I lag every time someone uses Grenade Spam x2.. on point, we had grouch and one other guy spam nades and I would lag out every time; most of my settings are on Lowest and my fps jumps around from 60 to 120
I already addressed this :P no stability or stealth while actively capping :P
No not really.. once you cap a point? guess how easy it is for a thief to interrupt indefinitely? Guess who has one of the quickest movement speeds in the game?

These mesmer changes encourage Duel builds for bad mesmers who need a crutch,
like Low skill cap Phantasm/Prismatic Understanding builds..
Am I misunderstanding or is this Grandmaster trait Useless?
Domination XII Confounding Suggestions. Changed to increase daze duration by 25%.
25% duration(Trait)
30% Con.duration(30 Domination)
15% Sigil of Paralysation = Only 70%
You also need to get Runes of the Mesmer 33%
So A full build for what? 1 extra second on daze?
Pretty underwhelming when compared to any good GM traits imho.
I for one am not a fan of Mantras, I find them clunky and bad game design like Spirit Ranger but that’s just personal opinion, good changes for mantra mesmer.
All in all tournament viable(yet suboptimal) mesmer builds didn’t get much imho.

I figured out what the rest of the recipe is and what the rewards are :/
it transforms 2of each halloween reagent into 3 of one type
ex; 2Chattering skulls+ 2Plastic Teeth= 3 Nougat centers.
Good joke arenanet why use pvp salvage kits though?..
There’s like 8 threads going on about this topic, you don’t think it means something?
Warriors are too high reward for too Little risk at the moment.
Great Damage ; Excellent surviveability; Great team Utility/CC;
Great 1v1 against 7/8 classes
Great at Team fights
Great at point control if Longbow is slotted
What’s the point of bringing a mesmer/thief/ele/ranger when you can just bring 2 warriors?
No one even runs some ridiculous duel build(Which is possible believe me),
the meta warrior is great all around, and it works to great success at extremely low skill levels.
Look PVP never had rewards and now they threw us a bone and you wanna ruin it? :/
You can still purchase chests with your useless glory if you’re so keen on salvage mats.
Warriors are really hard to play; you don’t know how hard it is to hit your 3 button wombo combo and if you ever get in trouble pick out one of the three utilities that basically makes you immortal, managing heal signet is really really hard, should I use it now ? Or not use it now, I guess Ill save it for later, yea that’s a good idea.. It’s really hard to get kited by a mesmer for a week at any point you have to make quick decisions, Should I just disengage by flailing my arms and hitting my defensive cooldown? Should I continue trying to spam my wombo combo knowing the mesmer is going to just run away? kitten It why does this fight always take so long, stupid glass mesmers. Necros are really hard to fight too, they just refuse to stand in the same place all the time, you have to chase em and hit em and pop berserker stance, and hit em again, and then they die.
I’d suggest taking a big position on them while they are worthless; and then waiting till the end of the event; Prices will undoubtedly rise my pvp brethren.
I think Arenanet should take a leaf from the play book of CCP (Eve Online)
Have a player elected congress who they fly out to Seattle chosen by their player communities (PVE/WVWVW/PVP) The vote can be hosted on the forum/website and everyone has to register for a party to vote, Then they can lock the winners in a tiny room like rats, make them fight for their lives and whoever kills the other two gets to influence the direction of the game.
What Arena net gets: Cool publicity stunt Happy Players Direct link to the players for feedback Basically free gamedev assets
What the Players get: Cool Ingame/forum Event Chance to influence the game Direct link to Arenanet Lucky few get flown to Seattle for MegaFuntimes
I once joked/theorized about something like this happening; winning so hard against someone so bad (or non existant) that your ranking goes down instead of up..
Thanks arenanet for making my ramblings a reality.
Scrap the Current PVP Mystic toilet
Revamp PVP Locker 6 slots per line:
Skins are unlocked and are permanent for all characters; Skins generated this way are unsalvageable just like achievement rewards.
Salvaging Still Gives you Dust Slivers etc but not tokens
You can now turn those tokens into valueable prizes; Dyes; Magic Find Dust; Unidentified Minipets; etc
Glory can still be used to buy chests; but also allows buying unique weapons at certain ranks at extremely high prices; like at rank 10 you can buy quip for 150k glory. etc.
