Is this a joke?
So i heard some rumors about additional nerfs , this time on confusion.
Now , if this isnt obvious enough for the devs, the only problem about confusion is that it gets applied when dodging. THATS the problem, if the mesmer community is about to see another nonsense nerf because of a L2 kitten ue( yes, its all about watching the condition bar before spamming auto, the damage really isnt strong if you are careful at it) this will be really sick.Lets just not ruin mesmer even more, please.
Express your opinions and sorry if that sounded outrageous but if i wanted to play a boring and nonsense game id play cod.
Peace
I made a thread raising the question of what would happen if confusion was nerfed in WvW (IE what would the other mesmers do) because Jon Sharp has stated that they are splitting wvw and pve numbers wise in an upcoming patch and the first thing I saw getting hit was confusion because currently in PvP it does half the damage of PvE… So I raised the question not made a doomsday prophecy :P
Don’t think they’ll be nerfing it because that would be stupid (just looks how crappy confusion is in spvp). Would be nice if they reworked the whole condition though. I want to be useful in pve if running a condi build as a mesmer…
I see it getting a nerf, just like portal bombing, the casuals didnt know how to counter so they qq’ed until it got nerfed. Now they don’t understand that confusion doesn’t do anything if you don’t do anything. It’s not hard, bind stow weapon, when you get confusion stacks, press the key and disengage for a moment.

You don’t even have to bind stow weapon. Just press escape while you’re auto-attacking and you’ll stop auto-attacking. Another way to handle it is to switch to a weapon that hits less often.
well it is a rumor nothing else so far and i am sure the rumor has been started by people that think confusion is OP.If Anet gives into this nonsense, i’d be very disappointed. Confusion is working as intended imo.
Take a look at our mesmer forums: it’s full of trolls and haters, people that people that just wanna spam buttons and kill everything with no problem.
people that think if they have more numbers, their zerg is unstoppable by lets say a guild that has around 10 glam mesmers 2 guardians and 2 necros or so(hmm doesn’t that sound familiar,I wonder which guild im talking abaoutXD)…and oh well gets destroyed over and over.
they don’t watch flanks, they pvdoor, they are used to just steamroll everything by mashing buttons, well the mesmer punishes them for exactly doing that.
I had 2 thieves trying to backstab me, well they attacked e from the back and kept spamming 22222, they didn’t even notice that i had already put down nullfield and veil before they attacked me and once they were visible i cast feedback while standing there.
They kept mashing buttons and didn’t even realize that i created a clone and phase retreated behind them and watched the confusion ticks till they were down. SRY guys but L2P.

So they are going to balance for WvW…
\o/ YAY!
Confusion was increased for PvE because mobs that attack less frequently than another player. WvW uses PvE rules atm… thus it’s above what they might want for a PvP environment. It will probably be nerfed… but not too hard as there are PvE mobs in WvW… and there is more cleansing in WvW as well.
Thus… I would expect other things such as guardian’s dodge heal to be nerfed harder than confusion, but I do expect it to take a hit.

I ll ask you a thing…
Did you ever try to play an ele in www?
You have tons of cond removals….and yet they are not enough….
That is because of ethereal fields are not only comboed by mesmers you know?
(rethorical question most of you knows perfectly how to use that field in www, not to mention what necro can do….).
So basically you either have a daze lasting 10 seconds (or a moa morph?) or a huge dmg condition…..
WWW is not 1VS1……in 1VS1 i could maybe deal with it….
in zergs people cannot……unless they stop to cleanse and get roflstomped by opposing zerg….maybe with chaos armor and stuff.
Will confusion be nerfed? i think when they will look at damage logs they will for sure change something….
But most of all
Did you read they are splitting PvE and WWW so it will possibly left untouched in PvE!
A PvE player is supposed to avoid a 1-2 second 1 shotting aoe.
A WWW player is considered uncapable of avoiding a 5,75 second aoe for half his health.

Did you ever play a mesmer? confusion mesmers are useless in like 90% of PVE. Also, when you see a condition above your utility bar and it is confusion, what do you do? Attack some more, or wait a couple seconds and retreat? You probably want to mindlessly attack some more just by mashing your buttons and then you die.
mesmer is my main…
take your time to read before raging against players…..i explained why the theory of scrubs randomly spamming buttons is just a legend some mesmers players tried to spread.
Its not so…infact the issues are chaos storm. feedback and TW……if you don t know how combo fields work feel free to check wiki.

What I do when I got confusion entirely depends on the situation. WIth my warrior, I sometimes just continue to punch through the opponents. It all depends on how hard you hit and how high your hp pool is. Of course, some gimpy low hp class spamming loads of low damage attacks(shortbow gc ranger for example) should probably stop attacking with confusion, but a hammer warrior?
You gotta look for your surroundings and watch out for your condition bar, that’s true. However, sometimes just sitting through the confusion and continuing like nothing happened is the best thing, cause your team depends more on you laying down your attacks and chain disables in time than on you staying alive.
Who expects a warrior to stay alive anyway? You charge in, lay down the pain, go down and then hope for a rally… :P
