I haven’t seen the vid yet, but let me just say I’m elated one of “the originals” is back!
Definitely one I learned a lot from in my early days as a mesmer. Welcome!!!
Now, if we can just get osi and seven to do the same …
Nice vid man, enjoyed it a lot. The music was really catchy haha, and I liked how the ele’s churning earth fell on the gun-shot in the song (whether that was intentional or not xD)
Keep up the good work
Did you beat Curie in a duel, yet?
Nice video, as always, welcome back.

Osi has been logging in a few times over the past few weeks but not for very long. He has uploaded a new video I believe.

Yeah, saw his vid which was great, but he’s not really “back”
Thanks for the warm welcome guys
@WitchKing – unfortunately, that wasn’t intentional… didn’t want to emphasize the fact that I didn’t dodge / avoid it :p (it was pretty cool though!)
@Imagi – no……… but that was day 1! I have an excuse
WB Flimp! Glad to see you’ve come back, looking forward to your vids. What server are you calling home now?
I’m on SOR at the moment
FYI – Mesmer’s taking a rest atm buttttttttt I’ve made an Engi pvp video for those that are interested
I was about to say welcome back, but your mesmer is on holiday… :p
sorry <3 being able to AOE is too much fun~
Hi All,
I’ve been playing my mesmer quite extensively lately but only in Ranked PvP and was wondering if people were interested in Ranked PvP videos?
Most mesmer videos I see are WvW so not sure if there are any interests for this. I might make one just to see what the response is but if there is anything in particular you’d like to see, please let me know
Cheers,
FLIMP

I think the difficulty with PvP videos is that they’re really difficult to make interesting at all. A PvP video gets sorta meaningless as a montage, since the very point of PvP is playing the game mode and winning, but actually watching a full PvP match is just boring in most cases.
You can certainly go ahead and try, but just be aware that there’s significant inherent difficulty in making a watchable ranked PvP video.

YES YES YES! You can add some editing here and there to spice things up.

I agree 100%! A PvP montage would showcase the combat aspect where as showing a full match would showcase the map awareness/rotation aspect. It’s gonna be a tricky one… unless I add in commentary but it would have to be a VERY interesting game for it to be worth watching.
Thanks for your input Fay

Yes yes yes! okay. I’ll learn a few editing tricks for you :p
If you want some good PvP montage ideas, check out countless and supcutie. They both do a very good job of creating something interesting from their matches/encounters. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
There’s some good tricks to make full match vids watchable. Just dont let the footage idle on anything other than action, for one.
I also like making vignettes as opposed to montages. Smaller bite sized clips that’re fun watches, and I especially like spicing them up with fun music etc

kitten , wb! :o
I’d watch anything backed by cool music.
Thanks skcamcow / Ross – I’ll keep that in mind.
@Curunen – cool music… that’s very subjective :p haha

Second this, into the mists doesn’t work anymore.
It’s just your standard condie build with sc/sh + staff. He’s running insp/ill/chrono, probably a mix of rabid and dire based on the crit rate.

Goodness, such hostility for being literally exactly correct? It’s not like it’s rocket science to figure out a build from a video. It took me about 30 seconds of clicking to random parts in the video to figure out exactly what the build was, and anyone with actual knowledge about the class should be able to do that.

Hm I could be mistaken but I think I just saw a ghost.
EDIT: Yep, I did.
And Flimpy, great to see new content from you but can’t deny the cringe feels from your competition … then again it’s always a bit of fun seeing noobs getting stomped, well done.

And that is absolutely why WvW is fun and you can get some “good” footage! Any one who plays the game enough knows it’s not possible to 1 v X against good players unless they’re running zerg/bad builds.
I do have a few 1v1’s with some decent players but I think they’re boring to watch unless people want to learn?
Fun = 1 v X
Tutorial = 1 v 1?
Edit: oh and thanks
Yeah I think it’s good to showcase one or two good 1v1’s, my opinion anyway. Decent players can tell when the competition is noob and thus 1vX is much easier xD.
Not to diminish what you did there, any 1vX (even vs noob) can be hectic.
I’ll dedicate my next video to you
aren’t you sacrificing a lot of survivability by not taking Chaos?
Can you explain why you pick those trait lines over a normal PU build?
I’m looking for a mesmer roaming build but I’m very lost on it
Hey
Not really… PU is great if you use a lot of stealth but I’ve dropped torch/veil and picked up shield and signet of illusion instead.
Shield IMO gives you more survivability and utility.
Echo of Memory/Deja Vu:
- gives you 2 blocks
- gives 2 phantasms
- an additional phantasm from mental defense
- using the chronophantasms trait, that’s 3 more phantasms (total of 6)
- combined with persisting memory that’s s 12s CD reduction on the block
- combined with the alacrity from chrono traitline, it’s pretty much on cool down again for you to do another double block.
- then you get the condi clears and heals from the 6 shatters, not to mention the additional random clones you get from illusionary reversion if you dont have 3 phantasms up.
Obviously this is the ideal setup and it’s not going to always happen but that’s the theory behind it.
Then you got Tides of Time:
- on demand aoe stun
- high chance of interrupt (2x stun) proccing perplexity runes
- on demand quickness for important skills (heal/moa/mass invis)
- blocks projectiles
So weighing it up, I don’t think I’m really sacrificing much. I think I come out on top ;p
Thanks Flimp – I’ll give it another shot!
It’s just I have like no experience with Mesmers at all so I have no clue what I’m doing.
I’m willing to learn though and I know I’ll get there someday!
