Finally, not everyone is Christian. Nor does everyone here celebrate on or the turning of the Gregorian calendar. Some observances began on the 25th day of Kislev (which on the Gregorian calendar was sunset, 8 December).

We are a global community with exceptionally rich diversity. The cultural imperialism of your message is obnoxious disrespectful.

Happy Holidays

Take it easy. He obviously wasn’t trying to offend anyone. It’s pretty amusing that you would call someone a cultural imperialist because they said Merry Christmas and Happy New Year on a forum for a game primarily catering to NA, EU, Australia and NZ.

I’m surprised it took this long to muster up the political correct police from under their bridges.

Thank you very much to the Asura from Galactic Ninja Commandos that showed me through the EB jumping puzzle. Never done it before

psh, elementalists are fine!

You’d figure since ANet’s policy’s towards server transfers create these terrible situations, they’d do something to remedy it.
(1) Start charging for transfers.
(2) Increase cooldown on free server transfer.
(3) Go back to 1-day WvWvW or have a better system to rate servers (so HoD isn’t stuck in impossible battles for another month).

I don’t know. Something.

QQing on a skill that can be dodged, lossed and stealthed and have it go on CD just shows how bad you people are. On plus, you probably forget that when moaed you are still able to run away, dodge, survive 10 seconds, and come back. If you die during it, you would have probably died anyway.

On plus, it’s only as useful in small encounters situations. When it gets more than 3v3, it’s just meh.

But hey, let’s complain about moa cause “bad musmur moaed me and killzdz0r me whne I hd 3000 hp, QQ”.

Funny how everyone is instead ignoring a skill that gives allied team 100% damage increase for 10 seconds.

Go back to pve if you can’t handle such trivial situations.

Saying this skill isn’t OP because you can dodge, LOS, etc… is a terrible argument. Every skill can be dodged or LOS. It doesn’t even have a long or detectable animation (and even if it did the mesmer could just cast it in stealth.

And, how can you say it’s not powerful in large fights? It removes someone from the fight for more than 10 seconds (because if the bird doesn’t run away it’s likely dead). The only reason it’s not used in tPVP is because Mesmer’s have even more powerful elites than moa.

Coming from playing an elementalist, it’s absolutely ridiculous. Mesmer’s get mass stealth, mass quickness (i win this cap), moa (i win this fight); ele’s get LOLTORNADO, that’s so kitten slow and a magnet for ranged, conjure fire sword which is awful, and an elemental which is actually descent, but not close to any mesmer elite.

Bravo – seems like a pretty good build. I don’t think I would have fun with a treb killer role but it’s cool it works for you.

But, I asked beating 2 people at one. Or even one person at once >.< Your AOE fields all have very obvious effects with very low damage. And, while you bring a lot of combo fields, you have close to no combo finishers (2 if I’m right?). It’s a good support build, but that’s all I see being successful for ele; basically forcing an entire class to build a certain way for success.

Have you played an elementalist? Please explain what utilities they have which would enable them to “beat several opponents at once”?

While the game certainly should not be balanced for 1v1, 1v1 strength does have implications in a game with as few kitten players per team. And, as the game currently stands, 1v1 is extremely imbalanced. It’s not the same imbalance you’d find in WoW (rock-scissors-paper), it’s one or two classes totally dominate most of the other classes/specs.

Also, not only do mesmers bring arguably the strongest 1v1, their group utility is amazing. I would trade any elementalist elite for any of the mesmer elites (besides whirlpool – which is comically the strongest example of an IWIN button on the most UP class)

I’ve been trying to PVP with my main elementalist with average success. Made a mesmer tonight. Put points into illusion and clones traits. Equipped staff and scepter+torch. Spent 0 time practicing.

And I roll people without even trying. There really is very little effort on my part. I spawn illusions and clones. They hit hard, have a good amount of life. A bunch of my abilities stealth myself, switch myself with clones. I basically summon kitten and LOS everything. There was some Gladiator thief that tried to 1v1 me for my FIRST fight. We both went into downed state but of course my clones kept pinging him. I eventually healed and could finish him.

You shouldn’t be able to do this. The game is broken right now. You can either
a) play a broken class
b) leave and come back when things are balanced
c) continue to struggle through your current UP class and fight on uneven field

It doesn’t matter at all that everyone’s gear is the same when the classes are so unbalanced.

In fairness to AN, I would rather them fix actually bugs before balancing. But they could have launched with better balance between classes. Or, ya know, hire separate people to handle both balance and bugs at the same time.
