Guild Wars 2

will this patch determine whether you continue to play mez or not?

Dont know what to expect… But will continue no matter what.

The way I see it I have two options, regardless of the patch notes. I can either play mesmer or not play mesmer. I see no reason to not play mesmer when I could play mesmer, since mesmers are just too damn sexy and manly to not play. Except the female mesmers. They are sexy and womanly.

I’ll play mez even if they make it so you are only armed with a spork, can summon 1 illusion at a time, and they make all damage illusory (so it dissapears after 10 seconds)

My (fairly safe) predictions are:

- Bug fixes, especially to zerker
- Twice as many new bugs (Mesmer bug fixes are like whackamole)
- Nerf shatter, portal (Since thats what the PvP forums are whining about)
- Moar speed buffs (All the other classes are getting it)

Funny you should ask because yes this patch will entirely decide exactly that!

Mesmer nerfs and warrior buffs.

Hudry.3489:

Mesmer nerfs and warrior buffs.

Don’t forget the thieves. They’ll get a new extra stealth with the new swiftness bonus.

I don’t expect to see these things but I wish they would come someday.

• Illusionary elasticity fixed to work with staff clones, phantasmal disenchanter, phantasmal mage and any other illusions with a bouncing attack. (currently only works for trident clones)

• Scepter auto attack given some form of condition damage.

• Fixed the bug causing illusory duelist to have a 100% combo finisher.

*Fixed the bug causing signet of illusions to grant a 200% bonus.

I just want to see condition mesmers become more viable and have the most damaging bugs be fixed.

Fixes to phantasms. I’m starting to miss Tyria, but I couldn’t play anymore after 12/3 debacle.

I like my pink glass buddies.

I’ll probably continue to play mesmer unless they (again) break more than they fix and the breaks truly make the class unplayable. I seriously doubt that will happen, but considering how they’ve approached testing for previous patches with even tiny balance changes, it’s a distinct possibility.

the only thing that will make me quit mez is if they nerf deceptive evasion. cannot play mesmer without this thing.

They have to delete the class before i quit my mesmer. Love the class, everything else i’ve tried looks dull and boring

Nerf to shatter….
I don’t want it to be honest but it will come.

Cause everyone loves to cry people don’t understand mesmers have i total of 3 offensive skills open. That right guys 3 damaging skills with front loaded damage.

I feel they should hurt because you have so few but they don’t feel the same.

I’m expecting to dual wield pistols on my mesmer tonight

More like when will you be expecting it… likely saturday

The only thing I was expecting from this patch was for it to be on the 14th generally sometime in the morning while I’m away at work.

As far as changes regarding mesmer:

A reliable source of swiftness – because JP said this was coming
A reduction in the attack delay of phantasms – also because JP said it was coming.

Here’s a list of what I am not expecting:

A new useable weapon and skills
A passive speed buff
Mantra’s becoming useful
Fixes to current traits
Fixes to iZerker damage
More viable pvp builds (this in particular – mesmers only have 1 so-so counter to 100b war and BS thief cheese builds)
Stability added to allow for bunker specs
Illusions to have a health pool higher than 500

A few bug fixes, some stuff players have blown out of proportion they think is going to be awesome, skill balancing (either pos or neg) and a couple of new bugs.
