For people who think Plate maker has it easy … do you aware that we have to buy from vendor a secondary mat to refine the ore. I “mindlessly” bought some to refine my 250 stack platium last night without paying attention … and boy … that was EXPENSIVE!
We have to buy thread as well from vendors to craft items.
Your point being? Even if it had been out for 12 months and you decided today that you wanted to make a weapon you would still have to spend 50-60 days of playing 12+ hours a day to get one.
WoW Rogue’s legendary daggers on cataclysm used to take like 4 months of a straight forward “grind” on the last tier raid, so whats your point regarding the time it takes to get the most “high-end” item?
Bad example, those daggers are the easiest legendary in the game to get, you didn’t even have to set foot in a hardmode raid to get them.
If you want to talk difficult legendary grind, talk Atiesh.
Mesmer’s can be difficult to solo groups of mobs, but certainly not impossible. I use sword/pistol and greatsword. When getting a group of mobs on me, I try to line them up and use skills that damage in a straight line like Mirror Blade and phantasmal berserker which will also hit multiple enemies, and then you can use the illusionary wave to knock them all back. Then I switch to sword/pistol and use magic bullet to stun all of them and get up close and slash all of them with blurred frenzy, jump back and pick a target with the most health and put Phantasmal Duelist on him. Then I jump back, and switch back to greatsword, push them back and rinse and repeat. With ranged attacking in a group of melee, you can either moa bird them, and when they recover from that, you can also use feedback to reflect their projectiles back at them. You will have to also make sure to roll away when either of those are on cooldown and a projectile is fired at you, or if magic is fired at you, because feedback doesn’t effect magic.
Also when you get elite skills at 30 you can easily use the Series 7 robot to attack instead of using the moa morph to dish out damage to them for 40 seconds which is really handy solo. Make sure to put points into domination for bleeds and use any debuff shields you may have like the radiation field, I don’t remember its exact name.
I prefer to only take on 2 or 3 at a time if I can, and don’t grind by killing, but grind events and hearts.
Some of the elites you listed here are Asura specific and not mesmer specific.
Not mention Trick Shot doesn’t " stun all of them," it dazes the first target, then applies a confuse to one, and blind to the other (don’t remember the order of the last two conditions).
I personally would prefer that the 4 Utility / 5 Phantasm standard was across all offhand weapons at the very least, but it’s not a huge deal that it’s not. Would be nice though.
