Guild Wars 2

Great news. +100% duration really was boring and cheap way to improve this trait. Not that it even needed improvements, IMO.

Every day is a Mesmer’s Day. Has, and always will be.

Happy Mesmer’s Day!

Should thank VoTF to be honest, for good or bad they have massively livened a matchup that would have been pretty routine without them.

And provided some entertainment in this thread.

If you actually know what you’re doing, just try to ignore the haters and trolls. But remember that just because you have a tag, doesn’t mean you’re always right and can’t take advice from others.

I haven’t really seen too much trolling or “bullying” towards PUG commanders on the servers I have played in. And if there has been harsh critique, the commander usually deserved it. For example PvE -commander tagging up in WvW and not knowing what the hell he’s doing.

I like the change to Mender’s Purity. But mesmers condition cleanse/manipulation should be looked at overall. Arcane thievery for example could use a cooldown reduction to 40s, and the cast time reduced completely.
Another cool trait for mesmers would be: “When you create a clone of yourself, you transfer one condition to that clone” with like 10 second cooldown. Mesmers like manipulating, so this would go well with our nature.

Also, I got kinda mixed feelings about Illusionists Celerity. It was obviously too pwerful as adept minor trait, and it was no biggie to take for any build.
Now that it requires 25 points into Illusions, many builds skip it because they can’t afford to go that deep.
However, as 15 point trait it’s gonna be very hard to pass and I fear many builds will start with 0/20/0/0/15 as base, to get 2 very significant traits.

In my opinion Illusionists Celerity should be removed completely, and the base cooldowns on some of our skills be lowered a bit to compensate.

Can’t remember the last time we had this good matchup! Had some good and tough fights with GH while solo roaming.
Special thanks to that charr Engi from [bau](i think) for good duels. You were almost as tough as Drakeco Dustslinger!
To all the whiners: It always seems that only your enemies use cheap tactics and blob etc. because you dont pay attention to your own server as much as your enemies. It’s bullpoo that only honest and “leet” players choose server X, and all the blobbing pathetic noob zerglings choose server Y.

I believe the root of all evil is +condition duration. WvW would be so much better place without food.

I mean, look at these lvl 80 foods:

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fancy_Truffle_Burger
+15% poison duration
+70 Precision

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Bowl_of_Fire_Meat_Chili
+15% burn duration
+70 precision

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Chocolate_Omnomberry_Cake
+15% chill duration.
+70 power

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Rare_Veggie_Pizza
+40% condition duration
+70 Condition Damage.

Doesn’t make any sense!

EXG is the biggest blobbing guild ever.

Lies.
Even our one man guilds can field so massive blobs, that NA servers would have skill lag.
Once our blob was so big, we d€rped through keep wall.

Top that, scrubs.

Putting aside the fact that it’s not a PU, nor a hybrid build. Looks more like a phantasm build.

Phantasmal Fury/Deceptive Evasion over Empowering Mantras. Outside of sword AA and Blurred Frenzy, you are not doing much damage and EM doesn’t affect your illusions damage.

Crippling Dissipation and Debilitating Dissipation are both good traits in this kinda build, but without DE you’re not getting much out of them.

…Wiki I just looked at it and I already knew these stuffs…

You already knew that stuff, and still posted false information?
