Guild Wars 2

I never post on forums but this kitten really got on me.
Fractals is almost the only thing that keeps me playing GW2, why on earth Anet doesnt let me play high fractals.Not because the CRAP loot, we dont get legendaries every run kitten Why do u ruin the fun of ppl that want a challenge ( this game is so ez mode..) when they don’t do ANY harm. Instead of raising cap of 80 (u can bugfix and do it in one evening), no lets hardcap at 50 i dont see any logic there.

What i’m left now in pve? Sucky dungeons? DR Farm? Daily?

Angry level 80 mesmer.

For pve i like more GS (more dmg), for pvp staff(more surv).

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

Lava shaman: despite you help a lot with the shield you if you are focused by the boss you just die fast.

The higher you go the more your just gonna get one shotted anyways. Killing things faster is always better, just learn to see the moves and dodge them. Mesmer is one of the best classes in the game at dodging damage.

You think a war or guard with full PWR/TGH/VIT armor survives any better than one with GC armor in the higher fractals? the answer is nope.

I would also like to point out here if you get focused with agony arrow and you didn’t dodge… Just hit F4 or use blurred Frenzy. Negates the whole attack.

I play a knight set ele also lvl 30….not even comparable…..despite i do lot less dmg than mesmer, and survivability skills are better on mesmer (save for the lack of healing), ele won’t be oneshot so easily.

And yes considering that with knight ele i have LESS defensive STATS than a GC warrior even the war won t be oneshot.

A thing is dying to a warrior burst in ascalon….another is getting oneshot by rangers.

p.S. it seems few players can get the difference between “reaction” and “prediction”…
Its quite hard to use blurred frenzy on “reaction”, having half sec casting time.

The thing on ascalon is to no get aggro.U have an army of charrbros for a reason :P

lvl 71 (in fractals) full zerker mesmer here.Most of the times im the last man standing,

Play style is get in with dodge then leap and blurred frenzy (2 sec inv) then dodge away and range wiyh gs or staff.Rinse and repeat.

U have F4 (more inv) and Decoy (Stealth that drop targets) if things goes wrong.
So if somehow after combo u got caught u can distort -> decoy and gtfo.
I dont have any problems surviving at high fractals fractals.
I only die when skipping mobs and forgot to equip focus or somehow my team passes and i get all the baddies agro on me (high mobility class? yeah…)

And we have awesome utilities for fractals:
TW in all of them (v fast rezz & uber dps):

Ice : feeback elementals, portal before when boss tp team
Shaman : feedback, illusion of life, interrupts on throw rocks phase
Colossus : null field awesome
Ascalon: TW charr army
Dredge : Feedback is awesome here on trash mobs and dredge boss, null field to strip
boons from trash kitten.Veil + mass inv for running bombs.
Swamp: portal, feedback on bloomhunger
Water: this thing is easy anyway :p
Uncategorized: feedback, warden, and on last boss pull with temporal curtain

And yeah u can negate agony ticks (except jade maw) with any sort of inv in the case of mesmer with BF or F4.

Not to mention that illusions are allways a distraction for bosses → less attacks on mates.

Mesmer imho is second to guardian in usefulness in fractals.
