i just have one question about this stupid offhand. why are people still targeting me, and pounding on me while im invisible? shouldnt the use of this ability drop all targets?
I doubt you’re being targeted, people are most likely just trying to predict your movements and swinging wildly in that direction.
All stealth in the game suffers from lock on from ranged attacks. You can use ranged attacks to track targets that have stealthed. You can use your illusionary duelists for this, Rangers do it all the time etc.
*Any build that abused the cooldown bug on Torch.
Fair point, but it was hard NOT to abuse the torch bug. Anything that canceled the stealth (e.g. being interrupted by a knock-back while stealthed) reset the cooldown whether you were “abusing” it or not. It’s the kind of thing you can get unconsciously used to even if you’re not deliberately abusing it.
One more note after watching the whole thing. Build will be less powerful after the prestige fix, but then, so will any build that included torch.
This looks like a good strong bunker build. I wouldn’t call it a condition build because there are lots of condition talents you did not take, and you took a 15% increase illusion damage, and cleansing conflagration, both in the power line.
None of that is bad of course. It’s just not a pure “condition build.” It’s a balanced tanky point defense build.
But whatever it’s just quibbling over names. Build looks fun.
Sounds entertaining. And you don’t always need chasing power. Sometimes you just need to tank on an objective point. And this would do that.
a weak class complaining about more powerful classes
ive seen nothing but “my class sucks, x y and z is OP NERF”
tiz sad really.
Nothing he said about class balance is untrue (except Warriors’ downed state being op, imo). It doesn’t have to do with the class he’s playing, either. Mesmer, Thief, and Guardian currently fulfill their respective roles better than any other classes in the game.
No class is better than Thief at roaming. No class is better at 1v1 and trebuchet defense than Mesmer. No class is better at group support and point defense than Guardian. There’s a reason that every competitive 5v5 team runs at least one of each of these classes. That’s obviously a problem.
That doesn’t necessarily mean that those classes need to be nerfed, it just means that other classes need to be equally desirable in a competitive environment. That might mean buffs for them, nerfs for the others, or a combination of the two.
Well said
