Guild Wars 2

To answer your question, the Mesmer is generally considered a very strong class in pretty much all settings except for farming events. If you are having problems in Dungeons, I suggest searching around this very forum for information on how to improve.

Also, there are many other topics on this forum answering your question. You should really use the search function.

And, for zeitgeist purposes, a tldr:
It’s just you. L2p.

The latest I have been able to find is that the fix they have for it does not extend beyond Spvp.

Did I miss an update somewhere, or have they still not said anything about WvW?

I was being sarcastic. I am well aware that retaliation does not hit for 4.5k per tick. Thank you.

Easy. Your ae hits 5 people, and they each have retaliation on them that hits you for 4.5k. There goes your 20k+ health pool. In one hit.

There are sensible rebuttals of every single one of your points. And yet I wonder if it would be worth it. You’ve obviously put some thought into this, which tells me that you willfully ignore the ‘solutions’ to all the problems you bring up. So. Either you are trolling, or you’ve made up your mind already. Am I wrong?

Top NA servers would win by miles. Not because I think the NA server players are better, but we have a much better round-the-clock presence. It wouldn’t be a contest, simply because of the population diversity.
