(This event, like most other OMFG events, is open to anyone who owns a Mesmer whether you are a member of the guild or not)

Anyone up for some Mes training? I personally need to learn to run some dungeons and wouldn’t mind helping some folks out in practicing for PvP/WvW. Will be shooting out whispers and announcing in Mists map chat this weekend.

Oh, also… Shooting for both US & EU, but I need to know optimal EU time schedules.


Vids from Last week:

  • US- 4v4 Battle

  • A snip of Tealot’s hybrid build

  • Chaos vs Icy (oww =[)

  • Chaos vs Xela (Fun fight! Dat pema-protection)

  • Practice with Jaded Sparrow and Phy (always cool to have someone new to PvP hop in and join us!)

  • vs Adruar

  • That neverending boonshare draw with Kentigem

A second batch of vids will be uploaded tomorrow, mostly from the EU side!

I was going to announce another pvp mes raid at the usual time, but maybe you could just run this at the same time instead?

Saturday 18th
7am West coast NA
10am East coast NA

Sunday 19th
2am (NZ), onward- Oceanic

Will that work?

I’d be up for dungeons, but I don’t do PvP or WvW.

Tried to make it on for this on Sunday but nobody was in the NA PvP server when I entered (I believe it was bad timing on my end). Will make it a point to catch the next one at the correct time(s)! Also just wanted to say a big ty to everyone in [OMFG] for making a newb like me feel right at home!

@ Happicakes, what time did you head into the arena? We ended up moving to EU after a while.

I think Mr. Archangel took some videos of complete Mesmer 4v4 in there. As well as some of PU Icy handling 1v3s. Not fun, not fun…

Vids are being uploaded. I ended up sick this weekend, so I was more bedridden than online, but heres some 4v4s and 3v3s and 3v2s from both the US and EU events.

Why were you guys trying to shatter burst icy -_-u

Rylock had the same delusions that he could 1v3/1v2 a full mesmer matchup post patch. While my allies pressured him I just summoned phants and sat patiently idle. When he did turn his attention on me I played full defence/prevention/mitigation. Mesmer is great at punishing aggressors.

Not saying icy isn’t amazing especially when he gets his pu setups out, but the strategy your team took made me sad. Need more Sun Tzu in your diet.

If they want, they can join [Teef] in dungeons and fractals to practice.

Strategy? I can’t speak for the others, but you give me too much credit.

I played pretty badly. I can play better, but I need to practice with a build to do that, and I need a motivation to practice before I’ll do it.

Winning 1v1s isn’t much of a motivation for me. I don’t care that much whether I win or lose a 1v1 for its own sake; it’s not what motivates me.

What motivates me is helping a team of friends have fun and perform well. What I’m looking for is a role in a team and a build that supports that role. Given those things, I have something to optimize and a larger goal that serves as motivation to optimize it.

No disrespect to others who are more motivated by 1v1 wins. It’s just not what holds my interest. Helping my friends succeed and have a good time is what motivates me.

@Tealots, was about thirty minutes to an hour (possibly more?) after I responded to Chaos’ whisper in game (had some stuff in my native guild to wrap up as an officer). Must have just missed everyone . Like I said, no big deal! Everyone in [OMFG] has been super nice so far and very helpful. Will catch the next one if able, and I’ll try to not make too big a fool of my casual try-hard self!

I’d like to see Icy’s build. I run a PU condition build myself sometimes, and I’d like to see what he’s running to see if it offers opportunities for improvement.

Pretty basic:

It’s just standard condi PU. Anyway, not sure about the first Dueling trait (I think he uses Phant Fury too); but it’s whatever.

So yea.
