Guild Wars 2

Don’t worry mesmers, thieves were buffed to have an excuse to nerf them into the ground for the next year.

But for now…….

“GIT IN MAH BELLY!”

U WOT M9? This is the unofficial B&S forum.

i don’t know what and how you play, but if it is not a 2 v 1, the fight Chrono , Dare Devil is in favor of the chrono.

About mesmer vs thief? i don’t know. I don’t use mesmer anymore.

Clearly you haven’t been keeping up to date with recent changes.

Thanks. I’ve been thinking of giving it a try but with my archaic internet connection i wanted to have some opinions.

To what failbuilds arent a food? To me, Mes vs Thief experience looks like this: Thief chases me hungry wolf style, in vain, and slowly, painfully, dies to clones.

I think we all sort of forgot, pre 2015 patches, that it was normal for thieves to easily down non-bunker mesmers, because it was widely received that thief generally trumps mesmer.
after the recent patches and elite specs, mesmers got a taste of what it’s like to burst down the thief, to let the hunter become the hunted in a way?
now it’s reverted, and we’re left to post on forums about how it makes us sad inside

How is it reverted?

Because a thief gets a harder hitting AA’s?

Seriously the whining and complaining is out of control on these forums.

Chronobunker was the most broken build to ever grace GW2 PvP. Yes it was more broken than 4x Cele Ele.

Y’all just don’t get it do ya?

Chronobunker was dead already with rez quickness change. Alacrity change was made to totally kitten all chrono builds in every game mode cuz whole chrono spec line resolves around Alacrity, as well as all chrono util cooldowns.

Now, go back to thief forum section. Im sure they miss you there.

Arent you a bit naive for a mesmer? Im pretty shure they are more likely to await his report on a critical mission success of trolling dem stupid butterflies.

Rofl. It’s funny how you don’t realize it was only the res mechanics that were broken. The D/D cele ele meta was easily the most broken moment in pvp history. They introduced the reduced class stacking rule because of it XD

But whatever, be a drama kitten if it please you :D

Ross, stop bullying people with facts.

OT: Highest thief auto I’ve been hit with thus far is 4200.
Can anybody top that?

Also, does anyone else find themselves running mirror images? I end up feeling like I have to, just to even have a chance at killing a thief.

Yet games reached 500 points,and ended. I didn’t say it was the most OP but the most broken due to watching paint dry being more entertaining.

Thanks for your input though

but seriously, until now, since the patch, have you been thief food?

Seyiwaji.4082:

No

Seyiwaji.4082:

Yeah.
Against thieves as skilled as me, I lose.
Unquestionably.

I can take a couple of matches off of them, but that’s only if every utility I take is selfish.

Meaning, no portal.

Whats a mesmer without portal?
A weak thief.

Ofc, I’ve heard such great things about the mind-numbingly boring condi mesmer.

Then again, I haven’t seen one take down a highly skilled thief.

Right. You just seem to have failed to appropriately identify that it was the res mechanics that were broken. Mesmer just had the easiest setup of tools to take the best advantage of that. Without those broken res mechanics team fights would have ended, points would have been captured, and scores would have resolved much more quickly.

Thanks for your input though.

It’s the old impossible to land a shatter on an ever evading target problem XD

It’s vastly easier to counter burst a thief on my berserker warrior, or using my p/p carrion venomshare daredevil.

We all know the old uphill battle of Mes vs Thief XD. Best bet, be that selfish mes, take lockdown :D

lockdown…not clockdown?!?

That HoT hype train disappeared fast.

I told them to use the kittening CDI on that general post about the most recent patch.

Needless to say, that didn’t go over well and I had to redo it in a more “constructive manner”.

So I did it as condescendingly as possible, by telling them how to do their kittening jobs without the word kittening.
Ofc, it got 0 response.

Instead, ANet’s trying to have an “air of communication”, where they pretend like they’re actually communicating with the community. While realistically only answering questions they like, and that aren’t “hardball”.

It was.
After the well of precog nerf, and the block nerf, Chrono Bunker wasn’t as strong as you’d like to try and make it out to be.

Necros killed it.
And don’t even get me started on the ridic boon corrupt necros have no vs old Chrono Bunker…

The catch was, and this has been pointed out a plethora of times on these forums, that Chrono Bunker was really good about coming into a team fight and ressing everyone with time warp (& the quickness well)/stomping downs.

The alacrity made what was already OP, into something even more OP.
Time warp, a normally 180 second cooldown, was a 90 second cooldown, reduced to lets say 78 seconds.

Meaning Chrono Bunker was pretty much always ready to come in and swing a team fight into its teams favor.

Combine this with everyone running bunker comps with no damage outside of Mallyx Rev, and you have the makings of a pretty boring meta.

About as boring as 8 Cele Eles slamming into each other, spamming their little kittening hearts out.

Outside of that OP support role? Tempest was better individually, at holding a point.

I say this, because tempest dealt with condi pressure better, imo, than Chrono bunker. And since no one was really running power except for Scrapper… Yeah.
