Guild Wars 2

Me in solo/group vs some big guild groups, as a dps shatter mesmer. This isn’t zerg busting. It’s guild group busting, and it’s a lot harder than busting random zergs. The guild we fought had an actual team comp that did more than just spam 1 which made it difficult for me to survive in. Build and info is in link; I’ll try my best to answer any other questions as soon as possible.

Stay tuned for next vid, gathering enough clips to make a shatter guide for group play in outnumbered situations.

Good work as usual Joe, can’t wait for the next video

Great vid Joe! Music was really nice too

Nice one!

Kinda curious what build your guard buddy is running. =)

Thank you for sharing Sarbear’s build.

Thanks for the feedback, you should thank sarsbear for the build. He’s pretty much gonna quit once ESO full release comes out

What Mugi said.

Wow this vid was beast just like your vid 3. Can’t wait to see your shatter guide w/ staff + sword pistol. Are you gonna change your gear when they nerf the cd by 10%? What about your 3 piece celestial + celestial staff, and what sigils will you use when you can double stack the cooldowns?

Thanks! I’ll have to see the changes to the celestial if its really significant or not. If so, I’ll prob have to go back to being full zerker to keep my damage up w/ prob double battle sigil/energy sigils to make up for the -10% cd lost. What you think about that?

I just hope they compensate for the waste of crafting celestial armor + 5 laurels for each celestial piece with the wvw infusions.

Yeah it sounds reasonable, sucks that you won’t be at 116% cd anymore and would have to make it up with the battle sigil. For the celestial, I doubt they’d compensate back 20 laurels (20 days worth of dailies)/matts/money/time that you invested in it. Well on that note, you’ll be able to go back to your roots in full zerk again but won’t have highest cd anymore

YESSS nerf joe pls, now I can duel him and win! Jk you’d guys wreck me in 5v5 group fights lol.

Nonetheless, amazing vids as always Joe. Loving those beautiful style stomps & phase retreats forward during the fights when you’re getting trained. I laughed when everyone in vent was telling you to go pu mesmer too haha.

Thanks guys appreciate the feedback, I don’t think I’m ever gonna change to a different spec. Been shatter for idk how long, and planning on sticking with it. Despite the past nerfs, I’ve still been able to make the class viable for group spec and been managing it barely with the silly bugged iLeaps. I wish anet would reconsider on the condition meta though, its completely pitiful they nerf direct damage but not nerf condi at the same time. As strong as condi meta is atm, its ridiculous that my full shatter combo barely leaves them with like 10% hp, so 10% crit damage nerf would really make it hard to kill the bunker condi specs.

Great Vid Joe! Keep the Mesmer vids coming!

What about force sigil for 5% damage? Instead of sigil of battle for might stacks? Since sometimes I noticed you stay in staff when you get trained or stay in sword/pistol when you’re on the offense and able to free cast. That way it’d make up for the -10% crit damage lost.

Sound’s good but force will only apply to direct damage only, I’ll prob most like use the sigil of battle on double swap. Only because it applies to the condi’s & direct damage which will prob be higher damage overall. My build atm is just built for raw base damage/crit damage/high crit chance, so if I have 25 stacks of might on top of all that, then it’d make up for the -10% crit damage reduction nerf.
