gellor…OH GELLORRRRRRRRR….jus droppin in to say hey : ) looks like you guys are well on your way to tier 1.

They’ll need JQ to implode first so there is a vacant spot in T1. No way they’re getting past T2 in their current form. http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#NA

TC and FA have become the salty old gatekeepers of T1. Better bring a whole lot of momentum to get past us!

Pretty much. Between TC/FA, and glicko, DB’s gonna be here for a long while. If JQ stabilizes, most likely forever until one of the T2 servers slip down. Mag is gaining in glicko, so the stakes are high. And creeping back u kitten ea of Sorrows, who may see T3 action soon too. It could go quite a few ways. :o

Welcome to DB – Omen Gaming Community! [OMEN]

all aboard the bandwagon, choo choo.

Don’t hate. Hopefully they’re an NA prime guild. DB could use more help during that timeframe. More fun fights for everyone.

Welcome to T2!

I’m not being hateful, i’m calling it what it is.

Ok. Hope you have fun losing another week in Tier 2

Actually, were winning in T2 right now. Not in total score, but in glicko gained. That’s the number that actually matters. This is why you guys most likely wont ever see tier 1 from your own efforts. The competitiveness of T2 simply won’t allow you to get enough glicko. Someone from T1 has to drop down instead.

Getting a bit crowded on the Dragonbrandwagon ain’t it?

1) It’s commonly known as Dragonwagon. Not Dragonbrandwagon.
2) Dragonbrand is climbing the ranks because of good players. You can have a full server and still lose a WvW match. Quality over Quanitity.
3) See you soon.

I don’t think you guys will be climbing any more ranks. You’re currently losing glicko, not gaining it.

I get this feeling that DB will be in T2 longer then they intended. Between the competition and glicko, no one is going to T1 unless one of those servers drop.

Well… lets see what happens on 14may. They did say that it would be a bug fixing patch not a balancing patch… Let us hold them to that statement.

keep dreaming lol won’t happen. 14th arrives and their statement is: We’re still looking into izerker and hopefully find the solution to fix the bug in the patches to come.

Well thank god we mesmers haven’t given up on pestering them for an update… But they could just as easily ignore the forums and continue nerfing us… PVP crowd is trying to get blurred frenzy killed now.

rofl blurred frenzy kill. I thought mind wrack would be our next ‘kill’ -.- this is just sad because i bet both will be nerfed in the next 6 months.

Mind wrack was ninja nerf’d, if you look at your the attack damage with mind wrack you’ll noticed it’s a flat rate damage now and doesn’t scale up with the more clones you have.

I have yet to notice this as a shatter mesmer. I can still do AA+ Mirror Blade then dodge shatter and kill most normal mobs at 80. I still notice 3500-4500 per shatter in high end content too under good conditions. A big part of shatter damage is compounding power. It’s important to get a precise shatter rather then a sloppy one.

I am excited for SoR and T1 to have some serious balance but be forewarned SoR…your past may come back to haunt you…

P.S. Please fix arrow cats so I have interest in playing WvW again ANET.

i am too r intruiged of the past your sayinn ….pls do tell…

He’s talking about Noodles.

Yea, DB is going to need to get alot more than the current 1 they are gaining atm to break into tier 1.

Yeah. I feel sorry for the people there who thought they’d just stack on DB and shoot to T1. Glicko and the other T2 servers simply won’t let that happen so easily. Funny thing is, all it takes is 1 off week to wipe all that progress too. They may burn themselves out before they even break 2100. With the competitiveness of this tier now, I don’t see anyone moving up or down for a long time.

Female human mesmer.

And they are most likely wearing some T3 cultural armor, Arah shoulders, and maybe wielding anomaly.

I can’t go anywhere without seeing these “clones”, seriously get some uniqueness.

I see more Sylvari/Asura Mesmers going the purple route, not so much human female mesmers. I’m a human female mesmer myself, and this is what I’ve observed. A lot of mesmers go for the thematic look though sadly.

