Guild Wars 2

20k base health, highest armor rating, insane mobility and immunity to conditions isn’t enough to bring this class back into the meta. Please, buff warriors more.

I guess you will just have to get used to it. For those lucky sPvP they can just reroll easily but for those who have invest hundred of hours on their class into WvW( Rangers and Mesmers, might or might not be me), you will just have to bite the pain and hope Anet will fix it soon

Careful Anet doesn’t know what sarcasm is.

Stopped reading there. You should probably get better if you think mesmers are underpowered in WvW.

That might have been true once, but apart from condimesmers roaming, we ARE pretty much underpowered right now.

The mesmer class ability gets hardcountered by AoE which is…well, everywhere in WvW. We also get countered by conditions which are the current meta and keep getting buffed.

We are slow as hell unless we are using traveler runes, other speed runes or a focus.

Our direct damage, apart from F1, is really low compared to other classes. At 3.2k attack and 90% critdmg my sword autoattack crits for about 1.2-1.3k. Compared to warrior gs (2k+) and hammer (4k+) that’s REALLY low considering how dangerous it’s for us to go into melee compared to a heavy armor class.

I’m sorry, but no.

You have huge utility (mass invis and veil are essential to any small roaming group, portal for zergs, chaos aura fields, one of the best/the best aura in the game etc) and tons of damage if traited/built appropriately, as well as absurd survivability. Bunker condi mesmers are still the #1 1v1 class in the game and have become even stronger with recent changes to armor/runes etc.

Not to mention they are horrible to try and stomp thus further reducing the desire to hard focus them at the start of WvW fights.

You have survivability just based on the fact that you have so many tools available that makes you a much harder target to focus than say, a necro.

mass invis and veil, portal for zergs

- 90s cd each.

chaos aura

- got nerfed hard and needs either staff (again, condi, or low damage unless the opponent lets himself get hit by the warlock) or Null Field which leaves no free utility slot, so…no stunbreaks, which means you are dead in the current warrior meta.

tons of damage

- please…this coming from a warrior sounds like a joke considering that i need preparation and near perfect execution to get a Sword 3 -> 2 + shatter combo off (which is very easy to avoid) just to do the damage a warrior does with his earthshaker + 1-2 autoattacks.

Bunker condi mesmers

- please read my posts. Condi mesmers are good, maybe even too good at the moment, but power mesmers are certainly not.

Not to mention they are horrible to try and stomp thus further reducing the desire to hard focus them at the start of WvW fights.

- Actually this isn’t true. In 1vX, unless there is a ranger or maybe necro, i always target mesmers and thieves first. We have no stability (please…don’t mention the useless mantra), at most 1 condicleanse and are squishy as hell if we want to do any damage (again, i’m talking about power builds). Also, even with traveler runes, we got basically no swiftness so there is no way we will ever be able to run from or after a warrior unless we have portal ready.

You have survivability just based on the fact that you have so many tools available that makes you a much harder target to focus than say, a necro.

- I won’t argue with you about necros being easy to focus but they are still hard to take down considering their high hp, deathshroud, chill and fear. Mesmers defense is purely active compared to, say, a guardian or warrior which don’t have to basically avoid every single skill against a zerker warrior or die horribly.

This is sort of like saying I enjoy playing A/A + LB zerker warrior and then complaining when another class like (insert any class here) can easily beat this build.

Also, 3 stunbreaks + teleports. If you’re dying mostly against warrior, then build against it. Refusal to adapt is not other people’s issue.