New Rewards for tournaments like the 5 bags of candy every event.
Rank Rewards from Tournaments now count towards achievements.
You cannot earn any of the Halloween skins from PvP alone this time around. Once our progression/reward system is in place we will be in a much better place for dispersing gear for PvP accomplishments.
I kinda wanna ask when but I know the answer to that question it’s been drilled into my mind…
So instead; is there anything else about the rewards system you could give some substantial info about? ;3
Why Isn’t Structured player vs player normalized you ask?
Cause players want their avatar to represent them
And by that I mean Tiny Rats or Lard butt Walmart dwellers.
The good news is they’ve added completely new skins but the old skins don’t seem to have been readded in PVP chests…
Gotta buy gems mang, then buy chests, and then hope you get a ticket.
My suggestion to anet; let a subcombine for the subcombine for the Gold ticket Drop from gold tourny chests at a good rate, say 25%?
(No mistakes here boss, 1/10 of 1/10 of 1/2) so by at least 200 drops you get the skin you want, AND .. AND .. you drive more people to PVP .
It’s true that we don’t want to create a “monk” style healer/support class like we had in GW1, but we DO want to augment the efficacy of support builds.
And you guys are hitting the nail on the head – we want to make it so that some of the support skills help allies more than they help you, but they do it so well that a support role is justified.
It’s a balance between dedicated support and builds that are entirely self reliant. Once the dues settles on the trait fact pass, we’ll be looking at how to improve the support builds with another round of trait improvements for every class, as well as skill adjustments for each class.
Why is it taking you so long to hotfix mesmer fall damage?
Working as intended. >:D
No seriously, never would anyone ever take this trait, and no one ever will, UNLESS it actually does something useful maybe 20k is too much damage, but like.. 5k? that could be worth it.
One thing I hated about this patch is that traits that have ICDs indicated before now has no ICD indicated like Tempest Defense. I mean yeah, the improved tooltips on skills and traits are awesome, but they are still incomplete.
ICDs!
ICDs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mesmer ICD’s are listed in the top right …. for traits.
Sounds like a great way to keep a guardian off a point….
Guardian one knocks guardian two off point, Thief Immobilize spams for 5 seconds.
P/d Sbow new meta.
Yea, sounds like meta to waste all your initiative just to spam 1s immobs 3×. How you got 5s from that, I’m not sure. It’s 1s immobs, 4 ini each, 15ini max when traited.
It’s almost like you cant get extra initiative by stealing or have a bigger initiative pool..or regen initiative naturally.
Nor can you switch to shortbow for an extra 2s immob.
Or Run devourer venom, or have venom share or have multiple venoms.. or any of that..
uhh Actually the pvp balance changes are right there bro..
As a Mesmer though.. I feel like.. nothing much has changed for me….
Everything is as promised..
Guys… This is an interrupt build discussion, and not a single person mentioned Counter Blade, no wonder it’s had a bug for a year and it hasn’t been fixed. Know your Mesmer!!
With Blade training the cooldown becomes 12 seconds, and with Illusionist celerity 9 (at least it’s supposed to, but it’s bugged). This means that you have an AoE piercing daze for 9 seconds, well 12 because of the bug. Still, with Illusionary riposte not only is it possible to have a 100% uptime of might, but also 25 stacks of it if the circumstances are favorable, not to mention ALL of the effects on interrupt, EVERY 9 (12) SECONDS!! That skill is the lowest CD daze Mesmers have, and it’s so underused in interrupt builds is ridiculous, specially considering most people use MH sword. Here’s a video using it.
I’d give you more credit if this was at least soloque.. but I can probably go in with no traits and kill people in hotjoin.. and make a demo reel of it. I didn’t get the indication that these guys were high class opponents from their/your play..
on second thought that’s a bad idea Id probably get mesmer nerfed…
I’m not trying to insult you, but would please provide some evidence of this build working better then even standard shatter/metacondi mesmer anywhere but hotjoin?
or better yet, are you NA?.. 1v1?
On the note of confusion mesmer;
I get 2 stacks of confusion per popped clone and also bleeds/poisons other conditions whenever I dodge or summon phant/clone. Stacks might not go up very high 6-7 for confusion 14-20 for bleeds but the uptime is pretty scary.
