Guild Wars 2

Things i would like to see to make Mesmer more viable for dps without to large effect on 1v1 potential

-Aoe cap on sword 3>5 on the #1 and #2 skills
-Retal on blurr frenzy is dumb remove it :P
-Self shatter gives might with trait (would buff 1v1 shatter too but this just makes sense)
-Some changes to Gs #3 doesnt have to be that big jsut a change
-a buff to a offhand on the Mesmer they all suck for Aoe suggest something like torch offhand ’s phantasm explodes on death
-Null field unblockable

not the biggest differences but some that would be nice to have.

I think the biggest misconception is not many people actually look into what a PU Mesmer is and their only experience with it is fighting which teaches you the strengths but not so much the weaknesses. In all honesty i don’t think Condi PU is that strong anymore, why? because people played against it over and over and realized after the first 100 cheeses its not that bad anymore it was a new meta that was just annoying, i don’t think any of the Nerfs helped with this just purely peoples play style. So atm there is the new thing of Power PU which is coming out which is basically the counter to ALL power builds in this game in a 1v1 scenario yes i agree this is faceroll build but atleast after a week i can already see it has huge condi removal problems(have fun with rune of the krait :P)

its actually suprisingly easy, the trick is they do decent damage over time as you try to attack them so the best thing to do is ONLY attack in bursts when all or most of your cooldowns are up. PU cant actually put that much preasure on you unless u are trying to kill them so only make trades that u come out on top for example burst which u win, so burst kite burst kite and repeat if u fight with the right mindset it makes it alot easier.

ok as a mesmer i feel like alot of you ware not actually looking at how traits work but instead reading the trait and thinking “oh if i had that trait it would be op” no u gotta realise that u have to give up things for these traits and in almost all situations ALL traits to all classes are useless and not worth giving up current ones, yes even warrior…

For example
•Domination: Power Block : Yes strong for a interupt mesmer which is becoming popular atm and very potent BUT its 30 in first trait line and most run 20/20/30/0/0 and therefore to get this trait u must give up either Chaotic intteruption which is the bread and butter of this build so kitten giving that or deceptive evasion which is a big blow and will make it so much easier to kill overall not worth it.

•Dueling: Triumphant Distortion : only realy effects wvw and not duels so no need to cry ,this one actually fits kinda. i agree this is OP trait but will it make wvw mesmers op no, because there weak so 2/40 in a zerg will have this u wont feel a single bit of change + its a snowball skill only works if your scrubs rallybot.

•Chaos: Bountiful Disillusionment : looks nice on the outside but is completly in a random spot, common shatter build : 20/20/0/0/30 and therefore damage lost for using this is dumb and in no way worth it. Maybe if it was some sort of aoe boons for the team could be good support in roaming but for duels useless.

•Inspiration: Disruptor’s Sustainment : very intresting and weird but guess what once again does not fit interupt build at all but could well be used for a phantasm build which is the only reason you would go into this trait line

•llusions: Maim the Disillusioned : and final no, just no not giving up my Illusionary Persona for this kitten + even though it is condition based no condi mesmers will go for this or they give up PU or DE which is good for u if they do. so be happy its a noob trap

So overall that was way to long and dumb but mesmers didnt get kitten either in all reality no one got anything just like the new heals everyone thought the others got op ones and thought theirs was dumb and look now bearly any of those new heals is used

That early april fools joke totaly got me

The only way to do damage in a zerg fight with mesmer is shatter spikes but is hard to play for the average player and will still not do as much damage as a ele or necro with full zerker, gl mesmers i feel your pain.

Hey, sorry to continue the argument and it would be nice to stop but there is a huge diffrence between a pug blob and a guild blob. we never said to not blob and for our servers lets be honest thats imposiable, BUT 50 people form 1 guild isnt nesisary and just ruins it for others just keep that in mind please.
