Guild Wars 2

it doesnt look like chronos are very good at all at the moment. most of them i fight in wvw or pvp dont last long in a fight. sometimes i spectate and see most losing a 1 v 1. i got on mine and ran the burst shatter and condi chrono and have had trouble fighting in 1 v 1 as well especially against thieves. is the chrono in a bad state at the moment or do i normally run into bad chronos?

If Chrono is bad I don’t even want to think of base Mesmer

Also Chrono’s being bad is because Chrono’s are one trick ponies for raids, PvP, and whatnot they even nerfed our one trick and people still use us because were the only one who can do the trick.

The issue with being a one trick pony class is that we can do anything outside of the trick and it’s because of the one trick. To balance the Mesmer into a proper state would be to give it’s tricks to other classes such as Alacrity, Feedback, Portal, Distortion Spam, and so forth to other classes so we can be balanced around actual play and not doing a single task for the moment. We are the dancing monkey of the classes we only get a group slot to preform tricks and out on a show.

Also we are much more invested into our F skills than any other class making balancing even more tricky.

i would say that chrono is a strange class. It is all about exploiting the game.

There are many one trick ponies until they add additional elites, which may solve the diversity problem or add to it, but until then Chrono Mes, PS War, Viper Necros will just have to endure.
