Guild Wars 2

yes,

need 15 characters minimun, lol

I actually went asura because i was thinking only asuras could be mesmers, lol!
but yeah, it fitted on perfectly xd

ConterK.3972:

he has a ~450(mayb more up to 600) AOE range of attack..

lol, no. Not even close. 1200 is the range on the staff, 900 is the range on the scepter, 600 is the range on illusionary leap, 300 is the range of a dodge roll, 130 is the range of blurred frenzy. Warden is somewhere around 200.

do some testings be4 posting, u’ll see

@Vladia
this isn’t gw1

people should really STOP asking for stuff that was in gw1, jesus
if u like gw1 so much and dislike gw2 so much, easy, go play gw1 then, seriously

mesmers have all that what you just said in the super long post you made, you (just like 90% of the other mesmer players here) have an immense problem of tunnel vision for skill usage and builds

Also, trident clones attack does bounce 3 times like mesmers normal attack, but just like our attack it has a shorter bounce range something around the ~500 range only

tidrent illusions bounce dont give any bons but they do apply 2 stacks of confusion instead of one if the attack bounce from you back to your enemy

the attack wont bounce on clones

Clones/phantams skills will show “out of range” message at max range (1200) even if the skill says it will work (no red bar beneath the skill)
u need to be somewhat around the ~1150ish range to succesfully summon the illusion

We can go on forever. You compared oranges to apples. But please go on insulting me.

@ConterK
“You realize blurred frenzy has a 130 range, right?”
And you realize Temporal Curtain has a range of 900, right ?

aaaaand,
i fail to realize what was your point with that comment

are you trying to say that u’r gonna use temp curtain to pull enemies towards you??
LOL

i’d love to see that,
a mesmer that instead of kiting, just tanks all the hits, roflmao!

Auflauf.1679:

@ConterK
Instead of shatter + 2x recast you just keep your phantasm and cast blurred frenzy (for example with reflection) and deal 5.000 damage to three other players and take zero damage.
It is pointless to argue here, because its apples vs. oranges.

You realize blurred frenzy has a 130 range, right?
and you realize that your phantasm wouldnt be doing ANYTHING while you cast your blurred frenzy, right?
instead of reseting their attack coldown and make them attack again for a whole lot more dmg, sure, lets cast blurred frenzy. rofl

I used this “flawed” comparism because I thought it was more than obvious enough for everyone that only autoattacking is surely not the best thing you can do.

Ofc only autoattacking is not the best thing you can do because you can autoattack while still doing other stuff

just like you can Shatter WHILE still summoning new phantasm and not losing DPS rather getting somemore from the shatter itself

get it?

@EasymodeX
I am not sure your calculation is the “full story”

5000 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5000 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0
10000 damage in 12 seconds (833 dps)

versus:

5000 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5000 | 2500 (shatter) | 2500 (first resummon) | 2500 (second resummon) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0
17500 in 15 seconds (1167 dps)

I can do the same thing and say: autoattack with a greatsword is better than casting one phantasm:

2500| 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0
2500 damage in 6 seconds for phantasm

vs autoattack

500|500|500|500|500|500
3000 damage in 6 seconds for autoattack

=> so, its better not to cast phantasm ?

You have to consider more things.

• First you cant compare different timespans -> 12 s vs 15 s.
• Then it is a different thing if you
  - cast 2 phantsam
  vs
  - cast 2 phantasm + shatter + recast 1 phantsam + change weapon + recast 1 phantsam

In your example you are doing more things when you shatter and recast. And you also have to consider cooldowns, casting times, the weapon swap has maybe some disadvantages….

tl;dr -> Numbers do not prove anything here. It is good to use them, but they dont prove anything.

