Guild Wars 2

Out there in PVP mesmer seems to have unlimited clone thanks to Illusion Reversion / Continuum Split combo. And those confusion stacks is the main source of damage

During the clone train mesmer get many clone like 3-5 clone from a combo never seem to be able to burst them down as well since they got like 10 sec of invulnerability if used the rotation right and end whittle you down till you have to disengage and give them free point cap.

Play as a dh and sit in your traps.

Using Continuum Split for burst (and mirror images within that) is on a long cooldown so it can’t be done regularly – if done then usually once in a fight, and usually in such a way as to end the fight quickly.

What class are you playing?

Play all classes except thief , mes , warrior. I know how to spot real mes from clones but there no opening unless the Mesmer mess up his rotation. Or I wait for help then Mesmer get away most of the time.

Rev don’t have reliable way to rush the real mes down since all the clone will eat 2/3 of DMG done.

Ranger same as above I have to stay away from clone bangs cant get in unless I spec for condi clear.

DH I can give them some pew pew but mes out sustain me.

Ele. just delaying inevitable. Mes stunlock you then game over Or Moaed.

Necro. Need way too specialized build to deal with then you lose the utility for team fight .

Scrapper if Im lucky to get a chain CC mes will port out and re enter after a reset which is not fun since you don’t know how far or the direction of portal.

You can’t.

This is the point of the build: endless clones and consistent condie pressure. If you want to train down a mesmer, you will be able to with a revenant. But you won’t be able to win a duel.

As for engi and druid, it will be perpetual fight if you don’t get moa’ed. But mesmer is such a good duelist this patch because of low cool down F5 reset moa.

The only real counter to the mesmer build om a 1v1 is dragonhunter. Because traps autocleave out all the clones and it is very hard for mesmer to dish out enough damage to put on the pressure.

Hrm, actually, there’s no “clone train”. The talent is actually rather limited.

And if they’re built for condi shatter, just … cleanse them? I mean I don’t want to sound condescending, but that’s how you generally handly conditions, and Mesmers bringing the weakest condition(s), yes you could ignore or outheal them with a druid but just cleanse and be done with it. Their CD is so high that it doesn’t really matter what you do afterwards.
