How about have scepter clones use the entire #1 chain but instead of summoning more clones they would inflict 1 stack of confusion? This brings back some condition damage into the #1, and the slow rate of the chain would prevent this from being OP.

I am in love with halting strike.

The mesmer rage is because bugs which have been around since beta are not getting fixed, we’re taking nerfs based on stuff that isn’t even working right yet like minor traits in the same line that over write each other and stuff like that. I think the nerfs would have gone over fine if they’d done anything to address anything that concerns mesmers desires. Notice that the mesmer patch changes are entirely about what everyone except mesmers wants while mesmers are waiting a month for some stupid bugfixes.

Also mesmers are the weakest pve class and nerfing our ability to benefit from events further is horrible. We already have to time these long cooldown abilities perfectly to tag mobs (literally 1 second either way and it fails) in events where the window of opportunity is maybe 1.5 times the cast time of a phantasm or ability to get credit. Nerfing this further is outright brutal.

I leveled my mesmer to 80, he’s more than half exotic but I dunno if I can bring myself to finish it while most of the builds I would play are underpowered or broken and I already feel like my value in 5 mans is iffy at best compared to any other class. I can’t set of loads of finishers and I can’t spam smoke and dark fields to set up those combos and my burst damage is limited.

No doubt shatter will have a nerf (though they’ll never fix the issues with clones not always getting there) soon.

Arena Net would rather pander to pvp whiners even though it’ll nerf an already underpowered class in pve than fix bugs. GG

Exactly this.

I think you’re right. I’m just tired of waiting for Mesmer bugs to get fixed. Had Anet taken any care to polish the class at all since beta people wouldn’t be so angered by this change, which, in all honesty, isn’t that big a deal.