LOL “You kidding right?”

he was comparing the phantasms Dmg alone vs phantasm dmg with shattering mechanicdo you even know that phatasms have an Attack coldown?? do you know what that means?? they’r NOT, repeat.. >>>> N O T <<<< attacking EVERY single second they are summoned,
the attack ONCE every certain amount of seconds depending on the phantasm, giving you, IF u even KNOW how to play your class, enough time to shatter and resummon, getting bonus dmg from shatter and shortening that attack coldown by making new phatasm that WILL attack instantly as they’r summoned.in your * example.. you could be autoattacking after summoning the phantasm.. you dont have to stop cancelling ur autoattack just because u summoned a phantasm.. u’r comparing 2 different stuff that no1 brought to the discussion here..
he instead was comparing how shattering work rather than just waiting for your phatasms to attack again.And people complain about shattering not doing enough dmg to compensate for phatasms destruction.. but Yeah.. sure.. “numbers dont matter here, they dont prove that actually shattering mid attack coldown of phantasm and resumoning is an effective way of shattering”

ALSO, if any, weapon swapping can only give advantages if you have weapon sigil that gives u boons or adds conds on enemies when you swap

ArmageddonAsh.6430:

Now sure you can Shatter then, but you come into the issues of them running and getting stuck again, exploding and doing no damage to anything on the slighted change of terrain they suddenly get stuck – It would be nice if that:

1. They fixed that – Made so that when you shatter doesnt matter where the clone is (as long as its in say 900range) that it will just explode there and do its Damge or confusion, i mean Distortion doesnt need the clones/phantoms to run at us does it? why should the others require it?

No one is talking about totally changing the whole profession, just tweaking it with my current build i barely get any damage/confusion when using Shatters which would be fine for a general ability or utility standpoint but its our Mechanic, the ONE thing EVERY mesmer will have in common and its kinda wasted in builds that dont take the traits that buff it or anything

“If u’r not spected into phatasm dmg.. u BARELY EVER use phantasm.. and your damage comes from yourself rather than phantasm..”

You SHOULDNT be losing damage if you wonna make something else stronger, you are still the same if you take the traits that improve clones/phantoms as you were before (minus the damage ones) but you dont suddenly get weaker to make the phantoms stronger

And again, no one is asking to change the profession (its NOT a class) just to improve a few things, as it stands our unique mechanic isnt on par with the other professions partly down to design and partly down to bugs and issues

We SHOULDNT need to trait for our mechanic for it to be usable – does Warriors need that? Thiefs? Necromancers? No they can trait to make them better but out of the box, no traits or anything it sucks

I personally think that having the Phantoms just be Condition casters and do no damage and then buff up the Mesmer and clones would be a great idea, werent they meant to be “living hexes” anyway?

1.- i shatter 90% of my fights.. and i’v never EVER seen a clone/phantasm get stuck anywhere and exploding to air when using mind wrack or any offensive shatter,
I guess i just Shatter smartly rather than just spam click it whenever i see it rdy

2.- if they made the shatter 900 range it would be too OP, giving the fact that some of them are already AOE effect, incresing it to 900 covers waay too large of an area and having 3 clones would make it too imbalanced affecting pretty much every enemy in the fight

3.- Another things that all mesmers have in common: Clones, phantasms, purple colored skills
idk what makes you think every mesmer is unique apart from JUST the shatter skills

4.- How can you say “You SHOULDNT be losing damage if you wonna make something else stronger”
is called BALANCE, you cant just have aaaaaaall the goodies in 1 build, know why? because is NOT balanced,
and every1 would just go with that one build if it was that way
or you think a Cond dmg thief is gonna do the same dmg with heartseeker than a Raw STR/Agi/crit dmg build?

4.- You dont need to trait for shattering in order for it to be usefull,
You just have to learn how to play it propertly, either for dmg, saving yourself or stoping enemies

you think thief wouldn’t loove to have perma full initiative so they could spam skills all day long?? you know they have traits and skills that improve initiative?
or you think elementalists that spec in cetain element use the other elements as often as their main one?

