Guild Wars 2

Is mesmer good for pve and spvp atm ?

Thanks.

“Good.” Yes, mesmer is good.

I would not say that it is the best is some areas. Though it most certainly is up there

in spsp we are doing fine atm, also pve and roaming. zerg fighting not so much. we need a little love in the aoe area as our clones and phantasms die too quick in a zerg and also we are to squishy in those situations.

Mesmer’s good at everything except AOE killing mobs.

we’re suffering a bit in wvw ZvZ, but hopefully the next patch will give us some more options…

We’re one of the best (if not the best) dueling classes.

We can also hold our own even when outnumbered.

But as everyone has said, we suffer in larger scaled fights.

Can’t have it all!

Yes.

Also, our power in zerg v zerg lies in utility: healing/reflects/boon stripping and sharing/condiyion removal etc. sadly, thats traded for aoe damage (but you have enough to tag most) :c

The Warrior laughs at you.

Fair point.

Which is why everyone and their mothers are warriors.

It is the best with exception of all others.

Warrior lacks in raw DPS output and has relatively poor AOE capabilities outside of cleave. They are balanced in just about everything (as they were meant to be) but that comes at a price.

Right, and the guild I’m in wipes pug blobs.

Saying you can kill bads is about as much of an achievement as me saying I’ve been in a group that can clear CoF p1 consistently in 5 1/2 minutes.

we do lack some tagging options in zvz, but i have no problems staying alive, i have about 3.4k attack, 2.4k armor, 16.5k hp, with zerker and knight mix gear (mostly zerker), while staying stacked with a zerg busting commander taking down double our size, i’ve always been one of the last standing. might have to do with my PU and other synergistic traits, that give me alot of aegis, protection, regen which procs protection, which is constant even while i’m on my own, especially with a zerg it’s always there… i’ve had no issues staying alive, but tagging yeah its slow i reckon i should swap to a 1h sword and just swing it to tag things lol

I’d say mesmer is pretty well balanced, in a good place, it’s not like completely OP, but it definitely doesnt suck and you can adapt into diff situations. Certain builds are getting quite popular and people always say how strong it is, cuz when you build that way you’re pretty much a guardian/necro/thief hybrid xD theres a lot of ppl who hate fighting mesmers… which says how its pretty nice in general. but nothing like the necros that everyone thinks is OP xD

well and thats myproblem. if u dont pve or duel much, because u like fighting in zergs, then u feel the lack of aoe. i miss the good old glamour builds and anet overreacted with a huge massive nerf to it. nowadays that all other classes have been buffed, im sure the glambombs wouldnt be this terrible for the enemy anymore. maybe give the mesmer a trait that gives us 10-15 percent more confusion dmg, would help us to not be support only.
when glam was still very strong, we were the ones punishing mindless spammers and zombie zergs, but it was just a press a few buttons for the win. u had to time your glams well and it needed skill.
or maybe a new trait could help us too.

in spvp we are very strong and i think the qq will not stop ever. it feels like ages ago since anyone has ever cried about a mesmer i in a zerg…..
