To my knowledge, the life steal implemented in gw2 has never been significant enough to make a build viable.
I dumped gs ( and to some extent the game: if I’m on the forum it means the game is losing interest to me)
Staff/s-s now
It took me a while, but here is a better explanation with an image.
The movement is meant to help this attack hit moving targets, which is its primary purpose as a skill which reduces movement speed.
Thank you for explaining and documenting for us what has been going on, as none of the playerbase has been able to catch a screenshot or video of what has been happening.
I am also thankful that you have made the issues with the zerker such a top priority, as Mesmer is the only thing that keeps me logging in.
I am so releaved that zerker hit rate has not been reduced and damage has not been reduced. If it had I am sure you would of just said it had been changed.
/sarcasm
I was releaved to hear a dev say that zerker was intented to hit targets.

they should also give the environment more interactivity.
I was excited when I heard about the combo mechanic, and how GW2 would let you use the environment as a weapon, but ANet failed to deliver. Give waterfalls, rivers and ponds constant Water Fields. Give campfires and lit torches a Fire Field. Let us actually interact with the environment
it.

LOL. Thank you. I needed a laugh today.
I take a break. Come back to game, and my first thoughts were “holly crap, I really lost it over the last few months.” Turns out most of my damage got patched out.
Great job anet.
My other game started out rough, but they are making steady advances balancing and adding improvements. Guildwars took two steps back.
Great sword is fubar right now.
Mesmer is painfully at lower levels, but starts picking up after 35 or so.
Considering the severity of the changes to the class, I would expect a dev response to at least acknowledge the issues, and say whether this was intentional or not.
Lack of response is worse than the bug (nerf, error, wtf they want to call it)
In general wvw is about mobility, range, and burst.
So focus is just about mandatory. Power/crit and great sword are hard to get away from as well.
Mesmer actually has a ton of viable builds, so keep your mobility up, experiment, and whatever you kill with the best is your go-to build.
Dodge clones attack closest tgt as far as I can tell. I have not tested this, but I often notice my dodge clone sticking around after “combat” is over, or taking off to attack behind me when I shatter.
Go play necro for a week. Come back and you will feel op
When you get sharper images, trait for a weapon recharge, and/or get some on clone death procs, you will see a jump in performance.
For me, gaining vitality on crit and sharper images changed the way my Mesmer played.
That other classes get better versions of a cc that is arguably one of our core abilities; and that one of the highest burst, mobility, and stealth classes gets the longest fear in the game; tells me balance at Anet is a joke.