1.- If u’r a mesmer and you spec it into Phantasm dmg.. well.. isnt OBVIOUS where ur main damage is gonna come from?? isnt OBVIOUS that you’r gnna use shatter less than a Shatter/clone spec build? Just like a Thief that spec into cond dmg.. you think he’s gnna spam heartseeker like 90% of the other thiefs built for that kind of dmg zzz..

2.- If u’r not spected into phatasm dmg.. u BARELY EVER use phantasm.. and your damage comes from yourself rather than phantasm..
if you have no clue what im talking about.. you have BARELY played your class enough to be asking for changes..

3.- Also even if u’r traited for Phantasm.. Phantasms have a coldown on attack.. they’r not attacking their target 24/7… so.. you can use that cd time to shtter and recast and instead of waiting 7s cd between 1 attack.. u can just recast and.. BAM… insta attack again.. u just got bonus dmg from shatter and fast attack cd… win win right?

Idk why.. but i have the feeling all this people that ask for radical changes.. are EXACTLY the ones that have BARELY played the class.. and just complains because the class itself is just too much for them to handle..
for example…….

“Make phantasm permanent and not die to a target”
“Make shatter do 10k dmg so we can shatter phantasm and be ok with it”
“Make clones do 1k dmg instead of 1 so we can use them too”
“Make mesmer hit 5k so we dont have to use illusions”

Xandragon.6491:

The Call Target functionality (which is more an UI/Team-communication thing and not even an ingame/class ability) completely circumvents any defensive/deception value of clones.

I think that our defense is probably to good if it gets fixed, but it can’t be meant to work this way, making clones essentially useless.

when you go on stealth or out of range, the call target dissapears..

Effusion.4831:

Scepter clones only use the first scepter attack instead of the entire chain, making them much less useful for procing sharper images and easier to identify as clones.

Like its meant to be..
The skill says the clones will only cast Ether Bolt.. not the whole chain.. neither the Ether CLONE hit.. is just ether bolt..

having clones that summon clones and clones and clones would be a little(actually a LOT) too OP..

So have them go through the animation and not summon a clone. I wouldn’t judge the ability’s intent by the tooltip considering it still says that Ether Clone applies confusion.

i think it meant to say that confuses ur enemy by making a clone of urself.. rather than actually applying confusion condition..
if it was to apply confusion condition.. it would say the time and Lv of confusion applyed.. just like all the other skills that do apply confusion state..

if they made the skill not used when u’rnot in range.. it removes the “difficulty” part on it.. all it takes is.. playing and using it.. to learn how it works..

stop asking for stuff in a plate… jesus.. u guys are lazy.. seriously.. why not just ask for a class that 1 shots everything?

Why improve an already OP class?? if they improve it or make it even more OP.. people is gonna complain.. etc etc..

What’s with people always wanting to change things to their likings instead of Learning how to play with what they have?? :S

He is NOT a melee range phantasm either.. why would he move like a melee range clone??

he has a ~450(mayb more up to 600) AOE range of attack..

THO.. he is indeed kinda of bugged because he moves like if he had a 1200 range of attack.. he will ONLY move if the target moves further than that but once he moves.. he will move next to the target just like when you summon it..

THO.. he is indeed kinda of bugged because he moves like if he had a 1200 range of attack.. he will ONLY move if the target moves further than that but once he moves.. he will move next to the target just like when you summon it..if u learn how to play with focus u can make him move a lot by pulling ur enemy using the temporal curtain.

Utility skill Portal Entre/Portal Exeunt does not allow for teleporting all the time.

it has a max range.. if u cast the exit past the max range.. it wont work..

Ah, didn’t consider that. If that’s the case, I hope they could clarify it in the tooltip, and also cancel out the 2nd portal if max distance has been passed.

yeah.. that would be really useful..
i used to fail it a lot by running too far away.. q.q
max range is from the center of ur minimap to a border (minimap being max size max zoom in, well..at least on my screen.. i made some testing and it was around 4k range)

edit

ALSO blink is inconsistent unless the terrain is perfectly flat.

it does knock enemies off cliffs.. just not monsters.. else u could 1shot any monster in the game just by doing that..
it does work against players in WvW

test it on tourneys??? they’r free anyways u know? lol

Lol.. people/guilds that do that kind of stuff should seriously get banned or something.. is pretty much like.. exploiting a game feature that was set to be free supposedly to help the servers to balance the amount of players, but instead they’r trying to create more unbalance by calling people to transfer over.. wtf..

