figured that would be the case.
Critical Announcement
After much deliberation I have decided NOT to update the build list myself. Instead, I’m handing over the reigns to someone else who is more in the loop/invested. Once they have made a new build post I will contact the moderators to swap my build list with their updated list.
As for the website, I ran into a lot of difficult coding issues that I do not have the knowledge to fix. I don’t believe I can shape the website in a way where it’s really useful and helpful for the mesmer community and I’m therefore also discontinuing that project.
That said, since I still have the domain name for a year I will be happy to give that to anyone trustworthy who can really make it into something special but it’s totally cool if nobody is interested in such a huge commitment. I just figured I’d offer to give it over to someone in the mesmer community first.
I know this is a big 180 degree turn around and to explain that; I lost interest in the whole theorycrafting side of mesmer when my initial builds were largely invalidated in the meta two or so years ago. Since then, I haven’t really kept up with what is meta nowadays nor been active much on the forums and I feel woefully out of the loop. I just don’t think I’m qualified enough anymore or the right person for the job to continue these projects.
As to why I was trying to revive this project anyway…. After the announcement that an expansion was coming and the potential exciting changes with that I became motivated again to set something up that the community could benefit from.
My intent has always been to provide a helpful source to the community but it quickly became clear it involved a lot more work and knowledge then I was able or motivated to provide and wanting to help the community was just not enough to make up for my lack of passion for mesmer theorycrafting.
Eventually I just had to concede that I really just wasn’t interested in doing any of this anymore, that I no longer know what I’m talking about, and that I was just fooling myself into thinking other wise so the best thing I can do now is to admit and accept that and let people who are more involved in the community take these projects over rather than stringing you all along, waiting for updates.
I was just being stubborn because this has been my project ‘my baby’ for so long even though I’ve neglected it horribly… it’s hard to let go of something you started out of a passion and admitting that you lost that passion a long time ago. I’m sure most of you will understand that.
All this said, I will still be around, still love GW2, still love mesmer, this is not a goodbye just handing over the reigns of these projects. I will do anything I can to help with this transition so feel free to PM me with any questions, concerns, suggestions etc. I hope this will be a new fresh start for the mesmer community, just in time for expac.
Mesmer really does have an amazing community compared to most other professions, a community that is passionate and goes beyond what is required to help new people get involved and learn how to Mesmer. I’m proud to have been a part of that in the past, to have been able to help shape this community when it was in it’s infancy, and to have seen it thrive since then. Special shout out to everyone involved with [OMFG] and everyone whose been making builds, guides, and videos to help others. Keep up the great work

I made some points about chrono which some of u might consider helpfull here:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/mesmer/Some-help-needed-with-Chronomancer/first#post5821344
Is this guide at all relevant any more?
No. A lot of the stickied threads need to be unstickied. So many updates have happened since this thread has been updated.

It’s why I put in large writing at the top that the build list is outdated and linked more current websites for builds. It would be nice to have a new stickied post with the latest builds but nobody wants to make it and keep it maintained.
Besides these days everyone just uses QTFY or Metabattle so there isn’t really a need. Just consider the build list a relic of the old GW2 days (can’t believe that’s now a thing, time flies).