That’s rather low to be honest. My Illusionsary Warlock has hit 70k in one hit, and I’ve hit 140k or so with a full 4 shatter combo (no vulnerability, some might). You should be doing wayyy more.

Warriors bring too much

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Aylaine.1036

Aylaine.1036

Mesmers are brought for Feedback and Time Warp. Period. If they had neither, nobody would bring them, because their sustained DPS is actually pretty bad.

I believe this depends on the spec. A properly played shatter mesmer can have decent DPS, and amazing burst every 10 seconds, not to mention if its a 20/20 build, 25 vulnerability stacks on the boss. I can see a phantasm mesmer struggling with certain fights and DPS, but I’ve never had problems doing damage on my shatter mesmer in high level fractals or tough dungeons. Hell, sometimes I pull aggro from guardians and warriors.

I do agree on what you said otherwise though. Reflection/Time Warp and portal/nullfield are our mainstays. I don’t even feel this is a mesmer issue, I think its the way the content is designed: it caters to professions that can reflect or mitigate a lot of damage rather then removing conditions or doing other strategic mechanics. As long as reflection is required or nearly required to get past nasty bosses like the Grawl Fractal at higher levels, or Archdiviner’s spin attack, or any other nasty attack that can be reflected, people will want mesmers and guardians to negate that.

Either give every class some kind of party wide reflection or tone it down on the content that caters to it. Add more medium HP bosses with nasty conditions please. Condition removal/reversing would bring more classes into a good place in my opinion.

Rumor Mill #9999: Some people in DB were trying to grab guilds from JQ of all places. Obviously just a rumor, but imagine the kittenstorm if it ends up being true? Next on Fox News.

Dat T1 Applesauce. If this is true, why are you guys in such a rush? T2 Applesauce is good too, it just takes time baby… being serious though, I hope Lani sorted that out or got some info. I follow these threads a lot, and I doubt DB’s core would tolerate that kind of behavior.

Nerf blurred frenzy?

in PvP

Posted by: Aylaine.1036

Aylaine.1036

If it were to be nerfed, keep it in PvP please. Mesmers lack a lot of the defensive abilities that other classes can afford in my opinion. Our evades are pretty much all we have, and we only have 2. Distortion is on 45cd minimum, and BF is either used offensively or defensively. Here’s a thought: force the mesmer to use it, then start doing your damage after? I think each class has a way to soak up or avoid/mitigate lots of damage, whether it be a heal or an evade/block or anything else like that. Should we nerf all of those abilities too?

I think BF is fine personally, as you can stunbreak out of it’s obvious incoming and negate the mesmers entire burst right then and there. If you’re not taking a stunbreak to get out of a skill you obviously know you need to get out of, then that’s entirely on you.

Our Guild Stash has been emptied

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Aylaine.1036

Aylaine.1036

A player has stolen every item in our guild stash and he has left our guild after that. Is there anything we can do to recover all our stash?

It wasn’t a very good stash (yellow 40-45 lvl items primarily), but it was our resource for new guild members.

On the other hand, I think guild should be allowed to control the number of items each player can get each day.

P.S.: Of course, although I know his name, I’m not going to put it here.
P.S.: Sorry for my english.

I’m sorry to hear about your loss, but this is a tough lesson to learn. I had to learn it on other MMO’s. How many rares were stolen? I’d like to donate a couple or some gold if it would help.

I’d like to see it changed to something like guardian hammer 2, a leap aoe. That way you can be sure it will hit properly, it retains its aoe, and the numbers can be easily balanced.

We kinda already have a phantasm that leaps though.

Has anyone ever hit 34k damage?

in Mesmer

Posted by: Aylaine.1036

Aylaine.1036

Nope. Highest I’ve hit was 23k with a full mindwrack/mindstab combo, after 3 daze shatters + mirror blade. Was in PvE, but that still counts. If daze shatters are used, and crits are lucky/compounding power is properly abused, I’m sure s/s or s/x mesmers could do way more damage then that. BF does quite a bit if all hits crit with high stats.

