Guild Wars 2

My ele Flame of Ashul. Was trying out GemFx but failed horribly,
second one is no filter.

Tabootrinket.2631:

Khyber, your first screen looks sooo rad !!! It could be on the cover of fashion wars weekly

So here’s my mesmer

Tysm <3

My mesmer’s current look, had an old post but I guess this is an update.

Switch to windowed full screen and restart the game, It worked for me.

I just wanted to get in tbh, so I’m one happy camper.

sees reversion of mirrorblade after it got put and removed…

LOL that post (OP link to post) literally made me laugh,might as well delete mesmer while you’re at it.

Something that doesn’t get nerfed every second.

I found someone shockingly close to my look and name once but he or she was snob and didn’t wanna take a picture.
Oh well.

Forgive me but. . . ., “Focus slows you down”? I can’t even think of a response for this. And using gs 5 to “keep mobs grouped up” whaaaat? And torch burns doing “a lot of damage” In what world? Pistol is alright-ish. But OP please use focus for your own sake.

Yeah it’s crazy right? Using GS#5 to knock mobs into a wall to group them up, whaaaaaaaat? That’s too hard to figure out? How about mobs packs that are spread when you run into them where some are ranged? Whaaaat? Yeah this is serious rocket science right here. Weird thing is that this is even more important if you’re using focus as mobs will frequently be out of range of curtain, so this being a “whaaat” situation baffles me.

Burn doesn’t do damage, whaaaat? Sigh… I can’t even.

As for focus – I was totally wrong. Last time I played this was in 2013 and that phantasmal warden had some issues with simply not popping up, but he works fine now from what I’ve seen.

I’m just looking at that 2013 you added in. . .that number just really stood out. Anyway don’t try to flip s**t please, I’ve seen the pointless vortices you’ve trapped people in on other threads so I’m just gonna end this with a simple.
“Ok”
Edit: PS vortices is the plural of vortex.

Crowley.8761:

Don’t use focus it just slows you down. Use a pistol for interrupt and a better phanta, it’s damage you lack afterall. With right utils/skills most mob groups won’t give you a bigger issue.

What you want to do is spread your phantas across mobs if there’s a group, don’t pop all on one unless it’s a bossy type. Make sure you get the chrono trait for respawning phantas when shattering. Try to keep the mobs grouped up if possible, GS #5 can help with this.

The utilities I’m using are blink for getting away from melees, decoy to get mobs off me, and well of calamity for more reliable AoE. Elite – use whatever.

Now there are still groups that can give you a lot of grief, large raptor packs for example. Just gotta get used to it and figure out a good order that works for you. Sword #3 for example is as much a defensive tool as it is a source of damage

If you wanna try something a bit more fun you could try going condi with staff and sword/torch. Burning does a lot of damage plus it’s aoe it’s kinda weird and you’ll have to re-gear somewhat but great fun in a weird way :P

Let us know how you get on as you continue!

Fay.2357:

Phantasms go away after if your opponent is competent enough to cleave them down. They have basically no health, so it only takes one or two autoattacks to do.

If you’re so sure this works on players that aren’t imitating a target golem, feel free to make a video of you killing competent players with this convoluted combo that can be countered without any significant effort.

As I said it’s not about one combo itself, that is simply the potential.

And I’m sorry if I offend you by suggesting something else is possible to run, but it seems to me that we can definitely expect condi chrono to take a hit in the next balance update outside of just the amulet – maybe actually being open to alternatives will alleviate some of the frustration and anger that will follow what is essentially a necessary downtuning. Rather start exploring this now.

PS: Everyone says everyone in unranked is a target golem/noob etc, but they play unranked themselves as well… Strange.

What? Unranked is less intense than ranked but what am I supposed to do? stand around in the lobby or mindlessly slaughter in pve? “but they play unranked themselves as well” pffft

(I don’t even play my thief often but this is sorta common sense.)But. . .pretty sure the purpose of an “assassin class” wasn’t to take hits and crushing blows.

Leave moa untouched but as soon as people start using it, strike it down. smh
I didn’t even need it so much so shrug

You use mass invis anyway?

People still use WoP anyway?

