Just wait.

-he doesn’t know the truth behind leaderboard rank yet, don’t spoil it.

I know it doesn’t really mean anything but since getting ranked I haven’t had to deal with multiple people capping a point, players always rushing far at the start and dying, players always zerging, players with terribad builds, playing constantly fighting off points, player solo engaging bunker guard or banner regen wars on fully capped points, players that don’t understand skyhammer or spirit watch(dislike this maps but meh), player that engage in fights that dont accomplish anything(seen so may player jump into a 3v1 situation wtf!).

Actually since getting to 90% my gaming experienced has greatly improved and there is a very noticeable difference in skill. There were times I got really frustrated with the level of in-experience and incompetence of some players. I wondered why even play soloq if I just am constantly getting annoyed. Things do seem to change as you get higher and that has been my experience so far.

Just wait…you’ll get 4v5s and Skyhammer and start getting frustrated again. You’ll get scrubs again…just wait for it. And then, you’ll realize there are are bad players on LB and have high MMR and you’ll realize it’s MMR Hell no matter what your MMR is.

I’ll say it again and I’ll keep saying it.

Mesmer will always be zero skill cancer class. This class is just flat-out EVIL and should just be deleted and re-worked from scratch. Why? Because distortion is Berserker Stance, Endure Pain, and Balanced Stance in one package. It boggles me that people think Warrior is brain dead with it’s invulnerabilities but Mesmer isn’t. Like seriously Mesmer takes skill? It’s so easy to count dodges while spamming dodges on this brain-dead excuse of a class. Even worse now that they enabled Knights amulet in sPVP. Add to the fact that that Mesmers can attack while spamming endurance dodge or any form of cheese for that matter, something will go wrong if they aren’t kept “UP”.

I guess balancing will always be pathetic when ANET is in charge of GW2.

Mesmer is the perfect example of EVIL in video games. Never a fun class to play against and people literally think they’re good when they play this brainless class just because “I have to time my evades on a Mesmer” when this cancer class has so much more evades than any other class in the game.

Don’t even bring Thief into the discussion, Sword Dagger is balanced now and Thieves don’t deal DPS if they spam short bow 3.

Haha I had a good chuckle there! Thanks I needed that after a tough week.

I don’t get it. As far as my pets damage and my normal TTK, nothing really seemed off. (Not sure if you know this or not, but MM pets don’t scale with stats)

My mistake.

ronpierce.2760:

The strange thing is I don’t recall my minions (Necro) hitting harder than usual? I certainly wasn’t having buggy hits doing ridiculous things like Mesmers… o.O

Yes you did lol, you just dont notice it cuz you aren’t running glass cannon ^^"

Darnis.4056:

Now the damage on zerker is 2k :/ Warlock is 1.8k on ele.

gg Mesmers.

Kinda hilarious how Mesmer were sort of “viable” because of bugs. Now we are worse than eles haha.

style.6173:

What a lot of people in this thread fail to realize is that the F skills are intended to be really strong across all professions. Thief is included in that. I don’t really have an issue with the current set up.

Guardian’s F skills SO STRONG. Not.

Im lucky I’m a guardian…I have beginner’s shoulder skins haha. WTB Headpiece though….

idk how many games i lost becose someone was afk on close and enemy team just ignored him whole game

All devs I played with or against are very good at pvp. I don’t think a random community team would have much chance.

Either the level of NA-PvP is horribly low or you’re defnitely not an experienced player. Besides Powerr and Grouch, noone of them can be considered “good”.

Plot twist: He only played with or against Powerr and Grouch.

It’s funny to see those comparisons..

Mesmer is and will stay the best class for 1v1 scenario’s. (lets say the GS/staff shatter build)

Can you explain why thief hardcounter mesmer then?

Because the mesmer isn’t played right?
I easily kill thiefs with my mesmer (since I got alot of hours on my thief so I know how to deal with them)

EDIT: I do find trouble sometimes against pw-thiefs, thats right, but that’s often by my mistake, not their pw in total.
(But as I said earlier, I would def agree seeing pw getting toned down)

Vice versa cannot be said since I play mesmer alot aswel but still have alot of trouble killing mesmer with my thief. Thiefs are predictable (since they got no cd), mesmers are not.
It mostly comes down if u got situational awareness and experience/knowledge of the class you play and also the class you play against. It helps alot, trust me.

I got equal experience in both in sPvP

So you must be better than Supcutie, Helseth, Sensotix, etc. Interesting….

If you are losing to a thief as a mesmer, it is you. Mesmer is best 1v1 class.

Lol

Thief takes more skill than Mesmer any time of the day.

Spamming Pistol Whip takes so much skill.

Pistol Whip costs five initiative. It can’t be spammed. It can be used twice. One more time if traited. It also has a long, very obvious start up, and roots the thief. Making it very very unsafe and punishable on dodge. Honestly people, do you even bother looking at how these things work or just parrot things you hear somewhere else?

It was an obvious sarcastic comment…I was more ridiculing the idea that PW thief takes more skill to play than a Shatter Mesmer.

Solo queue is about individual skill

That is so not true, even if you win all of your fights, your team can still lose. Solo queue is about being lucky enough to have less kittens on your team than the other team.

Zerker thievs are the reason why i play zerk Shatter mesmer ^_-

Let me guess…you like playing in downstate?

^^ the quality of players posting here is amazing.

Top quality Shatter Mesmers DO spend a significant amount of time in the downstate vs. teams that properly execute D/P, S/P, ganks, or persistent, difficult to peel, S/D aggression.

It’s actually a pretty much a common theme amongst leading Mesmer mains to get so frustrated with Mesmer, roll Thief, and make attempts (some attempts more/less feeble than others) to compete with it.

Thank you Chaith! Exactly what I wanted to say. Good Guy Chaith indeed

Awesome guide Super! Love seeing you stream! Best of luck for your exams!

You said it…it’s Yolo Q, why support teammates that you can’t trust and that aren’t competent? You should play a class and a build you enjoy, win or lose…

He’s #1 now!!!

I think most win/ratio’s at the moment are screwed by the amount of 4v5 and skyhammer…Good players could easily get over 60% win ratio if it weren’t for those two things. Until there’s no more 4v5 and skyhammer, leaderboards ranks won’t mean a thing

Good job Sensotix, are you still going to do a video on 1v1 tips as a shatter mesmer?

Well, this just happened to me today, after the patch….I was in a 3v0 match and now I’m got reset at 0%…..Sad
