No problem Kylia D and Pyro are fantastic guys, and I am pretty excited about what they are going to do with the podcast. We have been shooting ideas back and forth, and they are ripped and ready to go.

I just listened to all of it while doing some SAB runs to pass the time and relax without doing much.
Really great and was pretty entertaining, I’m looking forward to more!
Awesome initiative, grats!

Thanks, the guys are great, and we have enjoyed working with them so far.

Added the Special Q and A video and podcast

bumping because the first podcast just hit 737 youtube and 757 audio only passing Symbolic’s for most listened to podcast.

Congratulations on breaking 2000 downloads for the first episode. I am blown away by the response from the Mesmer Community. I know Kylia and Pyro are excited about what the future holds!

Sittingonacouch.com is proud to introduce our first ever EU Tournament update featuring some of the top EU Tournament players. Each month we will feature some exciting tournament stories, current in game metas, tips and tricks, and a special guest solo queue player. This week our hosts talk about leaderboards, team makeups, favorite maps, ma kitten ues that need to be fixed and some of their favorite tricks for tournament play. SOAC Gaming is proud to feature as our hosts Danto of Team Curse, Battosai of Team IDL, and the currently number 1 ranked EU player Denshee of Team IDL. Symbolic of Team Paradigm was unable to make this podcast, but we hope to catch him back in a few of our future ones.
Throughout this podcast, you get to know some of the best players in the tournament game today, and hear their take on what really matters in today’s game. They give feedback on some of the current meta’s. You get to hear them rage against the Spirit watch, explain why the Ranger is one of the most underrated classes in the game, and give a detailed perspective on each map. We also map out the direction we want to take into the future. Give us your feedback, and let them know that you want to hear more.

We are going to expand to two hours next month so send us your questions for the next podcast.

Our pleasure, keep the questions rolling and we will keep answering them

Also if you have an idea that would make a great episode, great section or even just a great statement, let us know, send Pyro or Kylia a PM on the forums and it might appear on an episode!

On April 25th, sittingonacouch.com put on a Tournament extravagana that had never before been seen in Guild Wars 2. 30 players showed up and formed 5 specific profession teams. It was a great time full of fun. Here are some of the videos of those matches!

I am still waiting on the Mesmer/Necro/Guardian videos.

Due to real life events, and the Tournament event last Thursday we are unfortunately unable to have a mesmerized podcast this week. However Mesmer Mondays will return next week to discuss the patch and all things Mesmer related!

Also I will be joining the gw2guru stream today at 5:30pm PST/GMT -8

Hi Everyone!
Check out our latest podcast where our two hosts, Kylia Deprigen and Pyroatheist address the latest patch, they breakdown all the changes that have effected our beloved class, from sPvP changes to item changes and WvW changes. And of course finally the big changes to our class, including one close to our podcasters hearts… Confusion.

April Patch Release Breakdown

As always Pyro and Kylia bring you differing thoughts and opinions but ultimatly provide you with a podcast that is about and for their favorite class… The Mesmer!

oh like your latest one.discussing the good and bad points of the changes was very insightful for me.

This week our two hosts, Kylia Deprigen and Pyroatheist interview one of the most knowledgeable Mesmers in GW2, Grimm, the creator of the Seven Mirror Mesmer Build.

Grimm sheds a light on the state of Mesmers, the latest patch, and basically what it takes to be such an intuitive and great Mesmer, he will have you hooked and wanting more than the hour we have with him!

http://sittingonacouch.com/the-gw2-mesmer-podcast-mesmerized-interview-with-grimm-seven-mirror/

I 100% agree with you on the confusion change. It was the “easier change” so it was what was done instead of the “correct change”.

I also 100% agree with you about thief reveal. But hey, this was the patch that caters a bit more to people who don’t pay attention … including the Ranger pet buffs that I’m currently enjoying.

The last few podcasts were very strong, but not many listens so far. Just wanted everyone to know it’s there!

I think you should update the title of this topic every time there’s a new podcast.

Something like “[Mesmerized] Updated: 8th May – Seven Mirror” and have the new video at the top of the page under “new” or something.

Oh and episode numbers might help too

Refer to my forum topic in my signature to see what I mean. Might help?

GL!

Awesome idea! +1

Good show as always, it was really positve and hopeful. I look forward to the next evolution of builds that will open up for us.

Since Kylia has access to a concentrated group of wvw mesmers, I’m wondering if it would be possible to make a request. Some night when you all are bored, maybe you could all try to run a mantra healing support build (along the lines of Fay’s Panacea build)as a large mesmer group? I’m curious how viable it is for a large group zerg situation and would love to see it in action. I’ve been thinking that with 5-10+ mesmers it might net some pretty interesting results. Video footage (good or bad) for analysis would be stellar!

Also isn’t it time to get Fay on the couch?

Ummm the Mantra thing, not the Fay on a couch thing! :p

And yes working on getting Fay on the couch…

Yeah, that’s been one of my main goals for a while…

If I was Fay right now, I would be concerned as the current wording could be taken several ways, lol.

Lmao @ word choices.
Also, +1 to Flimp’s idea.

By the way, I highly recommend this podcast to anyone who hasn’t listened to it. I’ve LOVED the last two. The podcast seems to be only getting better.

The humor in this latest one amused me as well … though not too surprising given the hosts and SevenMirror as guest.

Ha ha! I should have perhaps worded that differently but if it made people laugh, I’ll take it. Hopefully I didn’t scare Fay away. I just think there are some mantra builds that have potential for being the next mesmer “zerg buster” and would love to hear some input. Can a large group of mesmers running mantra of pain and mantra of distraction shut down a zerg with constant heals and dazes? If anet wants to push mantras at us, can we make it viable in T1 and T2 wvw?

There we go! I did the update correctly this time, and will start doing it that way each time :P

Oh my, fighting over who gets to ‘get me on the couch’. I’m afraid I don’t have a mic atm and going through some real life stuff currently so I can’t right now. Maybe in the near future big ‘Maybe’

Fay.2735:

Oh my, fighting over who gets to ‘get me on the couch’. I’m afraid I don’t have a mic and going through some real life stuff atm so I can’t right now. Maybe in the future big ‘Maybe’

Tease! :P Okay, can I ask which of your builds do you think, if a large group mesmers ran in a zerg, would have the most potential for healing and shut-down? What would be good for Kylia to test since he has the access to a coordinated group of mesmers. I was thinking Panacea but passiflora trinkets, etc are painful to get.

Given I’ll probably have to fund the 10+ sets of gear… let’s start with utils and traits first :p

I just have a rare set of passiflora gear for now and it works pretty good. That reminds me that I have a video ready for editing for that build but as I said going through some hard times atm. So ‘may’ be able to work on it in a week or two. Will see!

Also I’m hoping to find a way to get on the NA side of things so I can play with all of you

Sorry, I’m just excited! I’ve been thinking about this ever since the patch and it’s killing me! My guild has pretty much stopped running with more than two or three mesmers so I can’t test anything beyond my own game play.

If that’s a sincere invite I might have to consider it. Although, I don’t know if AVTR could handle this much exuberance and cosmic fabulosity. It’s infectious… all your mesmers will end up running around with pink princess wands while shouting, “Pain, Agony, Torment”. ha ha! :P
