To be fair the engi one is a bug. The rest seem as intended.

Here’s the shortcut to the Guardian

It kind of reminds me of the old confusion burst in WvW, only without any of the skill/setup to land it, or the factor of necessary skill spam to proc the damage ticks. Once you got that burning, you ded XD

Nearly killing (he even died multiple times) a full tank guardian wearing sentinel amulet in one second shouldn’t be possible. >.<

On the flip side, now he’d have to actually fight offenders off his point if he wants to maintain it instead of just having a nap there :p

5,7k tick xD and they say that 3k, tested on golem was op…

So mesmer damage is too strong because you can nearly kill people who are standing still and not reacting to you at all with a shatter burst in a 1v1 ? I don’t think so. Mesmer damage is not over the top at all. In fact, our damage is in line with what other burst classes/builds can do. And mind you, without having to do a piano concerto on their keyboard to pull it off. The only difference is, now mesmer is not operating at a disadvantage anymore. It is a strong class with a lot of good offensive and defensive mechanics.

There are just so many things this video does not take into account. First, it implies that balance should revolve around how something performs in a 1v1 scenario and the video only shows things from a 1v1 perspective. There is no group play in the video. Second, it doesn’t take into account the person actively reacting to what you’re doing. Third, it doesn’t take into account the offensive/defensive skills, traits and boons that can be used to mitigate your damage. And finally, it only shows the damage under the most ideal of circumstances. In group play I don’t feel mesmer damage is too strong at all. Is it stronger? Yes, absolutely. But so is everyone else’s damage. And not just that but most of the classes got really strong buffs to their defense as well. For example, engineers who spec into alchemy and inventions have excellent defense while having strong offensive pressure. And when you combine that with people actively reacting to your offense and things like protection, regen, stability, burst healing coming from the player AND their team everything pretty much evens out in the end. You can see this in action in the last ESL weekly cup: http://www.twitch.tv/jebrounity/v/6584207

I talked with supcutie who has been scrimming tops teams a ton and he feels the same way.

Now with all that said, I do agree with burning is absolutely ridiculous right now. Even in a group setting burning would be insane. There is no way you should be able to get 16k+ burning ticks. I mean yea, it is just one condition and it can be countered pretty well with good condi clear but I don’t think it should be as strong as it is currently.

They fought toward the end of the video by the way.

Dmg is fine on mesmer, they just now can do combinations to have amazing survivability with mantras and still have insane burst spike dmg on top of it. Keep dmg the same, just lower the survivability a bit and it should be fine. Also it’s not THAT hard to land a burst spike from invis on a tanky person who is already busy with 2 other people , just saying.

Burning will be nerfed so regarding the guardian it’s sort of a ‘enjoy it while it lasts’ type thing.

he wasnt tanky at all. the time i watched the mesmer burst the guardian all the way down he was wearing carrion. so hardly any toughness in that build.
again he was wearing a carrion amulet. unless later on in the video he changes it.

just fyi

The fact that Anet is ignoring it while prioritizing Mesmer nerfs makes that a moot point.
