Guild Wars 2

Zexion do you mean on Tribulation Mode? I’m finding it impossible on TM but easy as hell normally, I think everyone else is assuming it’s standard mode.

It’s pretty simple: A Mesmer’s greatsword is their long range weapon.

That might confuse you, surely a Greatsword is a melee weapon(!!), till I blow your mind with the next data drop.

….

Mesmers are magic.

Please God do this, Permenant Finisher style.

Along with a VIABLE #3 or #4.

personally i’ll say that berserker is not the best choice for fotm.

This from a berserker mesmer ._.
I am currently 16 with mesmer and 30 with ele.

In most parts surviving is the best thing and nobody cares of dps…. there are no wp in fotm…

Fractals level 34 here. You are very wrong.

DPS is still very important in high level fractals. In addition as you go higher dodging and damage mitigation ends up much more important than just absorbing everything on your gear, making all glass cannons fairly viable as long as your skill level can keep pace. Finally, as you’ll read on these forums we Mesmers are one of the most Glass Cannon friendly professions available due to the huge and varying damage mitigation skills we have, many of which require little investment. We’re talking Blurred Frenzy, Chaos Armor, Chaos Storm, Distortion, Feedback, Phantasmal Warden, Traited Temporal Curtain and 2 block skills. Combine a reasonable portion of those with well timed dodges and maybe even some vigor options and you’re looking at a Glass Cannon Mesmer staying up throughout just about every Fractal scenario at pretty high levels, while not murdering their DPS.

In addition the Svanir stage is great for Mesmers, reflects, Phantasms that can tackle the Elemental source constantly and massive confusion damage on the Svanir Shaman. The Grawl Shaman also is a spot where we shine, I quite often go through without downing, with high mobility to kite Elementals, reflection to severely slash the Shaman’s DPS and the aforementioned lotsa damage mitigation. Any Mesmer who has problems here, assuming it’s not because all their teammates are dying and they’re the last Bookah standing, is most likely not watching and dodging the Shaman’s Agony Arrow, or tackling the Elementals poorly.

Level 31

1 – Aquatic (But longer and more boring than Swamp)
2 – Swampland
3 – Ascalon
4 – Snowblind
5 – Underground Facility
6 – Cliffside (Post fix)
7 – Uncategorized (Without cheating)
8 – Volcano

Need this please.

I’ve done this Path twice and never suffered this issue. It’s annoying but the sure fire way is just to figure out who the NPC is following and leave them in the Spider/Crystal spawning room. Thus the NPC can’t die in the fire. The boss is easy enough even missing 1 and it’s yet to fail for me, door opened both times.

Hell you don’t even have to do all these great ideas. I couldn’t get them to work (I’ll try again now), so the two times I’ve fought Korga now we just kited the adds and focused on here. Pretty much a graveyard zerg. They only attack in melee range so as long as you’re watching for Korga’s charge you can just run around in circles and dps Korga.

Slow and annoying though.

Full support from me. I’ve been eager for this since day one.

Reading the penultimate paragraph.

“Ominously, Medina warned us that the karka were actually only in the game because they’d been driven from their deep-sea homes by an even larger, more powerful threat. What could be powerful enough to drive out an entire race of level 80 creatures? Guess we’ll have to wait and see.”

Sounds like a certain Elder Dragon is going to make an appearance/be indirectly revealed, either this event or shortly after. Also if this has been noted etc then EXCUSE ME. And props to this article for being the best written regarding the LA event itself.

I thought at first it might’ve been a reveal event, but what with all the new details I doubt it. The update is very gameplay-focused, not lore-focused, and the Karka seem unique.

And to nitpick Karka doesn’t derive from Kraken but is an Indian, astrologically rooted term for Cancer, the Zodiac crab.

“I’m not going to shatter all these AMAZING Scepter clones, instead I shall keep them up so they can confuse and confound the enemy while the real me destroys him with Ether Bolt”

This actually looks really great, I would love to see this implemented.
