Guild Wars 2

Title (and it seems like thief skills go on cd too). Testing this out with a mate right now. This may be the best skill ever.

Edit: Pyroatheist confirmed. Also here’s independent proof in picture form. http://i.imgur.com/rJ2U1pz.jpg
You can see my friend is both a thief and has his auto attack on cooldown.

No way, if it works on all thieves skills, we just became viable :P

can’t get in game to test this right now, does anyone know if this is true? Seriously an insanely awesome trait if so, and sadly will absolutely be nerved into oblivion as well :-/

It should be nerfed so it doesn’t put aa’s on cd but it should still work on thieves skill’s

Works on Ele AA Skills too. lol. How long does it take to be fixed?

Keeping in mine that it is a grand master trait so you gonna have to drop 30 point (6 post patch) i think it deserves some Opy goodness.

But prepare for the inevitable thief rage/crying.

Well i think it —-——- Whoops sry wrong Thread.

sshhhh…the anet ninjas will hear us…just hush and eat our bananas quietly

Ill just post it in the bug forum now >_>

Can confirm. Autos go on 10s cd.

This is the kind of skill that can never be 100% balanced even when it only works on skills (vast scaling with player skill), but if it shuts down autoattack there is a 0% chance of this ever being balanced.

Hey it is not a bug, it is a feature. Working as intended, they wanted interrupt Mesmers

OMG. That’s awesome. Hopefully not a bug.

What next, we get backfire and empathy? Diversion and blackout? Oh how I miss the real mesmer play..

Putting auto attacks on cd is def. too much, but it should hit thieve’s skills. Heartseeker on 10 sec cd… would be so awesome to see bad thieves just stand there not knowing what do to not being able to spam 222222222

If they would design the game to be less about the #1 slot I would agree it wouldn’t be as OP. But currently the game’s design revolves a lot around that to push out ‘pvp threat’, or damage, which the trait severly reduces.

But I completely agree that it would be cool if it could be a thing, if autos were less potent. Logically it should work like that.

This guy gets it

The game, as it stands now and has been since launch, is heavily dependent upon the slot 1 skill. This isn’t totally true for all the professions, but for the majority of them, it holds true.

Not sure why many of you can’t wrap your head around it and are only simple minded enough to instantly think something has to be “nerfed.”

OP – Delete this thread.

This trait is an instant contender if its really putting thief skills on CD. They were a very tough matchup to lockdown specs pre-patch, and this could really shut them down.

Interrupt a d/p thief HS, he can’t stealth for 10s.

Interrupt a s/p thief pw, he can’t pw for 10s.

That’s insanely potent and very reminiscent of gw1 mesmer play.

It is working. Trust us.

I’ll post in this thread as well, last night I interrupted my friends as he was stomping and he said they couldn’t stomp anyone again for some time. Can someone test if it just prevents stomps for 10s or more?

weapon swap does exist, hell ele has 4 swaps. I don’t understand why people think this is godlike OP.

Meanwhile ele is an uncrittable tank, that melts off conditions and has unmatched mobility. thief and necro got life steal…

So…. Puts shade glasses on any feedback?

Lol, this needs to be fixed ofcourse…CD’S on AA’s is just pathetic…also the mesmer just became viable somone said…dude, get real: The mesmer is the MOST OP class in game and far FAR more superior than a warrior…invisibilty-teleport-clones-Moa morph … and insane damage spam and not even having to know where your foe is….cause it’s all autotargeting ranged spam…mesmer needs either a nerf in damage or range…of at least 33%…. hush…you all know it’s true

Why do I compare it to a warrior?….cause the warrior is always the example of being OP. Fact is….the warrior is not even remotely close of being as OP as a mesmer…stop the sharade….mesmer needs a monster nerf

Just because you don’t know how to fight a mesmer doesn’t mean we’re op. Players at the highest level hardly consider mesmer viable for a good reason. We do everything thieves do but worse. Please troll a different subforum because your arguments will never have any validity here.

pls stop

Darksteel.8412:

if any class needs to be nerfed/destroyed and buffed occassionally to see what it lacks than…it’s gotta be the mesmer…the mesmer is extrrrrrremely overpowred….noobs be getting super results everywhere on mesmer…cause the utility skills etc are far far far more superior than that of any other class

Darksteel.8412:

good nerfs would be….range decreased by 75% of the mesmer and it’s clones…or damage reduction by 50-66%, cause the spam fest along the invisibilty from the mesmer is just rediculous…w8 it has an escape teleport too right?

Darksteel.8412:

or when you control 3 clones or more…you take double damage…the mesmer that is ofc

I know how to fight a mesmer…but it’s getting lamer and lamer…you don’t know what to expect anymore…moa-cd’s on AA’s now from what I read than it’s invibility…thing is; and this can’t be denied…the mesmer has too diverse and way OP utilty and now elite skills/traits compared to all other classes…now that’s ok…but be honest something needs to be nerved bigtime…I suggest either range or damage…again stop your sharade and hiding behnd “just cause u don’t know…”

How does this trait stack with daze and daze duration?

ow yea and autotarget ranged daze of 3 sec…I totally forgot lol….mesmer needs nerf!

I remember anet saying that GW2 doesnt have AAs. You define your AA yourself by tagging it so this is totally legit

Seeing as how I’m 100% positive you’re just not a good player maybe you should just make a mesmer and test out how op we are. Until you do that you’re just a supremely ignorant person that’s cluttering this thread with terribly inaccurate complaints.

this just approves to hwat I’m saying…you just want more and more free wins/kills….might be fun now…but stuff like this will contribute into thi game dying fast…pvp-wise…and you all know it’s not that vital as it is…even after the patch..XD

have a good day mister pro mesmers….aka sir spamalot’s XD ^^

Power block confirmed, works on res/stomp.

Pyroathiest.4168:

Power block confirmed, works on res/stomp.

Does that mean if you interrupt a stomp/res they can’t use it for 10 seconds?

Correct.

Whelp, time to abuse the trait thoroughly in pvp until it gets nerfed to the ground fixed.

lol yea, but arguements were invalid right….I overreacted…on purpose: too point out that the mesmer is OP as kitten…and it will contribute into an even worse pvp community XD…I’m always right…like always

oh. my. god. I know what ill be running in PvP later on =p

It’s pretty sad that the average person on the forum thinks this lowly of Anet’s ability to dev.

Everyone in this thread is basically saying “Anet doesn’t test jack kitten”

Do you guys really think this trait isn’t working as intended? It would be a MAJOR oversight to not test these things, worse than child neglect.

Pitty Power Block doesn’t work on people in forums.

uhhhh zepidel…it’s a very common problem that has been present since the release of gw2 and as of today obviously still not fixxed :P get it right

but enjoy ur game lol…im going for some wvw…got my pvp ranks and rewards etc alrdy so…just hoped the game would be more reasonable and slightly more balanced…one can only hope lol

I don’t mind a class having different options/utility skills…obviously the mesmer excells at these things…but at least let have a drawback…like damage/ranged being nerved..different roles are cool..great even. it’s what gw2 needs more…but a class being able to spike like madness at range with all those extra options/tools…come on man…get real ^^

This trait is so much better than I thought it would be. Definitely competes with CI and doesn’t completely kill the 6/2/6 build now.

Nm, forget I said anything, it’s getting hotfixed.

I’ll refrain from commentary here, because I’d get permabanned from these forums.

Can I ask what it is they intend to change, love?

Power block will no longer affect ressing and stomping. I’ve also heard that the devs consider blocking aa’s and thief skills as unintended behavior, so I’ll assume they’re removing that as well.