Problem Section

Problem: AFK
Solution: If you have not moved for 5 minutes, you need to be kicked from the map.
Solution: Should be able to mark people as afk (I know I know same as WoW), where if marked they have to move to become unmarked (not fight, but they have to move) 1 minute timer or so on this?

If u AFK inside WvW u do get kicked.. i think its 10mins or so..
i’v gotten kicked many times already.. even from PvE sometimes (but with a longer wait time)

Ghostly.4162:

Problem: It is not possible to cap a point if an enemy is inside the zone
SideNote: Stealth classes can chain stealth on each other and hide preventing a cap.
Solution: If you outnumber the enemies inside the zone the zone will slowly be capped instead of not capping at all.

I havent seen this happening.. but i’v seen than having more people than the enemy does make u cap the point.. and once a person goes stealth they losing theyr “capping” abilities..

Ghostly.4162:

Problem: 1 Person has to pay for an entire upgrade
Solution: Make each upgrade a “pool” and allow anyone to donate to that pool. Doing this will allow you to charge more for each upgrade as well which will create a better gold sink to follow. It would be fine if a waypoint costed 10g as long as everyone could donate to that 10g.

and this would be really unfair for the Small servers without full player base 24/7..

Well.. efficiency comes from organization..

Well.. efficiency comes from organization..is better to have 1 voice leading the army… than many saying stuff at the same time.. most of the time being idiotics ideas.

Well.. efficiency comes from organization..is better to have 1 voice leading the army… than many saying stuff at the same time.. most of the time being idiotics ideas.WvW is not a place to just “go and have fun!”
if u want to go and have fun in WvW go join an underpopulated server with disorganized players that do what they want instead of aiming for a common purpose, wich should be the succes of the server as a whole.

Now.. giving commander yo random players just because they “lead a group” is also not a great idea.. since some times people would just give out stupid ideas with the goal of “lets get experience and karma” and people would follow.
For example yesterday (my server is really messy and 90% of the players that go on WvW are really disorganized) we were in an enemy borderland and we capped a couple of towers, supply camps all good.. then.. instead of staying to defend the obvious counter attack from the enemy.. “the lead” (wich wasnt really guiding or anything for the raids) said.. lets go take the Quaggan camps.. noticing that NONE of our supply camps or towers were in the Quaggas attack/defend range.. i found that idea kinda.. stupid and a bad move with an enemy attack coming..
but again.. he said it and said “we can get exp and karma, lets go” so he drove most of the raid that could’v helped defend/move supply.. to take.. Quaggan camps..

This is like the 5th thread i’v seen saying that MAss invis suck, etc etc.. wtf..

Seriously.. thats why 90% of the mesmers suck in this game.. people have such a short mind for creative use of skills.. and just say 1 skill is bad because you already got another that do something alike..

now.. on the idea… idk.. i like MI.. and phantasm cds are short enough with traits to have them copied by using an elite.. lol
now IF u said.. “use it to copy the portal” now that would be some BS skills combo right there.. u could port people half way trough WvW..
but guess no1 uses that skill either.. so..

Who fights as a mesmer when you can have ur phantasms do the killing for you anyways?

…clones do damage under water but not on land. Not close to any real damage(1-10 @ level 30) but better than nothing on the land.

…mantras “charge” 2 times faster under water than on land?

…you get an Elite skill that gives stealth when we already have one that already does that in a utility slot? Is it for the 1 second extra duration? I hope not, it has a more vast cooldown then the utility one and eats an elite skill slot. 30 points, no thanks it’s a bad trade.