We still need a massive nerf? Um…please try again with this thread.

moomincat.9816:

Do it every day, maybe your just a bad mesmer? I don’t have a problem holding 2-3 people, I guess you don’t manipulate your cool downs and hammer every thing at the same time? Don’t try and plant your awful mesmer play style on other people, really I use pretty much the same build for every thing, why because it works,

Woooah der buddy.

I’ve lost faith ages (A few weeks) ago, Loving my engi and ele though.

Well if iwarlock’s attack is easy to avoid then I must have fought bad players for my entire time in this game. I love staff, whenever I’m condi I put on a sigil of agony and I get some bleeds on.
keyword being some.

“Can I get Pointless Threads for $200 Alex”

I’ll never kiss my mesmer au revoir but….this is making me reconsider things…But I’ll wait.

Finding a “valid” thread now-a-days is really hard, But I’ll keep looking.

Valid?

Worth time? Worth the effort? Worth-anything? “Alacrity should of never been added” what..? ? ?

These weapons obviously scream chrono, They all look so beautiful (Although I don’t like the blunt flat edge of the gs) I want all.

Finding a “valid” thread now-a-days is really hard, But I’ll keep looking.

“Chrono is untouchable 95% of the time” This is malarkey. Ill leave it to the other people to shred you with their responses.

I don’t need to “see” my chaos armor…I know when it’s gonna be active. I didn’t even notice a change.

Some of these nerf suggestions, crack….me….up…

Because…it’s mesmer..
But, I mained mesmer because all the other classes (with the exception of revenant but it wasn’t released yet) were common classes that were a staple of every game. Mesmer was not that.

Stand The Wall.6987:

Thanks OP. We get too see all the forum warriors come out of the woodwork to defend mesmer. Priceless.

Mesmer doesnt even need defending from the OP, honestly.

Chrono dies to my Berserker Warrior. Nuff said. Totally learn to play issue. As long as you know what you’re doing, and bring the right tools, you can get the job done.

+ insert infinity symbol

Where are you OP?

Using Windows 7…and not the best computer (at all) but no crashes here now.

Nightmare for when I wanna go condi and Scholar for power.

I don’t understand how you “cant even hit him” This whole thing sounds like a “you” problem.

Yah this recent patch fixed my issues.

I….would rather wait than do that whole installation process over again. Doubting that would fix anything though.

My crash rate has increased majorly within the past few days (updates) it’s quite…annoying. But I have faith in ANet

Myrias.8732:

If people want to get rid of unblockable, we better get rid of stunbreak too. I think its OP that when I stun people they can get away. Nerf please

Good luck with that. And……as in “get away” do you mean escaping? If you do then I’ve never imagined a world where…MoD or f3 would be used defensively….

This debate on whether or not MB should be blockable. . . . Even if it was blockable…nothing is stopping me from laser-ing my enemy with GS1 then mirror… But either way you are like the 0.000000001% when it comes to this. (In my view at least, I haven’t seen any complaints about MB before this)

A ranger once accused me of running PU and screamed “PU cheese mesmer” (After the nerf btw..) But little did the dumb dumb know……I was running Chaotic Interruption >:^)

A reversion of mirror blade would be nice, But I haven’t suffered much from the nerf so I’m in between (But I would still like the old MB)

When you dont have HoT
:^)

I never use GS1, unless my opponents health is “muy pequeno” I literally can’t think of a way for this to be changed…

I don’t even have HoT and this saddens me, To those who just wanna rush through the game, A big “Oh Well” to you. :^)

As much sense this makes, I have no hope for “others”

Life as a mesmer, joy…. :^)…. This thread was a dried up raisin from the start, There’s no point in continuing but I know it will so..oh well

Thread under construction, Please come back when OP makes sense

And if you have no fun fighting mesmers, Then…Oh well.

You guys are discussing with bad faith. If you are bringing nothing to the table, I suggest you to leave the discussion.

Thread police? since when?
And I quote your earlier statement “Mesmers are hard to read because of the stealth”
And? So? theives are hard to read but whoaaaa?! I manage to beat them? Maybe get a little better sunny boy.
