Old Diversion, Cry of Frustration, Migraine, Mistrust

“#$%#!!

Word of Healing was diverted!

People think we’re annoying now, they haven’t played against a GW1 Mesmer yet… LOL

Oh and Arcane Languor.. that thing scares me every time it’s used against me

Sorry for the typos….

Most of my favorites have been listed all ready but they definitely need to look back at GW1 for some more inspiration for the Mesmer. Feels like we don’t have as much build variety now. So much I miss from there.

I loved Energy Surge and energy denial builds in general. I was so disappointed when I heard they took energy out of GW2 because I knew e-denial was dead.

it kinda feels like gw2 mesmers were made first, then they thought “lets make them cooler” and went back in time and put all the cool fun stuff in gw1

i miss all the IF THEN ELSE builds back then
now its just “which clones and phantasms do you want to deal with”

watered down lameness!

I kinda like GW2 mes more, but it’s more because it’s a total mental game, which i’m good at and have convinced so many players (some of which are regular paid tourney winners) into attacking my clones, oh nothing makes me smile more like causing a hundreds blade warrior to waste his burst on a clone only to blow it up in his face.

So phantasms are supposed to be like physical hexes, how about a phantasm that does nothing but has high retaliation to punish AOE damage.

IF you do damage to that phantasm damage THEN you get hurt ELSE you stay ok.

We’ve got feedback, which is a IF THEN ELSE mechanic, It’d be cooler that the feedback bubble was anchored to the target though.

we also have mirror, and reflect diversion, the retal for all phantasms trait, confusion (lol i love that condition) etc.

PS: There’s also mimic, i just learned recently that reflected projectiles after absorbing the first.

I miss so many skills..

Way back when before the mantra of persistence nerf: Mantra of Persistence + Crippling Anguish. Let a whammo with 8 attack skills on his bar chase you far away in RA, whack a 50 second slow on him, and run back to battle

Signet of midnight (good with plague touch). Stand next to your monk in RA and make 2 melee useless for the entire event. I had so many assassins rage quit doing this.

Diversion and Psychic instability.. (omg psychic instability)… is the anything better than watching a noob ele not use glyph sac and try to cast meteor storm? wait for it … wait for it … wait for it .. so close to finishing the spell… kd!

lol mantra of persistence was great!! But what’d you get the 50s slow from? Was that Imagined Burden? If so i thought that was just a worse version of Etheral Burden…

Ahh yea, it was Imagined Burden. You’d put 15 or 16 in inspiration to get the mantra nice and high. I think illusion only needed 9 or 10 points. They finally nerfed the hell out of it, but man, to see a warrior walking slowly trying to get back to the fight and everyone else is just running around … of course, the second he’d get back, burden would be recharged and you could whack him with it again..

good times..

I was interested to know the actual difference between them, so I went youtube the video. I found out that in GW2, mesmers got nerfed big time
How lucky there’s a video of skill description comparison:

I miss interrupting. It’s a lot harder to get the timing right on normal mob attacks and most champs/bosses are immune (some even without Defiant active). I get why it has to be like that, but it’s still a letdown

Arcane Languor for Exhaustion, then Aneurysm as often as possible (maybe even with Arcane Echo). Target won’t regain energy past exhaustion. =)

mantra of worry
while charging, it grants high retaliation to your illusions, clickable twice for 2 secs of blocking

feedback?
if you attack with ranged, you get hurt, else… nothing…
you just wait? thats not much of a punishment
itd be better if it added "if you do NOT attack while in the bubble, you gain 1 second of confusion for each second you were in the bubble, once you leave the bubble/it ends

id love that!

or if.. whats that power i never use, the boon stripper/condition stripper aoe… that one… if you cast a boon or cause a condition(as a foe) while inside, it puts it on you as well(or the casters target in the case of a boon)

OH! or an elite that causes 1 of 4 things to happen

a: 10 clones jump out of a portal next to your target and run around making attacking motions but doing no dmg
b: your target has clones spawn next to him, 1 per second for 5 seconds, and they all do an attack motion and then selfshatter for no effect
c: you party visually(not effectively) gains 5 min buffs for all boons(or “invulnerable” spams over your parties head)
d: you self moa

that power would never leave my bar, id crack up

i like hysterically messing with people, … i find people spam CDS when you catch them off guard, itd be handy

or a power that makes it so when someone uses a heal power, it knocks them down, or teleports them next to you, or causes 1 second of all conditions, or forces them to dance in a circle of butterflies, or… other fun funny stuff
