Guild Wars 2

I really couldnt find what are the pros of mesmer in wvw? (except veil, portal, and timewrap)

Behind portal and veil, feedback is probably next. The reflection capabilities with the mesmer (feedback, traited focus and other sources) are some of the best of all the classes.

yes i in, best reflect is feedback. in wvw (and etheral field, and trigger one of the best buff[Chaos armor vs anti spike]

however i would prefer wall of reflection it has 4 sec more duratioan with same cooldown. and if i prefer fast pull for focus. in versus fights with same number and competitive organised groups.

Anything u think mesmer is better than other classes?

engineer has alot of skills that mesmers have, but easier access, but there is a few things that make us unique. i would love to get a few new things so we are not looked at as veilbots

refelction is pretty good though

Duh, you get to be a mesmer and enjoy the unique mesmer gameplay. All other classes look like dull, withered potatoes compared to mesmer.

I have tried my best to stop comparing. Helps with the depression.

i am lack of experiance with other classes, since i start the game i just play mesmer class, never play pve except to make lvl 80 mesmer to can go wvw ,after i been rank 38 in pvp,
when i experiance to other classes more.. i start to judge mesmers.. just want to know do i miss something that mesmers are more effective than other classes? excatly in wvw and in unoffical gvgs?

I’ll say there are quite a few pros over other classes. One is our flexibility, but it’s more than that. We can easily run a great support style role (while doing solid damage) by booning up our allies. We can excel in a roaming role. We also have great survivability (despite having light armor and not a lot of access to swiftness).

would u choose guardian or mesmer for boon spreading primarly and giving solid damage and other alternatives? ithink guardian is more effective while boon supoorting and overall..
for survivability i think lack of break stuns stability or cond removal, i think eles,thiefs are more mobile, or guardians more survival, u pulled in to the bomb and get cc blink on cd, or stunned what u do, u have veil, portal or feedback or another skill rather preferable than decoy, mantra of concentration, mirror images, or signet of midnight in orginized team, thats why i cant leave ipersona trait, so it doesnt give any selection of builds as well..

In term of Sniping/ Shooting Ability

GS mesmer can’t be blocked by Anti projectile compared to other Shooter Classes.

Well that’s one Pros :S

Yeah kinda hard to find a Pros when comparing Mesmer with other classes Coz Mesmer is simply too Versatile

99% of the time neither veil or portal is on my bar. Having 2 readily available stun breaks (blink & decoy) is more than most classes. As you said you could always bring one of the others as well. I trait for torch and carry arcane thievery most of the time so condition removal isn’t much of a problem except if i play badly against a cond necro or engin. I take on 4+ foes all the time and the only other class which I see do this regularly is a heavy stealth thief. I’d say that is pretty darn good survivability.

Guardians can certainly do a good job of booning up their allies, but when I choose to take on that roll (which is only a minor trait skill change from my roaming build) I can pump 5+ boons to my allies every time signet of inspiration (14s) is available on top of the other boons my skills are providing them (depends on traits and what winds of chaos or chaos storm give them).

I would say one of the biggest pros for us is it is nearly impossible to pin a good mesmer down. Just Blink and Phase Retreat are enough to annoy anything trying to use stuns but there’s also all the clone swaps, Arcane Thievery and even Portal making it very hard to keep us in one place. Basically, anyone whom even hopes to defeat us better have a ranged weapon. If you include all of our reflects, then they have to know when to strike too.

lols.

… Bring back the glamour mesmer! All will fear us and our purple bubbles once more!

Mate, why are you obsessed with this question?
At the moment, we shine for our utility slots, because veil, portal and timewarp are very powerful options for commanders in organized groups.

Go on guardian forums and ask what are the pros of the guardian if you take away his support, or the pros of warriors if you take away their damage… mesmer in the current meta is mostly a utility profession: ANet can surely make us better in some aspects, but don’t be obsessed because you’re not a guardian or a warrior (or roll one if it is so important for you)
