Guild Wars 2

Right I’m fast becoming bored of this class. I have tried so many combinations and poured so much gold into different runes but I still end up fairly useless, especially in a 1 v 1 situation.

I just came across a Mesmer in WvW that was able to double itself (not sure what that skills called) in seconds of me killing it’s doubles which took me seconds too as I’m mostly a zerk fitting. He actually killed 5 of us while staying at 50% health. I have no idea how someone can make what’s clearly an I win setup?? I altered my setup to all out attack, knock, stun, bolas, nothing would work he was impervious to everything. I have no idea what I’ve seen but since playing GW from day 1, that’s the strongest character I’ve seen. He was taking the absolutely wee out of us

I felt I was swinging my GS and doing absolutely nothing, this weapon frustrates me too how can I keep a stream of damage? I have to hit with 100 blades and to do that I need to hold him, still he breaks free and de stuns himself. Hammer did nothing as well. How can I possible even hurt him in that situation let alone kill him.

I’m totally unsure what setup to go for now. I feel like everything there’s an update I have to spend lots of gold re defining my whole style of play. Especially when my assed is kicked to badly.

Should I use different weapons? I expect I can beat everyone but seriously I have to be able to compete and I was a laughable opponent to this guy. I got tons of gold, legendary fitted but wealth in this game isn’t power like a lot of MMOs. As for Twlight…I feelt like it’s a total waste of gold. I’m not one to rage quit but this is winding me up. Anyone have a good setup?

When you run into clone mesmers you gotta kite them or simply flee, killing their clones or letting them detonate on you does massive damage to you. It is a very common mesmer build as it is a “I win” build nothing much you can do other than the lure them away from clones and catch them off guard as most of the damage they do depends on your actions.

The trick to killing a mesmer is running away fast from them
lol JKJKJK
Actually if you want to scare them, make them realize you know which mesmer is real VS the clones by looking for the only one that Dodges & has boons on it, which gives you a big upper hand & you shouldn’t have much of a problem with mesmers after this.

As a warrior in WvW I have mainly Zerk gear with some Knights but I run into condition mesmers & necros all the time & if you know warrior then you know their condition removals are….lame
So I usually run with Axe/Warhorn (warhorn removes conditions & reverts certain ones to boons) and recharges very fast. 2ndary is GS or sometimes mace or sword with a shield in offhand (depends on which you like best)
Runes are x 4 scholar & x 2 divinity all superior
I also use healing surge which also removes conditions from you other than healing you greatly.

Utilities are Dolyak signet, Endure pain & Balanced stance with SoR for extra Oomph as your elite

this is how i remove conditions. I put 20 points in defense and choose IX trait, so every bar of adrenaline allows me to remove one condition. For clone/condi mesmers, it’s good to go straight to them and damage them down. Forget their clones but watch out their phantasms. If you get too many conditions, signet of stamina is always a good friend in that situation.
