Guild Wars 2

If you are evaluating Mesmer against each of the following classes right now, who gets nerfed of the two? This is designed to get classes to consider where they rank in terms of viability and which classes just suck compared to them.

Guardian v:

1) Elementalist
2) Engineer
3) Guardian
4) Necromancer
5) Ranger
6) Thief
7) Warrior

Simple answers (put explanations underneath if you want). Which class gets the nerf between the two (Mesmer or each of the 7 others)?

Wat.

Bombsaway.7198:

1) Elementalist
2) Engineer
3) Guardian
4) Necromancer
5) Ranger
6) Thief
7) Warrior

1: Mesmer
2: Neither
3: neither
4: necro
5: neither
6: thief
7: warrior

I dont really udnerstand :/

If balancing against each class, who would get the nerf for each pairing to get the classes in balance.

In other words, Alissah would say that a thief and warrior need nerfed relative to a Mesmer but only the elementalist would need the Mesmer to be nerfed.

That means that a Mesmer is not to be considered far more powerful than say a ranger.

Make sense? Again, this is about the whole game vs one particular part. Feel free to explain after choosing which of the two if head to head would need a nerf.

Like whats the scenario we are testing? I mean in a straight up duel, elly vs a mesmer, ide say nerf the mesmer.

But in Zerg warefare, ide say nerf the elly, buff the mesmer.

not mentining scenario , not mentioning build, spamming this thread in every class forum… go away

I used a duel with proper duelling builds as scenario.

• Vs a sword dagger thief: make one mistake and you eat 3k auto attacks. Once a mistake is made, its very hard to recover and the thief will oeep punishing you, in the form of more auto attacls.
• Vs a warrior: same as with thief, except they cant properly chain pressure you and are more tanky.
• Vs a necro: get hit by signet of spite, and youre pretty much dead. You have to use insane skills + mobility if you dont want to get devoured in the conditions… While they just tank your damage :/.
