Guild Wars 2

Has anyone tried this? A mesmer that focuses on attacking at a range a throwing up reflects to mitigate ranged damage?

I’ve played reflect mesmers to support zergs in the past, when iwarden wasn’t nerfed. Tight spaces like bridges and gates are the key. For instance, there was a prolonged fight at SM inner gate once when I did insane amounts of reflect back to the enemy. With all the lag, culling, and particles flying it was impossible to avoid the curtain reflect.

I’ve seen some rather crazy stuff happen too, like one time when a ranger killed himself against a warden I spawned below a keep. The ranger was alone, no pressure, but never realized it’s his own attacks.

Nowadays there aren’t real zergs anymore. It’s either serious guild fights which I’d rather join with my Guardian, or small ops where investing in the Vitality tree doesn’t pay.
