I would like someone to show the documented truth that Mesmers are dealing out more damage than other classes.
A Mesmer was my first character, after researching what people thought of as a “bad” class, and I’ve found it to be one of the most pleasing classes to play now that I’ve been through all of the other classes. They have great survivability. However, that comes with a need to know some gaming basics; i.e. Don’t stop moving,; Use “All” of the skills you’ve spec’d into; etc. etc. etc…
Anet shouldn’t be asked to nerf a class because it has unique skills. They chose to put that unique twist into each class, in one respect or another. Keep in mind that next month there’ll be another class under the microscope because 1-2 people found a new way to “exploit” – I use the term in both light and heavy terms – a skill and/or situation, which will ultimately result in The Masses screaming for another nerf. Thus the world turns.
We all have three choices for any situation; Influence, Accept, or Remove. Too many people choose to influence before even considering the other options.
