Mesmer Damage in sPvP
What weapon are you using? I think you picked up one of the violet / legandary static weapons, which are just for testing. Pick up an orange / exotic one

ye I think you are using wrong weapons . Mesmers owns faces in hot join pvp. It’s so easy I don’t even do it anymore.

you should play with exotic builds. Its kidda fun losing with a build that has very strange quarks.
Not to derail thread, but how do mesmers rank with regard to damage in PVE (dungeons)? Say, compared to other scholar professions, engineer, or ranger specced for damage?
theres absolutely something wrong and teutos can be right.
@moonrabbit: mesmer’s damage is amazing, everywhere. its one of the best class you can find for a dungeon run, capable of big bursts and at the same time good survivability and group utilities. support or not, damage is still better than many classes.
I’m fairly confident that I’m using the right weapons. I’m stuck at work but I’ll be sure to check when I get home.
Science will be conducted shortly.
Mesmers may have good bursts, however, getting that damage through is a whole other story.
It’s easy to dodge the bursts. Easy to kill the illusions before a burst. Easy to use boons to block or go invul before a burst.
In the long run, we’re not superb.

I am thinking of dungeons where boons and invulnerability are a minimal concern. In this environment, how does a mesmer stack against an ele, necro, eng, or ranger when specced for dps (ST or AoE)? I am aware of the mesmer’s strong utility and weak OOC mobility. However, I have seen mixed assertions regarding damage capabilities.

Mesmer single target damage when specced for phantasm damage is difficult to beat. Aoe is significantly weaker though.

Sorry for more dumb questions… I was under the impression that shatter was the key damage spec and that it was pretty good for AoE, though perhaps this is for PvP/WvW.

Shatter is good for aoe. It’s also very bursty, and reliant on your clones making it to the target. In terms of sustained dps, a phantasm build will definitely outdamgae shatter in PvE. This is especially true on larger bosses that tend to accumulate conditions, and using warlocks, as they scale 10% damage per condition.

you also forgot about blinds
Oh yes, how could I?
Blind is becoming a huge pain in the kitten Not only do I not get damage through, which makes sense, but my survivability goes down the drain because I can’t get illusions up without doing damage.
I’m trying so hard not to play meta. I can’t stand the idea of being forced to meta to win. kitten is difficult creating something original for yourself without running into these crap mechanics.
