I am not one to kitten around on the forums but i feel that this last patch was too much. I am lvl 68 right now and i have not touched pvp at all. I really hated my char through the first 40 lvls but I found the mesmer more complex then any other class so i stuck with it. Now after the patch I find my class more like the horrible thing i had to play before “everything was suppose to get better”. Before I played GS and SW/SW i was able to keep 3 phantoms up in a fight if it was a good fight. Now with the longer cool downs i am extremely lucky to get three up if i target different mobs, this is with phantoms only. I hate shatter builds and yes i do shatter when i see my mob is almost dead but I wish we were not forced into it. The way i see it to let us have our phantoms till we are out of combat is you are going to give us the longer cd/ct.
Sorry if my post gave you cancer but spiderman will forgive me
