Guild Wars 2

I got Imryldyeen from Teq. chest

Esplen.3940:

You play an alt and don’t roll in combat because you don’t want to spawn a clone to hit that unaggroed Firefly next to you.

I never dodge roll on my warrior of all things because there are unaggro’d mobs around me
And i notice that my two alts are also fully colored in shades of purple

Please make it so retaliation doesn’t hurt me from the moron’s shooting into my defense mechanic

I love these threads because i dont use runes of centaur or air and i’m still faster than everyone just by using focus 4, blink and using other players area buffs.

The only thing i can say mesmers are not good at, from my personal experience is fighting a zerg of 10+ solo. NOT good at that at all.

Lol your complaining about running in and dieing due to retaliation of your OWN attacks. HILARIOUS. Try throwing out a feedback bubble and dying because retaliation damage, that’s a troll thing if i’ve ever seen it. I’ll sheild my allies from projectiles! and die because the reflect back to enemies with the retaliation buff apparently procs off of my feedback…

What they should do is Make all types of WvW gear instead of just “Knight’s” gear. Then as a passive bonus to having the badges invader gear have it cost nothing to repair.
This way constant WvW players are rewarded for always being in WvW and have a reason to spend badges on the WvW gear. This effect would only take place in WvW mind you, so if you took invaders gear out in pve land it would still need repairs.

This build is particularly reliant on Stealth but it’s not often chained together even in say a 1v4. Combining ALL of your utilities amplifies the stealth provided in this build. (stealth into blink or utilizing the extra second on prismatic understanding)

If your super worried about the stealth nerf, I run a simliar build that is 0/25/25/0/20 instead losing the grandmaster in return for the confusion on clone death. It does make your stealths shorter which sucks 1vx players but overall roaming with a group its not a huge disadvantage, and with the clones being killed in group confusion yay more damage. That being said i’d probably use flimp’s build if i roamed solo more instead of group roaming.

In my torch i currently have a sigil of geomancy. I was using sigil of blood but i couldn’t tell if i was getting the life steal effect or if so how often. Went to geomancy for more bleeding.

Mobs do focus those with heavy armor, all games are designed with this setup in mind. You CAN take aggro from those characters with Superior DPS but it is difficult, but yes they tend to go for the high armors first. Heavy armor to enemies is like cake to a fat kid they just go for it. So running a toughness setup will get you focused if thats what you want. However because you are having mobs focus you, retaliation on your phantasm’s is not going to be as efficent imo.

I run a 20/20/0/0/30 build so its kinda based off of shatters but is all straight damage. Full zerkers gear with Zerker’s accessories. Mental Torment and Greatsword mastery in domination. Blade training and Deceptive evasion in Dueling. Precise wrack, Illusionary elasticity, and illlusionary persona. Decoy, Feedback(for combo field)/Blink(for survive), and usually signet of Inspiration. Signet is great for when you have a guardian or ele, in group to gain buffs and repass buffs around. If you dont want signet use blink and feedback. Weapons are S/S and greatsword Zerker’s stats on each.
Runes of the Eagle give more crit and crit damage with Bonus damage. Primarily you’ll be using GS and then bursting with the sword.

Have you ever though of using Rune of the Undead? Rune of Lyssa is great for its 6 but Rune of the Undead is pretty much a match for the tanky condition build you run.

Has anyone tested it with Our elite skill summon druid?

How to beat glass cannon theives and mesmers 101. More toughness, enough said. Dont cry it does to much damage when you have a glassy build yourself. YES it still hits hard even with high toughness but its managable, and unless your not that good you can easily counter.

This thread seems appropriate because it is a Trait that needs clarification more than anything. Wastrel’s Punishment the grand master tier in Domination, 5% more damage to inactive foes. Sooooo I do more damage to someone who’s AFK? or does it mean stunned and dazed? Even then that is only 1 second, not even close to being worth the grand master tier.

I personally love the scepter too. It has high use in a conditions survive build. For all things scepter I point you to FLIMP. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/mesmer/Video-FLIMP-STOMP-OF-THE-YEARRRRRR

He updates quite often with youtube vids and streams. Great staff/ scepter,torch mesmer.

It could possibly be this skill. Alternatively I play Mesmer and personally i use Runes of the Citadel. Citadel 6)5% chance on hit to drop a bomb. Maybe thats it? Bombs also scale to level so it could be that they are using a similar setup and you just miss the bomb being dropped.

I don’t see much of a problem because i base the passive speed boost while in combat. I as a mesmer would much prefer my ability to blink WAY farther than any speed boost will ever get me, to passively moving 10 or 25% faster. Out of combat sure additional speed is always nice but essentially while in combat, blink, and stealth > passive speed bonus.

I’m going to stick with a Build toughness on ANY character and it beats the glass cannon “OP” character. Survive will eventually trump burst.

Zergs are unfortunately a necessary entity. If everyone was in 5-10 man groups taking objectives nothing would ever get flipped. The reason is because while your defending a castle or even supply points when its 5v5 one team will have the advantage of the NPC’s making there #‘s larger. To an extent, bigger #’s win. When a fight gets scaled to 20 vs 30 the smaller side has potential to win, but its obvious if you were to just run all in and clash the bigger number wins. Taking points though would just be to hard to have Only small groups. Defending > attacking always. Nothing would get flipped without at least one large force coming and kicking your door in.

First off Mesmer was the first character i created and is still my main. Other mesmer’s are particularly easy to fight and beat. As mentioned above clones are pretty stupid running in straight lines, throwing out 1 ability. The real mesmer is just a GIVEAWAY. The best tip i can give to finding the real Mesmer is they have more than one buff, and maintenance/food. Fast selection of characters will give it away quick. If suddenly you see 3 people running to you well they are either REALLY dumb or they are explosive and you should dodge that. If they aren’t using food buffs or anything of the sort well they are probably bad anyway and then you just have to look for the “smart” clone, it will dodge roll to create clones, move side to side, and use more than spam 1 skill. Over all the biggest feat to overcome is when Mesmer’s stealth because they can run or completely re-position(stealth into blink) themselves and you have to find them all over again.

Alot of issue is that light armor and medium armor classes build for raw damage. The only way to counter that is to build somewhat defensively. The game mechanics work for these classes being able to build damage while still having an ESCAPE mechanism; warriors, guardians, other classes without as good as an escape such as stealth or clones just cant build DPS builds which is how everyone wants to play. If your a warrior and your a high damage burst build your asking to be put down. Theives and Mesmers can build these ‘glass canon’ build’s because they can get out after they throw off there nuke and get prepared for another. A guardian/warrior, (or other light armor classes) would never be able to achieve this though, because they dont have as prominent of an escape.

Flimpy vol 3. was the reason I rolled mesmer when i started this game. Flimpy for president

The major reason T8 needs a switch. Showing SF’s lead from about 7pm till 1am when i logged. The chart looked close to this the whole time.
