Guild Wars 2

Lots of unhappy posts in the last day. Here’s the thing that’s better for me since the patch – nobody in pvp is expecting me to play a specific build.

I like working on builds, experimenting and playing with them. When there was a clearly best bunker mesmer build, it was a bummer to deal with people who only wanted that build. Last night, I tried out my hybrid build and nobody complained. In fact, one other mesmer was also trying a hybrid build. In half a dozen pvp matches, I had fun and never felt like there was some other profession that was completely overwhelming me.

I’m still trying variants, but this one tends to produce a very even split between condi and direct damage as well as being quite survivable (the real build uses mercenary amulet but it’s not in the build editor).

The downside: Nobody expects you to bring Mesmer.
