Which “in itself” is a good news. The chrono line should not be straight out necessary. We are reaching the balance we were hoping.

The bad news is that the other professions did not have the same balance and now we are left the only non-OP profession in the game.

fixed.

-istance\fotm\raid: we have been nerfed without gaining a single other viable build, so we have to play exactly the same build as before that has been nerfed.

-pvp: we lost our pvp viable build without gaining another viable build.

-wvw: we lost resistance share build and we have been nerfed on our others viable build without gaining any other viable build.

While i could agree chronobunker should have been nerfed this patch didnt add a single viable alternative on every content of the game (pvp, pve and wvw).

This patch rougly nerfed mesmer without adding a single viable alternative.

This is not balance.

This is a garbage.

Speak for yourself pls, that “we” offended me as a person.

In PvE, the nerf just brought alacrity to a decent level. Now mesmer is a good but not godly addition to a party.

In PvP, as I mentioned, the problem is that the other elite specs were not brought in line. So yes, we are underwhelming now.

In WvW, the resistance nerf was stupid. My comments about the nerf “bringing us in line” was mostly alacrity.

I am sorry but I think anyone would agree that we want build diversity. Therefore, not being forced to play chronomancer to be competitive is a good thing. I we have 2 viable builds: power shatter dom-duel-ill and bunker chrono chaos-insp-chrono then that means that somehow every trait line we have is viable. I can’t see why we should not be happy with that and call that “balance”.

The lack of balance is that every other elite specs is still stronger than their core spec and thus to the whole mesmer class. By being the only “balanced” class (with maybe tempest), we end up being unviable.
