(b* .*)b all thumbs up.
Just went on your mesmer guide site. One word…….Awesome.
@Asurmir ^ This or anything like it.
If conjures worked like engi kits….. I would be a happy fellow. They may still need a buff but overall I’d be happy.
One can only hope….
It doesn’t (earth 4 to clear that up) but its still awesome. I usually play s/d but with the RTL nerf might as well roam with a focus :I. Straight up d/d s/d burst is higher but the utility/damage mitigation of the focus makes it just as viable imo.
I like how these builds incorporate a different approach to dps but wouldn’t mist form still be invaluable (especially in a team fight) due to invul stomps and resses
With RTL nerf….

Build for spvp and 1v1/mess around. Alternative is 0/20/0/20/30 for that evasive or ele surge (focus is good i tell ya….outside of fire 4)
For a team fight

Purpose of being cc/util/off node “boom” guy (dat focus)
As someone who alts mesmer I honestly think deceptive evasion needs an internal cooldown of 2-3 sec. As it stands now re-cloning after a shatter burst is too easy. Shatters need to come with higher risk. Just my opinion nothing serious.
They could have made RTL distance shorter if crippled and chilled. 40 second cool down when not hitting a target is such poor design I don’t even know where to start.
The opposite. Ele’s have traits dedicated to deal with movement conditions (33% reduction of cripple, chill, im) as well as remove chill on dodge, not to mention the extensive amount of condition removals. a change like this would have had gone unnoticed, making it pointless.
I’ve been fighting S/F Ele.. you seem him constantly taking on 2v1 3v1 and killing people. this makes you think.. maybe ele’s had way better builds all along, but they never bother to look for them.. the idea that 1 class revolves around 1 skill is poor design, and all those people making petitions to boycot or delete the class prove it
^
People do not give the focus enough credit. Outside of fire 4 that thing is just as deadly as any x/d.
Go Asura and don’t look back.
lol I can understand where your coming from. I say this mostly because I’ve been playing with 30 air recently. :P
It’s not a bug.
Pet/ Minion/Mob AI was buffed not too long ago so that they continue attacking as soon as stealth drops.
What if A-net replaced the number 11 air GM trait tempest defense-
“Surround yourself with a Shocking Aura when disabled (fear, stun, daze, knockback, knockdown, launch, float, sink.) This effect can only trigger once every 90 seconds.”
with a new GM trait that removed the 40 sec non target debuff on RTL and maybe in addition lowered the cool down from 20 sec to 15 sec.
Would you go for it?
………
I would :T
