I never used GS in WvW and was doing just fine pre-patch, and now with the Torch change I’m enjoying it more.
So since the nerf do not affect you build, it’s fine that other builds are destroyed?
The title is R.I.P. WWW Mesmer, so I’m just providing counter-evidence that this is, in fact, not the case.
I really wonder what you do when you siege someone ? Torch have no ranged AOE and Staff your 2 weapon i would guess is more or less harmless. Unless you have a main hand weapon i dont know about it dont sound fun. Don’t say scepter the 900 range is a deathtrap when you siege, on the higher tiers anyway.
Most of WvW doesn’t involve offensively sieging keeps/towers — it is certainly an important aspect but I spend much more time in defensive and open-field situations.
For times where we are offensively attacking a keep or tower, I primarily focus on cutting off reinforcements and/or controlling a siege weapon (which is much more influential on the battle than hitting someone on the wall).
Siege is a very BIG part of www and your spec is useless at that. I guess that is you dont siege it is all fine, but i really want to play all of www not only a small part of it. Siege weapons is all fine but not a part of you class. Our ranged damage/AOE is a joke now that we only have 2½ good ranged attacks with the GS. GS1-2 is fine GS3 is a joke GS4 nerfed to hell and GS5 is defensive.
Next time you go wvw, be aware of how much of it requires you to hit someone on top of a wall, and how much of it is ‘everything else’. You’ll spend a lot more combat time doing ‘everything else’. As I mentioned, there are other things to do at an offensive siege that is more influential than hitting someone on a wall. For example, my Necro can do stupid things to people/groups on a wall, but nothing near what I can do with an arrow cart of ballistae.
Who did create a mesmer to fire a ballista or arrow cast ?. The class where just fine before they nerfed our AOE down the drain. LOS fine 50% damage reduction is WAY to much. What you say is that unless you find a arrowcart or Ballista a mesmer is useless in siges now. And you are right
I don’t know the full details on the GS4 damage nerf — I presume that is a bug that hopefully will be fixed.
I also stated that, during offensive sieges, I’ll work to cut off reinforcements from getting to the keep/tower — which is much more important than trying to kill someone on a wall (who will likely be rezzed anyway).
In defensive sieges, I don’t have limitations to my gameplay at all.
Doing what ? Standing next to the lord and wait for the enemy to rush in ?. Staff is a dps joke and 900 range don’t cut it. Staff might be ok out in the open but the projectile delay on ST1 people will just run out of range before you can do any real damage ) And guess what you don’t have many secs on the wall before you need to pull back from AOE. Don’t Say staff 4 the cool down makes it next to useless.
I usually spend most of my time in defensive sieges rushing outside the wall and killing people, not standing next to the lord.
Illusionary Persona, Chaos Armor, Chaos Storm, Feedback, Null Field. Clone on Dodge, and four shatters. The amount of confusion damage done by these is silly, and the survivability is top notch.
I also don’t know why you say staff-4 cooldown makes it useless, since I can keep it up for 15 seconds in a row due to combo fields.
People just dodge out of the AOE. And since the DPS/effect is very week it is a joke.
You seem to be confusing your abilities.
And for the ability that you think is Staff-4 (which is actually staff-5), it is used much more as a defensive measure and additional means on applying the actual staff-4 (which I presume you think is staff-5).
Sorry misstype staff 5 and it is still useless in sieges. Unless you are running condition build.
Staff 5 is a silly good defensive ability, for both us and allies. It is quite useful in siege situations.
Staff is a fair defensive weapon but the offensive side is a joke unless you are running a condition build. Bad mix with GS/Sword.

Use to run a GS/S-F. Melee dps is still fine but ranged is real bad now. And I hate that Arena Net force me to use focus since it our only stable way of getting a speed boost. Staff4-5 can do it sometimes but very unstable. Run speed is alfa in WWW.

It would be logical to intensify the attacks on the winning server. That combined with our relatively low server population will make this week’s fight a hard one. I personally love it
bring them all to the slaughter.
Seafarer’s – Nierae [Para]
I don’t say anyone is cheating just that we are insanely outnumberet. Last night at 20.38 we even had the outmanned buff and that is our primetime. Some of the posts here from Blacktide people make you think we have even numbers. Well we don’t 18-20 Hours a day. I would say we have the outmanned buff or are really close to 14-16 hours a day.

Nop, you weren’t.
I logged off at 22h20 CET, and you weren’t in the lead then, it was more or less equal with us Just ahead.
I even checked because i was having a “friendly conversation” with somebody earlier in this thread (might’ve been you? kitten if i know, it was a SFR) where I explained i’ve been logging off early lately due to illness and that i’d see today if i could stay a bit later to check what the score was Right before i logged off, because, you know, stomping claims.Lin: And we love working together with you, thank you for the support!
Then you have bad eyesight. Or there may have been a short period when we lost some point and where equal to Blacktide.
Guess I will just have to take pictures of the map tomorrow to show how epic Blacktide fail in Central EU timezone.

There’s no actual lead though until we go to bed
Oh, btw, soul,w eren’t you saying either we should have the lead around this hour? :p
Rubbish
Did have some nice fights with Riverside and Blacktide. But where in the lead the last 5 or 6 hours.
Blacktide and Riverside only lost numbers the last few hours. We lost numbers to but did have a advantage the last few hours. That doesn’t change that we were in the front the whole Western EU primetime.
My guess is that Blacktide will claim they lose because they only have Russian players. ROFL )

Xaoc early morning crew is totally not carrying the server…totally!
All the efforts of SFR from Monday and Tuesday evening…and then this happens…again.Well, we look forward to 18:00 CET when we will have to re-take all the keeps that Xaoc PVD crew upgraded.
The life on SFR is never boring
If that annoys you, then wait until you face off against an actual nightcapping server.
There’s a reason all top tier servers are trying to recruit American guilds, you know.
We did fight Arborstone last week. Say hallo to French people from around the world . Really hope we get to fight two western Europe primetime servers next week.

We had +480 @ 3 am GMT and now +15
They got us during the night rolleyes
The only fun thing to do during the night is to run around Solo with a 30 player Enemy Zerg train behind you because they have nothing better to do.
They are giving me the NightWillies
Besides the talk about some players cheating I really have no clue about why they did close the old one.
Anyway Seafarer’s are looking forward to vaporizing Riverside and Blacktides from 20:00-23:30 Gmt +1. We did actually have a queue last night around those hours Just like the old days.
