Guild Wars 2

New mesmer here. I’ve found that mind stab just doesn’t want to hit anything. It doesn’t matter what range I’m at despite the skill having 1200 range. It just hits a random spot near me, and I’m unable to even hit anything with it.

Is there something I’m missing with this one? only works in combat or something like that.

its ground targetted, so u gotta move ur mouse on ur enemy…

^ dont get me wrong, not making fun of u, just in case u r an only keyboard user, u might not have noticed it

Ohh I see. Yes I have instant ground targeting enabled so I had no clue what was happening Thanks.

Every single time I switch from engineer to mesmer… kitten OP nades.

A player who doesn’t have ground targeting enabled? I-I think I’m going to cry! It makes me cringe whenever I see an Engi using nades and aiming with the ground circles with every ability.

Meh. My main contention with Mind Stab is the size of its AoE. It’s even more annoying after one fights Tazza in Sorrow’s Embrace. Now, that’s a freaking Mind Stab! I wonder how many Quaggans we need to sacrifice to get her version of the attack?

Haha yeah I don’t know how they can stand it. As you can all tell, I main an engi so this splains the confusion.

Ever since the 15th I’ve noticed that the skill goes on a 4sec cooldown when used on elevated ground rather frequently.. Especially in the middle of stairs or when I use it anywhere with a rather steep axis. It just doesn’t trigger properly! Sometimes it takes as much as three attempts to get it off..! I can’t be the only one who’ve noticed this?!

And, I use the same targeting settings as before.. If anyone can confirm that this isn’t just happening to me then I’ll add it to the mesmer bug list for fixing, in a year or two..

Very annoying that the mesmer class soon doesn’t have any properly functioning weapons to choose from! It really bugs the h*** out of me.. No pun intended!

Mesmers, the Daleks of GW2.

Can you elaborate on this? I have the option where when I activate an AoE ability, I get the circle that I position using the mouse. That is “best” option for Mesmer, right? Just making sure I’m not missing out on some setting I should be using.

There is an option where the ability is used automatically on the area where your mouse is aimed at. No green circle. It saves a little bit of time. Once you get used to it, it is more efficient than targeting with the green circle.

It’s less precise though. For an engineer spamming grenades, you don’t need that precision. For something like precision blinks…you do.

The practice part bypasses that though. The mouse turns red to notify you on the area of affect. Sure, if you just start off using it, or if your mouse suddenly acts erratic (happens to me sometimes), after using it for long enough, you can easily get off precision blinks and the like simply due to “muscle memory” if anything. For me, the only time I have a hard time with precision is situational awareness overload; that is, too much is on my screen for me to properly aim.
