Lets do a simple math. If you def a lost point for some seconds you prevent them from gaining some points from it. Then you die and return these points. Then you have to run from spawn and lose a lot of fighting time not to mention it splits and puts your remaining teammates at a disadvantage. They def as well and die too. And it kittening spirals into the usual roflstomp.
The main objection would be “we ‘run’ (hehe) zero mobility failbuilds that cant run away from mutilated granny”. Well…
where everyone plays exactly the same build and class. Because diversity = no equality.
I soo miss roflstomping failbuilders playing unplayable classes.
Nah i j/k ofc you wont do it kittened up failbuilder interests above all ik.
The obscure thing about playing Mind Mastery Mentalists and the likes is that you actually have to have a mind as opposed to Rawr I Have A Big Flaming GS.
Because standing still is just plain old stupid.
I can see the stupid objections from stupid it may raise like “and how we stupid are going to focus down the real mesmer then? because you dont really think that mesmer should be able to really deceive? deception is soo unfair to us stupid” but i just dont give a kitten.
The shatter mesmer with duel is completely dead, don’t even bother trying to play it.
Shatter was always a bs idea because of how it instantly destroys your means of survival.
But in MP, it means that actually what you want is the prey to struggle but ultimately still be prey.
This means: The more unfair you can make it, the better.
I do not deny that i enjoy being on the overpowered roflstomping side, but suffering and struggling as a prey and giving hunters an exactly zero kills of me escaping out of anything alive also holds a great appeal. Defiance is its own reward. I have been called masochist multiple times for a reason.
Your build could use some serious optimization but i wont spoil the fun for you. As on the point of capping points, empty point caps just fine and mesmers always were more of a +1.
To what failbuilds arent a food? To me, Mes vs Thief experience looks like this: Thief chases me hungry wolf style, in vain, and slowly, painfully, dies to clones.
Yeah. “Good Reasons”= “Pleading Whiners”.
#BeggingOP #NurfBeggars.
Thief? lol. Melee thieves instadie to a field stack and even ranged ones suffer from not having three decoys doing damage while hero himself runs around in stealth laughing his behind off.
I see. As usual, stuff was right before but then it got mutilated to appease whiners. Happens everywhere.
instead of disappearing. When i play my scepter build, using shatters on anything short of bursting low/downed enemy is a pure suicide i would get instatargeted and with cele removal thats an instadown. And so quite a few of excess clones are getting wasted.
Mesmer is the only class that haves a sPvP totally unkillable potential. Not feeding enemy a bunch of fives can turn the close game.
And unless you have a perma swiftness, 25% and two teleports.
Do you calculate in a HUGE downtime when you arent hitting anything with a melee weapon? I guess not. Bigger burst to the face yes; bigger dps? lolno.
I am a self-taught scientist monkey.
I like to use “fustercluck”. Cuz it also refers to chickens.
You can play ranked leagues on Strongold only!!! You pay for Swaard, you make some insane dps build, you rush the lord at third minute, you repeat it and you get to Legend!!! TEH REVELATION!!!
So i took a mesmer girl as a temporary apprentice to observe her and ask how she dies. After some time she admitted she simply doesnt knows when and where to go and how to engage/disengage and just runs in and mashes buttons. Yep, one game she was stomped on cap alone by a five catmen angry mob. I suspected faceroll factor figures in there somewhere, now i have proof.
Who honnestly takes hudge damage with traps ?
I really don’t get how you can be killed with traps.
You walk onto an empty cap. BOOM!!! Instakill.
ITS A TRAP!!!
Saw some disgusting overphattened kitten s but zero burnination. Whats up?
Why Chronobunker is cancer? Facetank, rewind, facetank, rip. Same as Necros second bar; doesnt saves from an angry mob.
Sword does better damage than scepter? Lool. Have you tried to calculate the loss of dps from running around chasing ppl in vain and having 2x less clone spawn? Also from being downed trying to melee fire ele or DH? Or wait do you mean open PvE?
Okay. I will change it to 2 hours then.
Running about burninating ppl alive, anyone? Also death from staff seems pretty excruciating as well.
I once won a 500/0 on Courtyard. So?
Also do you want queyes to be thirty minutes so you can get a perfect match-up? I do not.
If the sport is to have a lot of viewers it must be very simple so ppl have no trouble figuring whats going on. When you see a soccer goal you know exactly whats happened. GW2 is way too fast and complicated.
When you are getting butchered like a pig, the natural reaction is to flee this place.
But yes, explaining to stupid suiciders what they are is not going to work. Because their suicides and the ages old mankind tradition of stupid suicide makes them pretty immune to reason. Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulguKSCTZD0
Being useful would be figuring out how to win.
I got it figured already. You have to gamble/premade decent teammates that do reasonably more stomps than suicides. So it is possible to stealth revive them at all.
Just survived a stompage in ranked; my “team” was driven before them and slaughtered. Me? I managed to snag 3 kills. S3 nuke plus stealth stomp rocks.
Sounds like you lost badly. Congrats on surviving though, that’s far better than being at all useful to your team!
“Being useful” and “being nice, obedient expendabro” is very often quite the same is it not? Did i lost something? Nope. I won 3 kills on reckless butchers, sanity and self-control.
I bet your mother’s just so proud.
Pride cometh before fall or so they say.

Stomp what you can; dont get stomped back.
Never mind, i have found an answer myself again. The cause is severe kittenation plus desperation for win.
I was going to think up some sort of cutting response, but I’m too tired. Could you just go away?
You think its (only) me? You are soo wrong. Let me quote a Dark Elf female hero from Warlords Battlecry 3 here: “Pathetic weakling!”
Just survived a stompage in ranked; my “team” was driven before them and slaughtered. Me? I managed to snag 3 kills. S3 nuke plus stealth stomp rocks.
You all miss the truth of the matter: SUDDEN KITTENATION. Happens to me all the time.
Ahaha my props XD
Like “Meat”, “Suicidal Meat”, “VERY Suicidal Meat” and so on? So when you run alone or in pair into 5 man group you will appear honest?
Never mind, i have found an answer myself again. The cause is severe kittenation plus desperation for win.
I remember when thief was a major annoyance for tough autoattackers, stabbing them in the back and constantly recloaking. Now thief does his 19k burst rotation and gets stomped a second later because he cannot restealth.
I soo loved to stomp feeble failbuilders in there and no chance for them to win by capping empty points, went a 500-0 there a few times. Now i do not see it :/ I guess failbuilders got so depressed that Anet took pity on their mournful whines and removed weakness exposition map…
What can i say? Stomp’d XD
Welp i have a fact for you; a legend mesmer comes to unranked after getting bored waiting for 15 minutes and i observe him getting stomped like five times and we lose. MMR exploiters are a fact of life in all MOBAs btw.
Lets say you die five times. It is 25 points. Lets say everyone on your team dies five times. Thats 125 points. Thats a quarter of the whole score. And thats why suicide spam only works vs worse suicide spam.
In my last twelve games i died ONCE. And stomped about a dozen of different mesmers. How do you ppl manage?
Would be more thematic.
Nah just stomped a team full of +1’s. The big upside of not being in a team of those was that we killed their lord on third minute then just roflstomped what was left for fun.
and a huge team liability.
When you have next to zero chance to 1v1 anything and +1 may or may not happen, you are freeloading.