DPS and Meters

in Suggestions

Posted by: Aylaine.1036

Aylaine.1036

A meter would be a nice addition.
But:
1. Make meters for
a. Direct DPS
b. Damage taken – Tank
c. Healing given
e. Condition damage
f. Conditions removed
g. Interrupts applied
h. Number of times a player got downed
f. Number of times a player rezzed another player
x. Some more stats

I think the title is wrong and because of that, many players are afraid and do not want this kind of feature.

Even if we no not have a dedicated dps, tank or healer, some stats would be nice to see where everyone excels at.

I might want to be a dedicated healer, so I will gear up for best healing.
I would like to know if I am good at that.
The same goes for DPS, tanking and all other stats.

It is not ALL about DPS.

This would be okay with me, but I had a small addition I would make: make a score UI instead. At the end of the dungeon, everyone sees these values, like a RTS game or games that score/keep track of numerics for gameplay. I wouldn’t like seeing DPS meters in game, being a full berserker mesmer myself. people in here have expressed why and I agree with them. It promotes elitism mid way/during the content that the party wants to experience/advance from. If you display it at the end, I think that would be alright in my opinion. I’d love to see what classes are doing what since ht can be hard to tell in the thick of battle sometimes. If you list all the combat mechanics this way, then it will be balanced out.

Just my 2c.

The 4 hits do not always happen if the IZerker is far away from the target it might only get 1 strike in because the animation generates 4 attacks. Saying it only hit a static target 3 times doesn’t really tell the whole story. Hundred blades or whirrlwind on great sword are similar. Each attack has a size and facing and timing and those things determine if a hit occurs.

Thanks for the update Jon, but I would urge you to check up on the iZerker again as multiple people have confirmed that something went wrong with it after the 26th of february patch.

So I would really appreciate it if you could check it out again because there’s definitely something not working as intended. And even if this behaviour was intentional (like with the Ranger SB ‘animation fix’) we would also appreciate it if you just come out and tell us instead of making stuff up as your customers are going to find out anyway (like with the Ranger SB ‘animation fix’).

Thanks!

(Or, give Mesmers a Mainhand Pistol and I’ll be too happy to complain about anything)

As far as we know something did go wrong. We can’t reliably get it to display all of he damage floaters, but we have tried to test if the damage is lower or it just doesn’t hit and we have never seen that error I our debug setup which shows attack areas. I may try and make a bad pic tomorrow to show what I mean.

Could you do that please?

I did some testing earlier, and often 3 bleeds were being applied, but sometimes 2. Out of my 200 or so uses, 1 bleed was the lowest. Not a huge number, but yeah. I can’t tell if it’s doing it’s pre bug damage though. Are there any plans to add phantasm damage to the combat log? Or could you give me a level 80 monster’s exact HP, so I can at least narrow down how much my berserker is doing?

I appreciate you posting though.

I said the same thing on the mesmer forums so I’ll say it here:

Other classes need to be brought to the mesmers level of usability. Revamp their elites/utilities so they have worthwhile abilities to bring to a party, to the degree of people saying ‘’ya man, go get your necro, we need this ability for this dungeon’’. In my opinion, Necro lacks way too much for the Deathshroud mechanic that they get in return. They need a reflection skill (main reason people want guardians/mesmers in high fractals) as well as a good group elite that benefits the entire party at high levels of play.

Currently they don’t offer a whole lot in the utility/supporty area in my opinion, still I love seeing necros and playing with them as I have no class bias. But other people definitely do. Sounds like you have some of those people with you unfortunately. If they give each class something unique they can bring to a party on a group scale, I believe this will be a much easier playing field.

Shoot, let necros summon a wall of souls to reflect projectiles for 10 seconds. Boom, that’d be a step in the right direction. Currently, classes are a bit too separate in what they can do, and the gameplay/mechanics only adhere to a few of those. Reflection/absorption/aegis, boon ripping, and mob skipping. Mesmer does all of those very well. Every class should have some form of AoE reflection in my opinion, that way any class would be welcome in high level fractals where PVT isn’t king, but reflection/absorption is. Then, give them meaningful group elites that are similar to time warp.

Until this happens, I feel that the class playing field will cater to certain classes sadly.
