why you want to kill your more unique class?
In pvp, bunker mesmer is dead. Good riddance: you can’t have a mobile bunker in a conquest game type.
On the other hand, what is left untouched: extremely high quickness uptime, F5 recharging some of the best elites in the game, and one of the best burst spec in a game which will soon see the removal of all tanky amulets.
With Portal, moa/GW, boon removal on shatters and GS bursts, mesmer could be back in the meta in a good old thief/mesmer roaming pain train. I’d say that’s a much better place that the boring CD spammer we’ve had this last month, don’t you think?
we are fine – that’s really not that big deal. i’d like to see some qol changes to phants in return tough – like being affected by scholar bonus (if we have it), force, accuracy, proccing air (shared CD with us) etc. more fairness for 100% of our dps, rather than just always boosting half of our dps :P

you need to look hard at the thief buffs, it’s going back to the days where mesmers are food / free kill to any thief, plus more classes. It’s even worst than before.

Are you speaking from a PvE perspective? Because I dont really care for that game mode.

Ye I am. It’s sad that they clutch to their plan to not split pvp from pve. It’s just not possible to balance both together in a good way. It’s just annoying that stuff like that happens all the time.

I am looking at thief buffs….
I think people forget that thieves used to eat mesmers alive before we got blind on shatter. They still were a problem but much more manageable.

With damage boost, Basilisk Venom as unblockable and sharable to near by team mates, good luck in PvP as a mesmer. Not to mention there’s no point in taking a mesmer to be competitive, Anet achieved exactly what it wanted, kill the bunker meta, bring back thief into meta, and trash the class they hate the most.
I feel like Rorschach at the end of Watchmen.

Bas venom has a long cast time. If you can’t see it coming, ohwell.
Also, it’s always been easy to land a venom burst, and the stun is the true power behind it. If classes want to sit behind their blocks and pretend they’re safe, they’ve got another thing coming.
Any good Chrono has other options at his disposal. That and, if you’re gonna want to block, check the thief doesnt have his venom applied. That and watch for the cast animation.
FYI, the true potency of unblockable basi comes from venomshare, when the whole team can get a free unblockable stun. That said, the thief has to build for it, which comes at a cost.
