Guild Wars 2

Yes MaXi I was taking the trait into that too. If you time it right and use dodge as mainly a clone spawner, you can keep them up easily. Lets be honest, how often does a mesmer have to dodge? Really just when bridging clone cd’s haha.

I agree it should be moved to 30 or made into a signet passive with a cool down. IE: Spawn a clone when dodging. ( Effect cannot occur more than once every 45 seconds. ). In general though, my personal problem with a mesmer isn’t the clones, it’s the constant stack of confusion. You can burn all your removals and they just keep laying them on thick. That’s when you just run circles around them and laugh because their dmg doesn’t do anything ( the confusion builds at least. ). Now if they are condition + confusion yea there is no running circles around ’em

Only read the first two or four replies, but thought I would give a quick hint on how to spot the " real " mesmer. I run ahead and do less of group fighting then I do solo. I used to have a problem with this too. If you pay attention to buffs ( yes I know clones can get fury and might and what not. ). But look for signet buffs and or prep buffs it’s the simplest way. Targeting the real mesmer and popping an aoe will kill off the clones and keep you on track. The thing is you have to watch that dang confusion… It’s more than annoying.

I personally think the mesmer isn’t too " OP ", I do however think the clone rate is " OP ". Meaning there should be a limit on how often a clone can be spawned. It’s not hard to keep three clones constantly up at all times during a fight.

Will a full stack of a condition be removed with Inscribed Removal and Smite Condition? Also do those two have some sort of priority order in what they remove? Or is it a random removal? Say you have 8 stacks of bleed, a poison and a chill. Would much rather have the bleeds off than the other two for sure.

My other question is: Is Purity on the same time with Signet of Resolve’s passive? Or do they alternate every five seconds?

Sorry about the double post, dunno what happened there.

Hey guys, I’m determined on making the hammer work for me in pvp. I was wondering if you guys could take a look at the build I’ve been using and give me some feedback.

I’m doing pretty good with it in sPvP. The one thing I’m having trouble with though is taking on more than one at a time. Especialy if I’m trying to get a kiter cornered, by the time they are stuck in a corner or against a wall one of their teamates comes and whoops me ( especialy those dang theifs lol ). Out in the open, it’s a bit diff because I try to " juggle " them with the control effects so after their dodges I’ll leap / port to them and try to manage my time on 3 and 5 skill. Still for some reason I’m having trouble with 2v1’s or multiple enemies I should say. Can any of you guys offer up some tips / advice? I’m loving the hammer, but feel a bit naked with it at the same time. Though I’m determined to stick with 2h hammer and make it work for me lol.

The idea was to keep burns, retaliatons and aegis up while managing control(s)
