Said no decent mesmer ever.

;)

Decent parties usually don’t always use mesmers.
Also, GS#5 can be an efficient way to pull mobs together, although it’s situational.

I wonder if you’d consider me as a decent mesmer now.

Just figured i can now sell “how to skip lupi without rifle” guides to all those path 1+2 exploiters.

Lol, that never happened to me. Good job.

Why would you ever want to use PVT?
Also, Rabid and Rampagers are usually better than PVT or even Knights.

That whole post is like trolling his own trolling, confuses more than it helps.

@OP: You’ll probably want to go with your warrior since eles have it a lot harder. That doesn’t mean they aren’t an as good choice as warriors are (well, they overall aren’t), though. Paths 2 and 3 are pretty easy to pug, Path 1 in a pug group is horror. I wouldn’t recommend you doing path 4 out of an organized group either.
For some information on bosses/paths you can check the two youtube channels in my description.

… Melandru.

Does noone remember their “doing awesome” in molten facility, where it took them 4 times as long to kill the first trash than wethospu needed solo?

TA F/U was one of the few dungeon paths that actually had quite good design in my opinion.
The 6 archers are a bit boring but the Defiler has potential to become a good fight (should have just made it deal more damage and reduce it’s hp in return), Vivena is all honestly one of the better fights in the game (except for the prestiges burning application through evades), if she had slightly less hp and would deal slightly more damage in return it could have been a really challenging fight. And the endboss was fine too except the fact that spiders didn’t despawn after a wipe.

Look at some other dungeon paths, SE path 2, HotW 2+3, CoF P123, Arah P4 and AC p2. All those could use a revamp much more.

Are you sure that you want to lose 1000g?

And which boss would be solo’able in downed state?

Well, that gives necros and guardians an unfair advantage.

Just the end i hope. I instantly won that challenge the.

If you want to deal damage like a warrior, just run a non trash build?

I just don’t do CoE and have so much gold that i won’t notice 5 more or less.

Mesmer with roses does, though.

Unless you have someone hugging them too hard, yes.
Has nothing to do with mesmers or reflections, though.

It was just a discussion about reflections, guang made the stupid claim that one mesmer neutralizes half of all arah bosses where in fact a mesmer doesn’t reliable neutralize even one out of 18 (19 with grenth).

There are a very few fights in this game where reflection is overpowered, that isn’t the norm though. Lupicus is one of those fights, alphard or abomination or any other arah boss are none.

Doesn’t neutralize her, she reflects in the first second of her dagger storm.

Yeah, you can obviously deal up to 364.2k damage in roughly 2 seconds.

Doesn’t neutralize him, one or two clones are going to reach you. Also that has nothing to do with mesmers reflections.

And when alphard is focusing his aggro on one other person ranging him he will do his spind and you didn’t neutralize him.

No, actually not. WW is (according to the tooltip) meant to hit 9 times which it does when you stand in melee range to your target. If you stand in your target you usually get about 11-15 hits (depending on targets size). WW might sometimes appear as really low damage. but you can’t always trust the number at the end. Especially if there’s some ground height difference between you and your target the floating bugs around a lot. I already had WW hitting 11 times on simin without even any number appearing.
And i meant it was “even better than just staying on sword”.

Also: Binding Blades can be really meaningful in terms of dps. Especially of it hits your target 4-5 times thats basically 5-6 autoattacks in less than 1 second.

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

Reflects are overpowered, absorbs (see: shield of the avenger) are in a reasonable spot. High damage in addition to really good defensive utility is kind of over the top imo.

Reflections have their weakness (e.g. against reflecting enemies), do not even destroy (or save you from) all projectiles and usually deal really low damage.

It’s even better if ww hits only 9 times, which it is pretty much guaranteed even if you stand next to an asura size model. Although: swapling back to gs after 9 seconds is bad. You won’t have binding blades and symbol off cooldown by then.

Reflections aren’t generally overpowered, my opinion is that they are quite in balance for most content. There are exceptions, of course.

Why didn’t you use locust swarm and well more often? Don’t they result in a dps increase?

Because they do not really watch the forum, they just remove posts from time to time and send automatic mails to us so we don’t suspect that there’s actually just a bot browsing through the dungeon section.

Looks like modbot deleted wethospu’s post.
It has obviously been very offending.

Bismuth.3165:

I didn’t mention lupicus because that was the one Dub was talking about, when he said 1/18, the “1” was probably lupi, so I was mentioning other bosses.

No, i was talking of alphard because that is the only boss that can be totally neutralized with one mesmer. And even alphard requires other people meeling, else even alphard can’t be neutralized.

Two could change characters and run back there while the instace owner holds the event active.

I wouldn’t bring a Warrior to CM over an ele or guardian.

Of the all possible content you could mention, you name the DG where Projectile Reflection/Disruption are everything that matter…Grats.

Arah is much more projectile-heavy than CM. A single mesmer can totally neutralize something like half of the bosses in that dungeon.

Yeah, one out of eighteen bosses seems to be roughly the half.

Flesh Golem screws up more than it helps, at least for me.
My last attempt was Well of Suffering (?, Vulnerability one), Blood is Power and Signet of the Locust. Phase 1 and 2 are quite easy, the hidden pistol skill won’t have much use there. P3 is a lot more about positioning and luck. There are certain points in the area where you could probably do him without energy sigils, on some other points he’ll throw more attacks on you than you could cover.
And even without positioning i feel that endurance is just a “backup”.
After solo’ing him on warrior (axe mace) and mesmer without energy sigil, i now tried on guardian and it worked out. You’re just screwed if you burn one dodge without use.

Wow brazil, i never knew you’re able to pull that out!

It happened again…

I’m too scared of my enemies to fight them in less than 2100 range.

This could have been so good.

We didn’t use a guardian or multiple warriors in our lupicus record.

A basher as usual, great job Weth.

I love my mouse.

Since our current recruiter seems to afk a lot, you can also text me ingame if Moa doesn’t respond.

I’m the clickster.

Not reliable enough.

Funny thing is that ele would still be able to deal 300k damage in 3 seconds if fgs gets nerfed.

#.4 staff fire and #3 dagger fire, right?

Neither nor.

a t s e.9614:

in PvE you pretty much only need 3 things ( might,fury, stability, vulnerability)

lol

lol

less on stability, more on that you actually read the text

I don’t understand you.

If you hit 6k twice you’d be hitting a bit less than 12k on your third attack.

spoj.9672:

Yeah I just find sword unbelievably boring though. The numbers dont even look impressive with sword auto. Atleast with GS i can press 5 buttons for dps!

I dunno, 6k, 6k, 5kx3 sword auto chain looks good to me.

That would be pretty weird.

That is.. me :o

Yeah obviously.

TheMaskedParadigm.3629:

Any build that involves GS is not better than only using Sword.

But only because you aren’t able to concentrate enough for so many button presses
