PvE builds meta chages after HoT?
I will be playing a Rabid-Sinister mixed condition ChronoShatter… of sort…
Sorry to dissapoint you, But it’s highly unlikely that such a build will go meta. The meta itself won’t change that much, but we’ll definitely be more supportive with alacrity and quickness. Nonetheless, that doesn’t mean your builds aren’t viable. There is a strict distinction between meta and viable, so please play whatever you want as long as you’re with friends.
so if the condi builds replace the power builds, how will the mesmer compare with other heavy condi classes (engy and necro). or our role will be more utility based (with the quickness and alacrity things)
Do you think the mesmer PvE builds will chage after HoT release? Will bunker staff mesmers be viable? I would love to be able to play more supportive and tanky builds, I’m bored to play full zerk. Share your thoughts.
Supportive? Yes, chrono has got you covered there. Tanky? Not so much. You’ll always want to do as much damage as is possible in an encounter.
Chrono will absolutely be able to scratch your support itch though. Your primary role in a team is going to be pumping out alacrity and quickness to keep the rest of your party in turbo mode, with a side dish of heals, condie cleanse, and reflects.
Edit: Condie, power, there’s no difference. The only thing that matters is what’s putting out the maximum dps, and that happens to be sinister engineer atm. Alacrity+quickness will boost them just the same.
Take the current mesmer meta build. Replace your least favorite trait line with Chronomancer 3/3/3.
New HoT meta.

Wonder if the armor stats will stay assassin’s

Depends. If your running a night time dungeon run night and force if not run force and accuracy and thus beserkers.

That and the first raid boss didn’t have reflectable projectiles (even tho it did clearly have projectiles). Swaying me even further into 100% zerker territory.
