Hi, i’m a new player in the spanish server, just bought the game this weekend, and i’d like to ask a few questions, if you don’t mind.
I still believe the funniest char i have played in ANY mmo (And i played around two dozens of them), was GW1’s mesmer. I had a disruption one, with cancels in every single slot (and the refresher elite), and it was so fun to fight off every single enemy, as they got damage for attacking, casting an spell, or doing anything that I didn’t want to
So my first question is: Is there any way of reproducing such a build (the “nope” build as i named it) in GW2?
Secondly… i realised that, despite clones offering a nice way of fighting, they are super-weak, getting two shot most of the time, and dealing single-digit damage, while my sword flurry tecnique makes me invincible for 2.5s and slashes everyone around for a total of 200 or so. Thus, i’m not satisfied. I chose to play a mesmer, a char that is supposed to deceive the enemy, making them ask themselves who to attack, and getting punished for choosing the wrong target. Somehow, i feel i’m playing a warrior. Why should i worry about micromanaging my clones, exploding them and creating new ones while using my switch spell, when my basic attacks deal more damage than 3 of them detonating at the same time? Will this change at higher levels? Will i be able to have more than 3 clones/phantasms, or have at least one that can actually do stuff? (the phantom duelist is the only one that actually deals damage)
Lastly… i’ll appreciate any tips and tricks you experienced players want to share with me ^^.
Thanks!
