Guild Wars 2

I mean it, am I stupid are what.

All over the Mez forums I read over and over again. How the Mez suck at PvE.

So I must be missing something are blind maybe.

Since my Mez in dgns can handle entire mobs. Keep them off the team for the entire fight and even in most boss fights. While doing okay damage.

Which being able to protect the entire team like that is very important.

Then in normal pve, I can farm DE just like anyone else. Actually I can pull 5 mobs together and kill them in less then 5 secs. I can also solo champ, even through it takes a bit to kill them.

So plz someone explain what I am missing.

I mean I just read this one guy who said this(Though if you put me up against 3 mobs in PvE, I’m having to pull out all the l33t skills to do a little below a guardian’s or warrior’s damage. As a guardian with GS, I cleared through 10 mobs like nothing. As a Mesmer, that would be suicidal.)

So either I am dreaming up all the people who added me to there friend list. Because they love playing with me in dgn and even in reg pve content, because of how good a Mez is.

Are almost all who play the Mez have no ideal how to us it in PvE.

Since numbers usually wins, I must be the delusional one here are just planekitten

So plz someone help me, and explain to me about this.

P.S. I am new to english so sorry for the bad english.

About DEs, what’s your trick? We don’t have any spammable AoE, our best bet is a 8s CD on GS.. as far as I know.

But yeah.. there’s a lot of whining, not just about mesmer.

Gs and sword/focus.

Number 4 on gs, switch to other weapons really fast. Use number 4 again with focus. You gotta learn to aim this skill, but once ya do you can pull 5 targets all into one small area. Then 3 then 5 then 3 again. So they all stuck before they can move much and you got a warden right on therekitten #8217;s.(which is highest damage illu)
Then you press 2, and if they still alive which I doubt. just press 1. Sword is aoe on normal hit. Not a wide aoe but enough to hit all mobs you pulled close to each other. Number 2 is a aoe as well.

Could also use staff number 5 then switch to sword/focus pull all into it use warden then stick them, and then number 2.
This cause a multy combo, that majorly confuse them and help you.

There multy other combos to use as well.

I go with the gs with sword/focus.

Since thats what I am build for and gotten good at pulling 5 mobs close to one spot and them bam them hard.

Well you got a couple things completely wrong, other than your I’m so good at this why aren’t you, attitude. What level are you? What kind of gear do you have? Most of what I USED to read was complaints of tagging mobs at 80. DEs change a lot at level 80, and even at 60, which is where I’m at.

So aside from your patting yourself on the back, you haven’t really supplied any suggestions or even a real question due to lack of details. What people are saying when they compare to other classes is not that we can’t, its that we have to work much harder for the same result. Personally that’s what I love about the class but regardless I believe that is what your are misinterpreting as calling them underpowered.

Actually, a majority of posts lately have been minor tweaks and suggestions rather than complaints. In closing I would love th chance to add such an amazing mesmer to my friends list so I could pad your ego just a little more.

P.S. Your English is fine, I understand you better than half the people I run into.

First sorry if it looks like I am patting my self, just trying to figure this out. Since 4 out of every 5 threads I read I always see people putting down the Mez.

Second I am lvl 78(dont aim for lvling so I do a lot of side stuff like jp a lot), third name is Abriel Lafiel, fourth dont put up suggestion because this was not meant as a helping thread, but as a figuring out thread. Trying to fig out why so many people hate it in PvE, since I dont know why.

I got lvl 55 armor, been transmuted to T1 sylvari gear, and the shoulder pads to t2(dont like any of the other piece in T2 but loves the shoulder pads) but kept the normal lvl 55 gear mask look, I love how that mask look.

I go for vit/power/tough stats, right now grinding karma and badge to get lvl 80 armor with that stats(well not grinding, suck at it I do it for less then 30min then go do other stuff)

If I miss anything plz respown and ask me again.

DE tagging is not hard.

You just spam tab into iBerserker and hit F1 with Illusory Persona. Throw in F2 for more random AOE damage.

Most players find PvE slow because they use phantasm army builds, which have the longest build-up time for long-term DPS. Of course, normal mobs in PvE last all of like 5 seconds with a burst power build, so they QQ.

I find that largely the question in terms of power with the mesmer falls into the big number category. We are not the ones popping huge numbers outside of staff 3 in a meta-event. But we bring power/sustain to the rest of the group in everything we do.

I have an 80 Guardian and an 80 Mesmer. I tend to pull in 2 to 3 times as much loot at the end of a DE with my Guardian than I do with my Mesmer.

Mesmer is a very fun class, but trying to compete for tags in end-game DE’s is frequently rather frustrating when compared to other classes.
