Guild Wars 2

It was successfully addressed to a large extent. Loot farming in Orr DE’s.

Now as a mesmer you go to a lvl 55+ zone, tear through mobs, sell your full inventory of stuff every 20-30 minutes. No hassle finding the zerk after, even. The upside is you can farm and do your daily at the same time. Downside is that karma rewards are reduced to 75%. Upside is that you’ll solo most DE’s and get all the loot – until the kids figure out its a lot (!) easier than what they are doing now.

Yeah, there were nerfs. When your hiney stops hurting, reroll, or adapt.

Well, I understood nothing.

Yeah, I got nothing from that.

What was the take away?

I think you’ll find this is the top mesmer complaint.

It’s not just a reroll issue. To replace my gear to a carrion set for a CB build will cost me around 25G as my berserker gear will nerf the damage output of that build. I don’t have a spare 25g and are not going to spend the months farming like I did last time all because someone at ANET couldn’t bother testing the changes.

Ok.

The most oft repeated complaint mesmers have is our difficulty in getting loot in zerged DEs in Orr. That’s where the best loot dropped, so it’s understandable. With changes to loot drops, there’s no reason to farm those DEs for loot – you can get the same loot more easily in lower level zones.

There is no reason to farm Orr for gold, only for karma. I’m certain the new complaint will be “but everyone else can do both,” but its a massive improvement.

There is a video around here of a berserker staff & sword/pistol WvW shatter build.
