I’m going to assume the people here are veterans.
To all veteran players, calm down and think about what we have at the moment. What do we have that no new players have? Experience? Maybe. But what puts us at a significant amount of advantage due to our overwhelming amount of game time? The answer is GOLD. Not only do we have an excess of gold by now, we also have full knowledge of the richest gold farming spots that no other new player has knowledge of. This might be useless in the HoT value debate but consider this: HoT is available in the gem store. What does this mean? It means it’s worth gems and where can we get gems? By converting all our gold/karma/t6 mats to gems. Effectively we have a means of getting HoT at ZERO value as well…and we have a head start.
Why is this a reliable method? Well the price of the original GW2 (core game) is now ZERO. What this means is that future copies of GW2 is now being sold as GW2:HoT meaning that you can obtain a digital upgrade for approximately(?) 2500gems (or less if you wait for a sale). I am not denying that this move is shocking, but there is a way around it. Furthermore IF in the time that you have played the game you are still unwilling to invest in this amount of time to amass such a fortune, you probably won’t have the time to further invest in future developments of HoT (in which case your money and time is wisely spent elsewhere).
IMO I’m going to wait for gem prices to drop before investing in HoT…I think 6 months is a safe bet.
So the illusions trait line is now about confusion upkeep…where’d all the shatter play move to? Glad there’s another option for Control instead of PU now though. That Ineptitude trait is going to hurt a lot more on dual swords…we might see a lot more swordplay now.
Shatter play is all over the trees. Though Illusions still has a shatter option in each tier. They literally squished 4 shatter traits into a Grandmaster and made an old Grandmaster base line :P
IMO illusions is currently the go to trait line for shattering…but now that it’s about conditions and control (and IP is baseline) there seems to be less rewards for shattering as opposed to playing an interupt or PU build. Shatter seems less like a playstyle and more like a fanciful mechanic…or maybe this is a hint towards future development of shatter in other forms??

Hi i’m a returning NA mesmer with a slightly better than average set of skills and i’m looking for a nice guild to have fun with. I’m looking for a guild without an inner circle and welcomes everybody. It doesn’t need to be hardcore since I’m already in a hardcore WvW guild (which i will represent during WvW raids unless i’m only playing with your guild) and I’m happy to help raise up people to become stronger players, especially on the SoS servers. Whether it’s dungeon runs, fractals, JPs or plain exploring, I’m pretty confident in being a strong fighting force for your guild. Additionally I can command small scale squads on WvW (5- 10 man parties) provided you have a chatting platform (typing can be done but it’ll be a lot slower to respond to surprise zergs). Personally I enjoy being in a guild where everyone comes running just to help one member even if there are no rewards for me…and I also enjoy helping people gear up!
Please understand that I cannot promise to be 100% rep especially in WvW unless you’re a strong, reputable guild in the SoS server because I need the trust in other people to command small squads to do as much damage to the other servers as possible. Other than that, I look forward to being in your care!
