Guild Wars 2

Small suggestion, but if the spatial surge skill could be changed:

Instead of a beam of energy, it could be an auto-chain attack where you slash your greatsword left and right and a wave of energy flies toward your target each attack , ending with an overhead attack that deals more damage. Like how the skill currently is, the waves of energy can hit up to 3 targets in a line or pierces until it hits your main target.

If you have played dark souls, my concept comes from the moonlight greatsword where its special attack shoots out a bright magical wave in a straight line.

What do you guys think?

I love the moonlight great sword but the laser beam is too cool to get rid of. Just remove the range thing and increase aa dmg and gs should be fine.

I actually like this idea alot better. The laser beam thing as you call it feels like a very lackluster way to use a greatsword. Swinging the sword to create energy waves would be more gratifying (to me at least) than holding the sword suspended by purple lightning as you channel energy through it like some sort of focusing crystal.

I support this 100%!
Current spatial surge is so monotone.

Ranged cleave to the ranged aoe weapon!? OUTRAGEOUS!

Actually this is pretty great idea, maximum edge!

I love when people put effort in suggesting things that will never happen! Keep up the good work.

Personally, I like the current working, although I wouldn’t complain if the damage dropoff at close range was removed.

That said, what I would like to see as a QoL change? Make it so that you didn’t have to target the most distant enemy to have the best effect. Use the technology from Puncture Shot to allow Spatial Surge to recognise if there’s a target behind the primary target and punch through if it hasn’t already hit the maximum number of targets.

Just add Superior Sigil of Fire to your great sword and you get AOE on both surge and on the #2 bouncing attack. It’s more effective than your suggestion.

Personally, I love the laser attack. It’s what made me want to main a mesmer in the first place. I do feel that the weapon should cause more damage though so I suggest that they remove the piercing effect as that’s next to impossible to optimize and have it shoot up to 2 more lasers at enemies that are close to the target. That way it would have the same effect as piercing but be far more reliable.

Oh, and Mind Stab should be a blast finisher, because it would be nice for mesmers to have one on demand.
