Helseth’s on his last twitch stream :-)
You obviously missed his comments on his last stream before he left haha.
Cheers, very similar except I am taking DE instead of Mistrust.
Sorry to Rez an old thread but related, has anyone worked out a viable condi perplexity Chronomancer build yet, I am mucking around with Ineptitude, Rabid condi build, with sceper / shield.
Sorry I missed the action last night, just moved house and Internet isn’t connected yet, the thing I have always enjoyed reading your posts Ross, is your innovation, and willingness to try new things. Still looked like a fun night., like the old saying goes “you don’t rise to the occasion, you sink to the level of your training”. I think with more Scrims and better TS coordination a lot of new builds that can be successful will come to lght.
Wow, for someone who purports to “main” a Mesmer in your signature, you are way off the reservation mate…
Thanks for your patience last night :-) a lot different to WvW haha, I enjoyed the experience, hopefully I contributed a little, definitely keen to do this again. Watching myself in that last video I saw a lot of gameplay I can improve on.
What are you using as your off set? Still Sword/Focus, or trying traited Pistol Now?
Kudos Robert, I have kept the faith since the 1st Beta, and suffered (not quietly) through the nerfs. Thanks for the thought and time you spent making Mesmer fresh and reinvigorated. Love PB, just bring back Blackout haha, thanks for starting this thread Chaos.
At Toxsa, WvW Pirate Ship meta called, they want to remind you that all the OP Necro’s says hi…
Mesmer build options and effectiveness have been so consistently kitten for so long that when they’re suddenly something else…you have no idea how to react.
Sorry to rain on your parade, but Mesmer requiring 10x more effort to accomplish what everyone else could do didn’t make it better or more fun…it just made it non-meta and aggravating to play. Now we’re getting a reward more appropriate to the effort we put in, and some deluded mesmers are asking for nerfs. It boggles the mind.
You can’t scream for buffs all the time and then turn around and ask for nerfs after you get buffed. Stupid threads like this are one of the reasons mesmers never get nice things.
^ This, after facing unneeded nerf after nerf, we are finally back where we should be, no other class has face the level of single minded persecution that Mesmer has. What should happen is that all loyal Mesmer players should take a leaf out of the whingers here, go to another classes forums and all make post after post, bleat after bleat, thread after thread about that class and cry for nerfs… Pathetic really, a lot of the people who cry here are all recent Mesmer players who have no idea about the struggle and skill it took to excel at Mesmer, and have enjoyed the face roll of classes such as Thief, guess what, not once have the majority of loyal Mesmers calls for nerfs, we just adapted, improvised and overcame, not because it was fair, but because we just manned up and did it. I for one hope there are no nerfs, and everyone dries their princes eyes and cry yourselves to sleep on your kitten shaped pillows.

Thanks picked up an invite the other night.
Stop feeding the troll.
Hi all, coming back after an absence, was formally in [OMFG], would appreciate another invite.

Bump, still chasing that invite :-)
Illya/Lyssa for Pistol and the Chaos Torch.
Buy both ;-) I prefer The Anomoly, but mix it up every now and again, seeing as how transmuting skins is so easy.

