even be able to reach the boss?

I’m just going to be that guy and say mesmer specialization is going to give us a huge disappointment.

…don’t kill me please.

That’s what I expect too… :’(

The problem with Click Bait Titles is that people quickly start to hate you for them.

This is you’re 3rd or 4th clickbait thread and i was tired of them after the first one…

and Just to point out the problem with your Assumption.

The Wyvren dishes out Huge Swaths of AoE like its an AA, Phantasms and Clones won’t be standing to Shatter, and those that are will perish in the long standing Flame AoE.

This is not a Mesmer or Pet class friendly Foe, we will be at a huge disadvantage as is par for the course when it comes to the new content.

Ehhhm… No.

1. I went through my posts and the only other clickbait i found was the april fools by pyro last year “Jon Peters confirms iLeap fix”
   That means that you could simply be wrong or mistaking me with someone else.
2. With your Wyvern Fight argument you’re wrong too! They stated that the wyvern will be extremly vulnerable when its defiant bar is broken. This will last a few seconds in which it cannot act! (INCLUDING: IT CAN NOT DESTROY CLONES) “When the Wyvern takes off you really want him to get knocked down. Although this isn’t finalised, when you pull him out of the sky you deal triple damage to him until he gets up.”

Mesmer would be the only class to switch builds for burst, i like (kinda).