…you not have the ability to wield a pistol in main hand! wink wink

1.- U’r lvl 30..
2.- underwater monsters =/= ground monsters, Different defense, u have different weapons, etc
3.- I tested it and both do dmg
4.- Clones arent supposed to do significant dmg anyways

Mantras charge 1s faster.. just like other underwater animations are faster too.. not sure if its bug or intended..

Maybe u have 2 stealth skills so u can be stealth for a longer time.. (?)
also.. the normal is a Veil.. the Elite is all around you.. easier to stealth allies.. this skills are meant to be used for groups.. they werent invented thinking of a personal use.. and its a bad trade.. when u’r a bad player.. lol

Koix.5382:

Tooltip Bugs -

Traits -

Illusion Subsection – says “Reduces your shredding recharge rate by x%”, Im assuming thats supposed to be shattering skills. It also has the required affect but dusnt reflect the cooldown tooltip on the shatterer skills. (Supposed to be less that 15 seconds on Mind Wrack etc, dusent change.)

- Duelist’s Dicipline (IX in Dueling) – Says Pitol instead of Pistol.

- Should really add something saying that the weapon skill cooldowns dont stack with the -20% reduction in Illusion. Its often confusing picking both up only to dicover ure phantasm summon is only affected by 1 of them.

It does.. it just doesnt show in the tooltip of the illusionary duelist..
with both skills the cd is ~8s.. not 12.. and the skill without traits has 15s cd..

Minibiskit.6158:

Tested the synergy between two cooldown reduction traits for the Phantasmal Warden.

The traits in question:
Illusionists Celerity (20% cd reduction)
Warden’s Feedback (20% cd reduction and reflection during cast time)

Here is what I found:
When I activated only Illusionists Celerity, there was no reduction in the cooldown.
When I activated only Warden’s Feedback, there was still no reduction in the cooldown.
When I activated both I.C. and W.F., the cooldown was 14s (down from 20s).

So, the traits are reducing the cooldown only when used together. In addition, the traits reduce the cooldown by 30%, which is not additive or multiplicative of the nominal 20% reductions in each trait.

the normal coldown is 25.. not 20.. u get it to 20 with illusion celerity.. and to 14 with the Warden’s Feedback..

Jesus christ people.. test your stuff right be4 posting.. sooo many non tested stuff posted is gonna misslead Devs… -.-

Bottleblonde.9324:

I’ll add a bug similar to what has been mentioned about torch 4 already-sometimes you don’t stealth at all. Your character performs the animation and channels like you are stealthed and you still get the burn/blind at the end but you never disappear and mobs/players can still see you. This is without using any sort of dodge or other skill with it. I’ll add that I play an asuran female just in case the issue may be with the race.

sometimes when u’r getting hti u get a “debuff” that doesnt let u go on stealth.. not sure how or what causes it..but i’v seen it be4.. a lot..

Also.. sometimes u wont see the animation of being stealth.. but u do go invisible.. just watch ur boons bar.. this happens a lot when u use Torch and Decoy together to stay invisible for a longer time..
u’ll appear to not be invisible in ur screen while u actually are..

it can be summon even trough walls.. difference from other phantasm that would say “Obstructed” if u try to summon it trough wall/objects/etc..

Also.. you should add some clarification in the first post so people dont post eeeverything they feel like is not working as they want it to..
a person should Test the “bug” and see if he can reproduce it and find exactly how or why is bugged..

“Illusionary Leap”s clone summons is set to 600, rather than the 1200 other clone summons have. Swap is correctly set to 600.
“Illusionary Leap” secondary effect “Swap” will often fail leaving you at your original location.

and the Swap swaps u to where the ilusion is.. after the ilussion is summon if u click swap too fast ull swap with it in middle rush.. or spawm point.. so ull stand in the same place.. gotta pay attention to where the ilusion is.. rathet than just spam buttons..

the only thing i dislike about all this videos is

that you explain it soo perfectly great, that i bet a LOT of other ppl is gnna be learning how to play mesmers now.. and is gonna become the most played class..

im selfish.. i dont want ppl learning how to play mesmer.. Q_Q

but yeah.. really great videos..

