Guild Wars 2

Let’s face it.

Mesmer is easier to get into PvP than most professions, because your clones distract enemies while you can learn how to play.

This is true especially if you’re fighting begginers. The detargetting and multiple characters makes it all overwhelming, and by the time they detect the real you they are already dead.

Now, I don’t have much experience in late competitive/skilled play, but I’m assuming this changes with time, experience and effort.

To sum up, it’s the Mesmer’s unique clone ability that confuses them and the fact they need to keep targeting the real one that makes new players frustrated when they play against one.

If only the clones moved and weren’t made out of hard spaghetti noodles.

I agree, losing the current functionality of this trait would make it simply not worth taking.

Agreed that some of the steal skills are really kitten awful, worst of the lot is the Engineer’s.

Throw Gunk isn’t all that bad, you can leap through it for some chaos armor.

we have a skill that reset phantasm recharge

Uh, what skill would that be? If you’re talking about Signet of Illusions it resets our shatters. Although I think you’re on to something here.

How about we request for that signets active to be changed to resetting phantasm skills on one weapon and increasing the cooldown a bit?

we have a skill that reset phantasm recharge, putting this on will result in a mass invi 3 iduelist cheese combo.

Not gonna happen.

I don’t see the issue with spending 5 seconds wasting a 35s CD and a CD that would likely be higher on some easily dodged/interrupted (5 seconds of cast time) burst.

I only think it’s an annoying skill because it’s a combo attack right off the bat, it creates the field and immediately launches a physical projectile. I’m not a fan of skills being able to combo off themselves.

It’s under notes labeled “2.”

I like traps how they are, they don’t require me to go out of my way to get hit in the face to activate and can be used in many ways instead of just one.

edit: several is too many

The hammer needs to be removed, then the map would be playable. I can’t even attempt to keep the other team off the hammer, because it’s always a Mesmer or Engineer on it.