Pathetic really, never seen a company so intent on listening to the minority whiners, soon all builds will be the same, look at Revenant, great profession no choice in building it, Choose a weapon, choose two legends, and traits is the only option to specialise, stop dumbing the game down ANET please, for every step you move foward, it’s a massive step back and failure to listen to your player base.
Ross would you mind sharing your build/equipment?
Cheers.
Someone been watching Helseth’s video “mesmer not viable, I am”.
Fosters is the kitten beer we export…
@Ansau, great video mate, thanks for sharing.
@BlackDevil, any chance of a quick trait break down? I have been experimenting a lot lately and am running very similar build to Ansau, always interested to see what others are having suceed in the zerg with.
Cheers.
Jang, Ssaoul and Chicken from [WM] Just Taiwan Man [WvW] And more recently Hardtankz [DD]
What bow skin is that?
Bring them back in all their awesomeness and allow Mesmers to finally contribute meaningfully again to the zerg.
The worst days are behind us, we lost 2 X major exodus of WvW Guilds, we are on the mend, what we need is the ability to be competitive around the clock and people who are willing to stay and not get frustrated and leave when things are tough. Great community and friendly people.
A) Search is your friend, you will find both builds and videos using this technique; &
B) Try post a build if how you would do it then ask for fine tuning advice, comes across as lazy to expect people to do you work for you, especially when option “a” is available and not used.
Just my opinion.
Sorry to hear, the greatest fun I had in game was with [WM] and if kitten real life commitments hadn’t interfered I would never have left. Best wishes and hope to see you return one day.
Where’s the down vote button so we can erase trash threads like this… It’s like arguing with a kitten, they will drag you down to their level then beat you, let us down vote and make these threads disappear.
Blackout
Power Block
Awesome guide mate, really appreciate the contents and the time you spent putting it together, have learnt a lot.
Nice work as usual, always enjoy the videos. Keep them coming.
I miss all or nothing skills like Blackout, and being able to see my opponents skill activation to time my interrupts, that being said two completely different games, I revisit GW1 from time to time, but I’m still playing Mesmer main in GW2 it’s just a refreshing change.
Nice video Joe, you definitely entertain with each one.
Haha shame on me Pyro, get it added then :-)
Well constructed and well presented post Pyro, should get this added to the Mesmer Guide, if it isn’t already, haven’t checked it in a while.
+1 Ross Biddle’s The Holy Hell (Advanced Scout), tested in WvW, strong performer.
What Ross said.
Well that sux, will test again tonight.
No idea about that, but I run Doom/Torment once I have a full set of stacks on my hybrid condi build. I just think it’s extra pressure with my ~50% crit chance.
This.
20 – V – Crippling Dissipation & VIII – Confusing Enchantments
20 – I – Far Reaching Manipulations & X – Deceptive Evasion
0
20 – II – Glamour Mastery & IX – Temporal Enchanter
10 – V – Master of Misdirection
Full Rabid, Perplexity Runes, Ether Feast, Null Field, Feedback, Blink, Time Warp.
Greatsword/sword/focus, traditionalists will cry about no staff or sceptre in a condition build, however high precision allows good crit chance to trigger Sigil of Torment on Greatsword reliably, Sigil of Corruption and Doom on other set, IZerker is great for people/siege on walls.
Run this solo and you will be eaten, only good for zerg, tags heaps, lots of bags.
Nice builds and videos Ross.
Nice video, as always, welcome back.
Whiners are the bane of this game, people should just wake up and either learn to play or leave, it’s been constant, whine, get a nerf, look for something else, bleat again. Just look at the history of the class.
If I get beat, two things happen, I log onto the forums of that class, explore the builds, log onto my character of that proffession and try the build, I then think of its weaknesses, then I find some people to duel on my original class and get better. Easy mode is to sit in your porcelain tower and only play one class; cry when you lose, never learn as a player and call for nerfs.
1. Blink/Feedback/Null Field – Offensive
2. Blink/Portal/Veil – Support
3. Blink/Arcane Thievery/Decoy – Small Group/Roaming
20 – V – Crippling Dissipation & VIII – Confusing Enchantments
20 – I – Far Reaching Manipulations & X – Deceptive Evasion
0
20 – II – Glamour Mastery & IX – Temporal Enchanter
10 – V – Master of Misdirection
Full Rabid, Perplexity Runes, Ether Feast, Null Field, Feedback, Blink, Time Warp.
This is as close to Kylias old Glamour build you can get, you will get eaten 1 v 1, only useful for Zerg play, he suggests Triforce, I think Perplexity makes this build viable, all your shatters cause confusion, High Precision from Rabid allows good crit rate, Glamours recharge faster and last longer, remove boons from zerg etc.
Then use badges and buy armor from vendor, they sell Rabid.
I use sup Sigil Torment, it works fine, Rune wise, some have had success using Sup Runes of Traveller, Undead & even Torment, I think even if they add an ICD to 6/6 for Perplexity it would still be my rune of choice for this build.
Farm dungeon tokens, buy off TP (Khilbrons Set), visit vendor in WvW and spend Badges of Honor or alternatively go to karma vendor in Orr.
