Guild Wars 2

Since the original thread was closed because mesmers couldn’t keep it civil, I will try again.

Mesmers have too many active defenses combined with their burst which makes them OP. For me as a theif, if I want a on demand stealth I need to spend initiative point as a D/P to obtain stealth which limits my near future damage output. And when I do appear out of stealth I am very squishy which makes up for my high burst. And unless I’m a condi build with pistols, when I enter stealth my opponent generally knows I will appear in melee range. Mesmers have non of these drawbacks while enjoying stealth.

Mesmers can’t have it all. Something needs to give: high burst, stealth, interrupts, stuns, blinks, pulls/pushes ect. ect. ect.

Thanks op, I needed a solid belly laugh this morning.

Anyway, to quote our least favorite salad…‘this won’t end well…’

Why do you thieves always complain about everything? Like really. LOL

Thieves have all that too, apart from “pushes”.

You know you get infracted for reposting the same thread a mod closed, right?

And your perception that Mesmers are perfect screams L2P. Some people have solid, detailed arguments about what aspects of Mesmer need to be worked on / looked at from the perspective of not just one class and can present them in a way that opens for discussion. Give actual examples, rather than “active defenses need toning down.” Give comparable numbers rather than “too much stealth.”

You make an ambiguous nerf thread and then are surprised when people argue with you? Dude.. What’re you doing?

That being said. The fact that this community argued to the point of causing mod intervention is a little disappointing.

This is what happens when you give a person free lunches for 3 years then take it away.

I read that thread. Most of the arguing went on in a different forum. The discussion isn’t really different after it gets moved to the mesmer forum. Either a LOOOT of posts got deleted, or it was just the usual fighting you get when a troll provokes people.
