Clones are a waste.

At level 15 I was able to kite and kill a veteran 19 mob simply by making clones and running around. Use a greatsword, keep the clones up using 2 and 4 abilities and run around while facing the target so your auto-attack dishes out pain.
In PvP, spawning a clone will cause the player to de-select you which is fantastical in single-target group situations (still sucks for AoE damage but oh well).

Bottom line:
Clones are a tool, not a staple.

Shattering...counter intuitive?

in Mesmer

Shattering is something I do as a finisher. If the enemy is down to around 10% health or so I can slam the F1 key and /giggle my way to victory. In PvP situations, the other shatters (F2 thru F4) offer various buffs and debuffs that increase survivability. In my opinion, Mesmer illusions were never intended to increase 1 on 1 damage… but rather toss chaos and confusion into the bucket of mess that we call combat.

Why change dye from account to character only?

Understandable Hickeroar, but you also have to take into account the number of new players who will not have any dye. The market for dyes will never vanish and the ‘hit’ that the market would take would be mild at worst.

Unfortunately I’m one of the players that doesn’t log 90+ hours per week. So gaining 4 or 5 dye a week is a major improvement to my spectrum. I do not want to waste what little time and energy I have into farming dyes for EACH toon. I whole heartedly support account-wide dye options. If you believe having dyes character-bound is the correct way to go, I would need a valid reason why…

How to do personal story with a friend?

It’s possible to do co-op story instances but it’s very hit and miss. Both characters will get credit for completing the story however only the initiating member (the one who started the event) will appear in the dialogue sequences. Any NPCs in the instance that need protecting/escorting will also only follow the initiator’s character.
When I do the stories together with my younger sister I always let her do the initiation since I don’t really care much to see my character babble with NPCs. We both get credit and baskets of exp so it’s a win-win.

May need you to clarify what it is you’re trying to purchase and where on the Black Lion Trading Co. I’ve had one or two issues with trading gems/gold back and forth but purchases of items I haven’t run into any problems with.

Which Class Does the Most Ranged Damge?

I’m fully aware of what trolling means.

After reading your response I’m convinced that you have no clue how to play melee classes so you label them as not viable.

You know I have to second-guess my response earlier. If you go to the Wiki link at the top of the guildwars2 page and search for ‘Daze’ and ‘Stun’ you get the following definitions:

Daze – An effect caused by some skills which interrupts and prevents the target from using skills for a period of time.
Stun – An effect caused by some skills which interrupts, immobilizes, and incapacitates foes for a short duration.

So I was wrong. Daze interrupts abilities whereas Stun interrupts and adds in immobilize factor. I will agree with you that 1-second really isn’t enough to make a difference though.

On what ground do you support that melee classes are not viable? I smell an unhappy troll.
Each profession has their own strengths and weaknesses so there is no ‘best’.

Ha! Especially when they put your one and only city a stones throw away from the starting area.

We agree to disagree then. There’s more to killing someone than hitting them with the biggest spell.

The OP hasn’t responded since the original post so I will safely assume he was being pissy and quit already. The purpose of containing your level is all over the walls of this forum. If you do not like how this feature works, go to one of the other MMO’s that utilize 1-man wrecking balls.

For the most part that trait doesn’t have much use. The daze slows down a unit (affects movement only) where-as a stun will stop a target for the 1-second duration. Stunning interrupts casting and channeling abilities which is a nice perk. Also there may be some rare instances where a mob may be immune to daze but not stun.
