Speaking about that, I’m not this good to try, nor I play tpvp with a team; but in a condi meta like the one we are living now, a more “bunker” played mesmer does not sound that bad.
I mean like a 0/20/0/30/20 played only for survivability:
vigorous revelation and shattered conditions for Aoe PermaVigor and tons of Aoe Condi-cleanse
staff for mobility and chaos armor
maybe glamour mastery and null field to even more condi and buff cleanse and more chaos armor
and retal on shatter#2.
Did someone ever tried something like that in team play?
Move Shattered Conditions to being either a master or even an adept trait, and maybe move it to illusions.
/fixed
omg dude, no….just no!
I know you might be frustrated about the situation, but this is too much.
Think about the famous 20/20/0/0/30. Yep, the one that can be countered well only by conditions.
With your idea you have:
damage/conf/daze + boon removal + cond removal (Aoe) + confusion + might
Or just think about a 10/20/0/20/20 with sc in the master trait.
With this you have:
damage/conf/daze + permaVigor (Aoe) + Cond removal (Aoe) + confusion + might
or
0/20/0/30/20:
damage (less)/conf/daze + permaVigor (Aoe) + Cond removal (Aoe) + Aoe Heal + confusion + might.
The QQ threads will make the nerf hammer hit us so hard that all our skills will change to “suicide yourself”
I tell you, shattered condition is this powerful that is good where it is. So you are force to either time your shatter well (cause they don’t do a lot of damage) or run a phantasm/hybrid build: with only deceptive evasion + mirror image + the 2 clone generating skills you can cleanse 6 (six) conditions (plus damage/conf/daze/inv) in less than two seconds w/o even summoning your phantasms (with the love of all the necros that spam everything they’ve got at the beginning of the fight).
Because there’s no point if you run a true phantasm build and not a hybrid of both. Since IC nerf there even less point to shatter on a phantasm build.
Well, it is clear that to avoid shattering the phantasms, it is needed some clone generation skill/trait like deceptive evasion and mirror image.
After that, the point is only how good is your knowledge of the class you are playing against, to time the phantasms well.
For instance if you know that a class is more likely to hit you with tons of conditions at the beginning of the fight, then you can start spatial surge and mirror blade to give some pressure and generate some clone (gs helps a lot to increase the damage and the Iberserker is fantastic), wait for the condition burst, shatter, mirror image, shatter and at this point start summoning the phantasm.
Actually, running a phantasm build with cleanse on shatter, I’m doing fine.
The problem is that most of the ppl think that if you use phantasms, you are not supposed to shatter…
I personally use this both for PvE and WvW (tested also in PvP and its not bad at all)

I found pretty amazing the amount of survivability given by “Shattered Conditions” and “Vigorous Reveation” while still doing lot of damage with bleeding/burning/confusion
I would like to see a 4 teams champ:ionship:
first map
A vs B
C vs D
second map
A vs C
B vs D
third map
A vs D
B vs C
the team who score the highest numbers of victories win.
Meanwhile smart players realize that they can take these stacks of might to do same burst they used to do before patch, while buffing the abilities they lack most.
(you know…same cannon, less glassy)
I think the rewards are fine, but it’s may be good to also add an invitation for the teams that win a free, to join a paid. example: my team win a free, then other that the chest and the ticket, we earn a free invitation to join a paid that can be used only in that time
for all the ones asking for a bf nerf:
go play a mesmer melee in a team fight with someone targeting you w/o using bf…and see how many sec you stay alive…then come again and ask for a nerf if you dare to
I would love to see this function too. Too bad all mods are forbidden by A-net (quote from the end of the link you posted).
+1 on this! I would love that too
Hi there,
I would like to know if in a near future, there will be a way to gain equip usable in WvW (not PvE) , by doing sPvP.
