Guild Wars 2

Remember, if your answer is Tormented or Wall of the Mists, your sense of style and originality as a Mesmer is slipping.

What, your (asuran) mesmer will not slay monsters with Princess Wand and Tormented Shield while flying ? O.o

Crafted the Wall of the Mists (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Wall_of_the_Mists) the moment it was official announced.

Maybe the new legendary shield will be a purple misty Clock engine showing the real world time ? That’d be awesome.

or in the shape of a giant butterfly and leaves a trail of rainbow butterflies…

I’m surprised no one mentioned chronomancer’s signature shield, too dark for people’s taste?

Not nearly enough purple.

My Mesmer’s weapon theme is fancy particle effect weapons for maximum distraction and flair. Which there aren’t all that many of for shields, at least not compared to some weapon types. Still, I’ve come up with a couple I like.

The first one being the Dead Stop shield skin, which I had bought way back when it was first introduced but have yet to actually use even to this day. Didn’t fit either of my current shield-wielding characters (Engie uses animal themed weapons, Guardian uses crystals), so I was originally planning on using it for a future Warrior. But now that Mesmer is getting Shield, I think it’ll fit nicely on my Mesmer. It’ll be neat seeing a bunch of clones running around with grinning tombstones. It is a little oversized, which I’m not a huge fan of, but the awesome effect is worth it.

The second one I’ll be using is the Ley Line Shield. I’ve already got a couple of Ley Line weapons on my Mesmer (Greatsword and Pistol) because I really like the pulsing blue aura and general look of the weapons, so one more will fit nicely. And I do quite like the look of the shield, its got a nice size and shape to it. The gaping hole in the middle would be a potential issue if I were using it on a martial class, but since Mesmer uses it magically, ’is all good.

I would have probably chosen the Dreamthistle Shield Skin over either of the above (or at least in addition to them) because its probably my favorite shield skin in the entire game, or at least one of them, but ’dat price… lol no.

So true, where are dev’s fashion sense.

^Very nice. I feel like the price of shields is going to skyrocket now that a fashion-conscious class with viable shield skills has access to it :P

is there any info about shield skills or if it´ll be condi or powerbased, or maybe nothing of both haha? cant find anything, cos my google foo is weak.

Sad and happy that we got shield. On one hand (no pun), we only get an offhand when we so desperately need a new one-main handed weapon.

On the other hand… I get to use Flameseeker Prophecies, my favorite legendary

also has a link to the POI that showed the Chronomancer in action.

Lovestruck, or go home!

Gonna go for the golden wing shield myself bc I like how it fits with my mesmer’s look. I used a black lion ticket to buy a tormented shield bc I imagined the price of that skin would go up quite a bit soon w/ all the mesmers clamoring to get it :p it is a really nice skin though and I don’t blame everyone for wanting it.

totally going Chaos Shield.

Zodiac Shield anyone ?

Can’t link right now, my main system farted and I have to use my fiancees laptop…

I went with the Zodiac Light Armor, a Bonetti’s Rapier and the white Ascended shield with the see-through dragon wing backpack. overall the look is very Chronomancer-ish and I have not seen ANYONE in the Zodiac set. Ever. It’s very strange…
