[Video] GW2 Mesmer Dueling: "Let's Go!"
You just keep getting better every week! Your duels against SD thieves really helped me, thank you.
Absolutely fantastic, beautiful video.
Two thumbs up – I was applauding and smiling at so many moves in that video, well played.
Please, keep them coming – quality entertainment.
This is a great video. You take on thieves with a TON of patience. Watching videos like this show how (aside from skill) IP offers really great utility over lockdown builds — for now.
Come HoT, when shatter/lockdown is together, I bet you’ll pull off some really cool moves.
Looking forward to the next vid!
You are wasting some cooldowns. I understand you to some extent because I got that habit back again recently and fixed it now. Some of those fights could of been over a lot quicker. Try thinking more about interrupting heals and elites.
For example in the 1v1 vs the dp thief (first one that was shown) you could of interrupted his heartseeker which would of probably killed him. It ended up taking 15 more seconds so not a big deal, but sometimes it could make the difference between win and loose. When he swapped to sd and you did the duel where you got an immob on him while he was in shadow refuge, you coulda swapped GS and noscoped him. Also against thieves a really good thing to do are short bursts (meaning dodge bursts wich you already to) but also mind stab at your feet and mind wrack. Its gonna do good damage!
Generally AA more, other than that, a big improvement from the one video I saw of you which I believe was your first video.

Good advice. Not that anyone can play perfect or always make the decisions but you can always improve.
You waste cooldowns and dodges way too much. An insta-decoy vs a better thief would’ve gotten you slaughtered. Your timing is good and all but I’d like to see how you stand up to thieves that actually know how to use their shortbow… those thieves in the video didn’t swap at all. Decent video though.. 7/10.
I’m not coming back, not that you care.

Thanks for the constructive feedback! I never thought of mind stab and wrack at my feet, but I will have to try that. I also like the idea of noscoping haha.

Thanks for watching but would you mind elaborating on some of your comments. The point of feedback is to be constructive so I would love it if you could give me some examples on how to improve such as: When is it appropriate to use decoy and where do I waste my cooldowns/how can I better manage them in your opinion?
I noticed in your fights against s/d thieves you generally use mirror blade while the thief is not in melee range. Is this intentional? – are you doing this because you anticipate them to shadowstep to you (appears that shadowstepping doesn’t disjoint the projectile,) or are those just lucky moments?
This video was kittening awesome, well done!
Nice vid, but forgive my ignorance, how do i see your build? couldnt find the youtube banner or about tab.
I don’t really know mesmer all that well, but what you did to that thief was just mean.
Well at the fist duell against the thief it wanst realy fair you can say beause you got help from the ranger of sm. Havn’t watched the previous videos of you so i cant say how you improoved.
I dono how many duell experience you got fighting ageinst thiefs and I don’t say they are bad but i’d say they are not the best because they didnt waited your francy out, or let himself push out the refugi. Did you expected the dmg or did you put a random frenzy?
Vs thief you have the right possitioning and good handeling to shatter in the right time.
What i also saw that you fight in range vs the staff player which is a good choice that there is no bounceback to the owner = less dangourus
You won the fight against burst ele but there was one hit agains zo left i guess. stealth is your friend here use it and let the illusions do the work und till the very last end. because they are single target burster. if the have to start to think about zour illusins and waist the cds on them you win easyer.