Well.. if they did the changes once.. why you want them back? if they did the changes be4 it was probably because they were way too OP as they used to be.. lol
specially..
Mantra of Resolve
Increase number of conditions cleansed from 2 to all
Additional effect: immune to conditions for 5s
Decrease cool down from 20s to 15s
This returns Mantra of Resolve to its original power, with an added effect to make it competitive with other condition cleansers.

waaayy too stronk..

Lol.. funny thing is..

Lol.. funny thing is..Mesmer has been the BEST choice i’v made during the whole time i’v been playing the game.. (beta weekends and stuff)

Lol.. funny thing is..Mesmer has been the BEST choice i’v made during the whole time i’v been playing the game.. (beta weekends and stuff)is sooooooo much fun.. idk wtf people complains abt.. lol

People like the ones that agreed with this post.. are the ones that makes me lose faith in human kind..
dear god..
Please go play some other class.. and leave our mesmers as they are right now.. zzz

The problem with this kind of threads is people is that most of the time is people just asking for the Devs to change something that works as intended.. and they report it as a bug or a glitch just because they’r stupid enough as to not know how to use it..
for example.. Illusionary Leap..

if you want it changed.. this is not the thread for it… that should go into a Suggestion thread not a “bug” thread.. because is not bugged or anything..

i Hope devs dont pay attention to everything you guys complain about.. zzz

Range indicator…

using ur minimap at Max size with all the zoom in.. is the distance from the center to a border..

is around.. 4k distance..

Lol.. if you’r a mesmer and you think you suck at DPSing/Supporting…

Lol.. if you’r a mesmer and you think you suck at DPSing/Supporting…you should really play something else..

Lol.. if you’r a mesmer and you think you suck at DPSing/Supporting…you should really play something else..Mesmers are a perfect combination of Everything.. surviability/DPS/support..
most of my dungeon runs contain 2 mesmers.. me and a friend.. and we never wipe.. we did a bunch of different explorable modes yesterday for the achievments.. and they were all flawless.. even being our first times..

Maaan.. GS is soo BS now.. wtfff..
its like completely BEAST.. fast.. long range.. high dmg.. +Boons.. lololol!!

I think you guys should be more like… playing according the skills than trying to change the skills as you please..

yeah, the illusionary leap range is short.. but i still use it all the time without failing it.. even on sPvP.. and is incredibly awesome..
Also i’d disagree with the suggestion of having both you and the illusion jump on the target.. since u can use that swap as a dodge too, for either you (if u get attacking from bdhind by another enemy) or your illusion if u wanna.. save it or something.. also, ur illusion is not stationary so you gotta pay attention where is it at when you’r going to swap..
just get used to it rather than changing it in something you want..

if we go to that.. i’d like my illusionay warden to do all the hits in 1s rather than.. ~5?.. lol.. i could say how slooow the attacks are and how nerfed it is because of that(when it really isnt, if you use it propertly).. bla bla bla!!

Also dissagree with the clones not removing phantasm.. it adds certain lvl of decission making, if u have the trait u’d be like.. “should i dodge this and trade my DPS for survivality?” if u dont have the trait, u can have both..
if u’r using scepter u’d be like “should i do this 300 dmg hit rather than waiting 2s for the 3rd hit to reset back to the 1st one and not lose my 4k dmg phantasm?”.. etc etc.. we cant just have all the goodies in our class..

i do like the visual modifications.. the dot marker will hp refill and stuff would be really nice, the illusions dying with style if they succeded at killing their target.. etc..

and since last night.. Mind stab AND spatial surge are now incredibly fast.. pretty awesome to use lol.. they got some BS buff last night.. wtf.. is like twice or three times faster..
i might even start playing with GS more often now..

