Sinister stats are issue and in need urgent balance.

Sinister stats are issue and need urgent unbalance.

I agree, they’re currently far too balance and are in desperate need of being unbalanced.

Oh, more of this again…

Yes they’re full glass.

I’m confused… what is the OP trying to say?

By examining his forum history, I can see hes a ranger main… did this guy lose a duel in WvW to a sinister mesmer?

IF we’re going to complain about sinister stats on a profession (which I’m not saying we should, they’re not even available in PvP… so why waste your breath?), shouldn’t that profession be engineer?

What has me confused is why it’s Sinister he’s complaining about. “Everyone” knows that it’s the tankiness of condi mesmer that makes it such “cancer”, sinister is too glass to be OP like that.

Urgent balance. Despite the fact they can’t be taken in PvP, aren’t a problem whatsoever in WvW, and are actually the best PvE condition damage armor. So nerf them so you totally screw over PvE condition damage builds? Seems to make sense. After all, who wants variety.

No, nerf them so they can play as every other class, sacrifice something to gain others, you cant have 2400 Power, and 1600 condition power, pardon me?

Are we getting trolled?

WHATS HAPPENING?

Yeah well you give up some stat. Rabid has more toughness but no power. 10/10 Almost believed it was serious. Quit honestly was pretty good, you knew to go the mesmer forums to do something of the sort like this which is better than most other class subforums. Probably would have done better in the general discussion subforum tho. You could have had hundreds of people convinced!! But you know what they say, learn from your mistakes.

Why is this in the Mesmer forum? Mesmers typically don’t run Sinister. Are you looking for the Engineer forum?

I think I’ve got this figured out! We’re all just misunderstanding the op. They’re actually complaining that they got dunked by a sinister engie on a Mesmer.

This is the obvious logical conclusion, since complaining about sinister Mesmer is clearly absurd.

No no no, I think it’s meant to be some sort of Haiku

Sinister stats are.
Issue, and in.
Need urgent!
Balance.

See,

• First he proclaims Sinister stats are a thing. That first line is simply stating “They’re objective”.
• The second line is saying “Issue them now to everyone.” and tells people to slot them “in”.
• The third line explains his own personal need for them, and how urgent his feelings to that end are.
• The fourth line is there to simply state that once the above three lines are fullfilled, ultimate GW2 balance will be achieved.

He’s actually very happy about Sinister stats, and when read right this is actually very zen.

Hold me down, I think I’m about to ascend! :D

You must be american xD LOL

Can always run a hybrid shatter with illusions line instead of chaos and sinister gear. I mean it’s full on and prolly not forgiving but still, I know some crazy people that have run it.

It’s not the stats that need balancing, it’s condition mesmers in general. At the moment, in PvE, which is the only place sinister stats are useful our ratios vs NPCs are still somewhat too low, and shattering (Which contains the majority of our condition application) just isn’t worth it when compared to phantasms.

If you buff sinister stats, you end up buffing the already dominating sinister engineers. What does need to happen are improvements to confusion/torment in PvE, primarily confusion as it’s the most mesmer heavy of all the conditions (While torment is seen in quite a lot of other places), or buffs to PvE condition mesmers in general.
