Guild Wars 2

HAHA This is so true.

Really wish they had a couple writers that really knew how tell a GOOD story. The current living story is the most pathetic attempt at story telling I have ever seen.

Please stop with all the mini games. Please let me keep my abilities (Or at least expand on them) and give us new content that is not fan service to other genre’s (Quake, Hunger games). So far this patch I have enjoyed the Candidates Trials but that’s about it. I might log in and run a few more trials but really there is only so much you can run a single event. I will be kitten ed if I will be collecting 2500 points in hunger games.

Personally some of the crowning achievements I feel you have added to this game were

-Fractals (Endless dungeons with cool events and nice rewards, Thank you sign me up)
-The molten alliance Story instances(Awesome but very short, but it told a story so I really enjoyed them).
-The molten alliance dungeon was awesome.
-I really enjoyed searching for the kites. Scavenger hunts are pretty neat(Would be cool if you added new bosses in the open world to protect some of the kites).

I really hope as you go forward you lay off the mini games slightly (Ok a LOT) and start adding more events and story. I really enjoy this game as a Mesmer and I really like playing this game with the skills you have provided.

Actually I really like the traits that Nretep put up. I might give those a run tonight since it will probably be a huge damage increase with my play style.

Hecate really believes in harmonious mantra’s but with quicker heals and the mantra cooldown trait, it’s just not needed. Also you lose out on so much damage. Give the build Nreptep posted, I really don’t think you will be sorry.

I would recommend running pure berserker from a cost perspective. The reason why is if you need to be tankier just make your clones tankier. Put on Signet of life and add defender and you are golden.

This is intended and has functioned this way since release. Pyroatheist is correct he is spamming Mantra of pain fast so he can get the heals.

I run this build and absolutely love it. One thing that helps with this build is if you remove Harmonious Mantra’s(I ran with it for a while and realized I was stunting the true ability of restorative mantra’s). That way you burn through Mantra of pain faster and can start casting it again. I would replace it with empowered illusions. With that trait and II and VII In the Dueling Tree (Phantasmal Fury and Mantra Master) Your illusions hit REALLY hard and with reduced cooldown Mantra of Recovery weaves amazingly well with Mantra of Pain. I survive everything, keep everyone up, and do amazing damage.