Well.. as far as i’v seen.. the warden is one of the most amazing Phantasms ever..
the amount of attacks makes him a perfect DPSr for siege.. and the Projectile reflection defends themselves or allies from ranged attacks..

that’s the only deffective part i see in the skill, but used propertly it can be pretty amazing in both pve/pvp..

Zyrusticae.7245:

Considering that gear is designed to be entirely equal in PvP and all racial skills are removed from play, I somehow doubt race has any bearing in it whatsoever.

If nothing else, however, Asura do look smaller, which may or may not get you more or less attention than other players.

Yeah.. the only “advantage” i could think of would be, being less noticeable in far range.

Yeah.. the only “advantage” i could think of would be, being less noticeable in far range.Idk abt other players but i have all my “names” being shown all the time, so i rarely miss any enemy around me, but it doesnt work pass a certain distance so being small would help you hide behind smaller objects (i do this all the time in WvW and has worked surprisingly well).
Now, in the “area” of hit thing, i dont see it gets affected by the size. My Asura does have different animations like, having to Jump and do hits while on the air (Mesmer single sword skill) compared to other races that just stand still and do the hits.

Painking.4703:

“By the way, you’ve been struck”
“You’re dead, you just don’t know it yet”

Some more quotes the male Asura very randomly says when beating on mobs.

i think the 2nd one is..

“I’v beaten you, but you don’t know it yet”

not sure when he says it tho.. i know mine likes to say it a lot.. hahahaha!! xD
or mayb its different depending on the class..

i can’t imaging how easy they would be if i actually had my old group of friends with me playing.. lol

The fact is: you don’t have your old group of friends with you in GW2.
So it isn’t easy. It’s just your imagination.

And sure as hell, I don’t have your old group of friends with me either.
In fact, I don’t even know your friends.
I’m gonna do StoryMode dungeons in GW2 with my own friends. Who are not all the best playars-evar. And there’s only 4 of us, so we need a 5th pug-player. Or I can play in a full pug. Not with your elite friends.

I care less how hard they make ExplorationMode dungeons. That is of later concern. I agree they shouldn’t be easy. Maybe the rewards aren’t good, I can’t say.

But StoryMode dungeons ? Requiring “your old group of elite friends” to finish ? Or requiring “the same attitude as progression raids” ? Requiring perfect builds, balanced group composition ? It’s StoryMode …..

u dont need any kind of elite players… didnt i just said i’v done all my dungeons with PUGs? i only have 1 friend that i take to dungeons and stuff.. the rest is all randoms… and i havent wipe on story mode dungeons..
and the groups werent the most balanced ever.. 1 time it was 2 mesmers and 3 elementalists… no Warrior for tanking.. no guardian for healing.. etc etc etc..

U can’t have 3 Phantasm and auto attack with a scepter.. the scepter will always make the ilusion.. no materr what..
IF u have 3 phantasm.. ull lose 1 and get 1 clone.. and then that 1 clone will keep overwritting himself.. and ull have only 2 phantams and 1 clone.. but u wont lose more than 1 phantasm.. unless u use the skill that summons 2 clones at once..
if u wanna autoattack and not lose phantasm.. use a weapon that doesnt summon clones on attack.

Lol i had to work mykitten off leading groups of people to capture towers and keeps.. JUST because i needed a Vista or a POI..
and you want to just.. walk pass people and get them??.. riiighhhtt…

I don’t know if you’re a gem buyer or a gold -> gem trader, but when you open black lion chests, you get tonics that will turn you into an animal or creature or something thats not a normal Player character. I’ve had great success using these (especially the owl) to traverse places in WvW without being attacked, as most people just think, “oh look, a birdy” and don’t really read the name plate.

Lol.. i didnt knew they had this in the gemstore.. but i do always kill those freakin birds/mosquitos/rats/etc.. Bahahahahaha!!!

And this, dear reader, is why we have excessive queues in WvW.

Next we will be having people who want to be immune to attack in SPvP maps so they can go around and give other players fashion advice about their armour.

ROFLMAO.. hahahahahahaa +1!!
