Guild Wars 2

Hi,

With action camera coming in HOT, I want to use a 360 controller to play. I’ve seen lots of posts about xpadder, GlovePIE, and MotionInJoy.

Has Anet outright said that we won’t be banned for using them?

Thanks

It’s a design problem. GW1 did this by having skills that are pvp/pve specific. They’ve done it before so why stop now?

To make an entire tree not viable in one game mode is just silly. I don’t know about other professions – is that comparable or just us mesmers?

You are delusional if you think that out of all of our weapon options, having

S/S
S/F
S/P

is considered diversity. 3 out of your 5 skills are always the same and there is no play style but melee. I see that you avoided Chaos in all of your builds. Anet obviously designed it just for looks.

I accept that this is the current meta (and btw what are meta if not to be constantly challenged?) but you should also be aware that there are such things as several viable metas and each are very competitve.

For the casual community, all weapons are viable. The l33t sword users need to get off their high horses and appreciate the serious flaws we mesmers have today. Suggesting sword as the only way is like suggesting Bolt as the only weapon because, why settle for anything less?

Care to elaborate?

Is there a debate that single target melee dps mesmer is a contender?

The problem I have with all these discussions is the result is always the same in PvE: melee with Sword because that gives the best mesmer dps.

Where is the build diversity? This precludes all other mesmer weapon sets that are ranged. The sad thing? We still can’t compete with top melee 100b etc. If you want to melee, go with those classes.

Anet needs to fix the range options because the risk/reward basically kills build diversity. The only unique thing mesmers bring is reflect, and if you spec & time right, that’s where your major damage comes from.

So as mentioned above, what’s viable? Staying alive with reflect and some form of dps. If anyone who insists on strictly mesmer melee is playing the wrong class because if you are a pro dodger, play a glassy top dps – which a mesmer is not.

Thank you for all your advice!
I’m encouraged to have so much support from the community.
Unfortunately I have tried probably close to 100 times and still no luck.
On the other hand, I leveled a warrior from all those boss blitz and beat Liadri with it…
Doesn’t feel as big of an achievement. But, mesmer will stay my main so I’ll go back to Liadri after taking a short break.

I’m gonna finish up the achievement with my mesmer for now. Feedback works on the gunner for 3 gambits?

Hi fellow mesmers…

I’ve in need of some help on Liadri. Here’s what I have so far from hours of trying & youtubing…

I can quite easily get her to Phase 2, and that’s when things fall apart.

Phase 1 – No issues, except the amount of damage Liadri does to me. I have to heal once.

Phase 2 – She immediately leaps or whips me, and I have trouble keeping her away from me. Tried Mantra to relieve cripple, but I find that she’s right behind me in no time… feel like this won’t solve my problem. I find myself having to give lots of room to the VoM (and death even though they are sometimes quite far away). The AoE is easy to step out, but I am having trouble managing AoE, VoM, and trying to dodge Liadri herself…

Gear: Mostly zerker, but I am open to suggestions.

Builds I’ve tried to far:

S/F, S/S kinda Dulfy’s method – run around with phantasms… I find that I die before my illusions can kill her…

S/F, GS – GS for Phase 2. Same problem, I don’t do enough, and she usually cripples me while in AOE and I end up dying to AOE or VoM because I am slower while shooting her.

Will toughness/vitality gear help? Open to suggestions… please help!

Hi,

A newbie question – does the armor traders only give Soldier PVT sets? I’ve travelled to each of the WvW locations and that is the only one I found in “town”.

Tried searching and couldn’t find anything. The wiki said there are a few options… is it further out of the main area?

Please help. Thx

I came back from a long break.

The vid… did I see six illusions at once? How is that possible?

are you in one of them right now?

Or just don’t do them – what’s the benefit of this backlash for Anet?

Same here, bump this thread!!

Hi,

I wanted an official response on whether there’s any issue from Anet if I used Pinnacle/Xpadder to control my character in game.

Will I be banned for using software such as this?

I would like to use this because my arms/wrists hurt from my current seat posture.
Please let me know.

Thanks
