The power of mesmer is tied heavily into its traits and utilities. Things like Illusionary Persona and Sharper Images are absurdly powerful, even compared to traits used by other professions. In short, our power is located more in things unlocked farther up the line than the weapon skills you’ll unlock by level 2-3.

kite enemies into bugged npcs. We managed to get a champ giant into their lot and it reset them. If all of the npcs die, the event autofails.

Downed-State is here to stay

I think a simple approach to the downed state in WvWvW is to put more stringency on repeated downing. In normal circumstances, you can go down three times before being permanently ended, and you’re easier to kill for good every time. Why not make it so you skip the unpenalized first down? Makes it easier to pick people off, while still leaving plenty of time for an aware team to save you. At any rate I agree that in its current form it’s very difficult to finish off a player for good.
