Immortal Bunker Build.
I can’t run in zergs cause I lag out so I stick to solo roaming or small groups and focus on stealing supply camps and being all around annoying.
I also love killing people in 1v~5 fights cause they think they have the upper hand because I am alone. Also, being able to hold off a group of about 10 people long enough for back up to come is super fun even though I lag out once they arrive.
I am only going to comment on the person who said Shatter Cats are easy to play. WHAT? Yes, I agree it is easy to make clones fast and super easy to hit F1. You know what else is easy? Dodging that first F1 then the (more than likely) fragile shatter Mesmer can be owned. GOOD shatter cats like Osicat and a few people on my server are rare and to play like them is to be of an epic level of awesome.
That’s all.
Running with no speed buffs it is a 13 second count if running in a straight line.
Other Mesmers are really my most hated thing to fight.
I have been running very close to this build for about 3 months I think. I have become unstoppable in 1v1. Even Phantom Mesmers can’t take me down though those fights are ridiculously long.
Solo wise my max with 100% survival is 1v5. Anything more than that and even with kiting in a loverly wooded area gets rough swiftly.
I was a member of Avatar for a good long time and thus ALWAYS had a Kylia Glamour Mesmer with me. We were pretty much invincible and could even take out small 10-15 person mini zergs.
I do not see many Immortals on my server actually.
About nerfing this build since some people have noticed it’s freakn amazing. Solo or vers small groups and when we are by ourselves or a very small group we really shine. However, the nerf to the max amount of time that we can stack retalition to was a HUGE hit on our group dynamics. Not being able to keep up 100% retal on people because we can’t reach a high enough stack to last the entire cool down of SoInsp. was a major hit.
WvW is mainly about running in groups and with that this build lost a lot of its group synergy. If you are saying to nerf it cause you can’t win in a duel against us in WvW you are kind of thinking of WvW in a very wrong way. Though I will say if you can beat an Immortal with a Thief you are facing a poor Immortal because Thieves are easily one of our most easily defeated classes.
The Blanket of Vine Spit in TA is ridiculous now. You used to be able to stay out of the high damage circles but LOTS of lesser (not much less) damage circles that blanket the whole area are MUCH hard even nearly immposible than fewer high damage ones. Yes it can be done but it is a good bit of luck that you have the right jobs to DPRs zerg the champ down.
They made the first worm boss a LOT harder in TA. They decreased the damage form the spit of the vines but increased the number of circles. Ok so when the idiots who can’t move die from the old circles thats fine but now ever skilled players have to attempt to deal with a blanket with NO openings at all. If you wipe on the champ vine it is pretty much a reset the instance because you can not deal with the amount of circles from the adds. It is CRAZY HARD. Yes it can be done if you can DPS the Champ down as fast as freakn possible.
I def. do not think this is overpowered at all. Sure I am an ele and love the build and am rocking with it but I am not immortal. daphoenix is an exceptional ele to start with.
Pointing out a few things that isnt mentioned in all the OP OP OP OP NERF IT posts.
Even with this build and all our Toughness and Vit stacking if you notice in the videos we run away a lot to heal ourselves. True we are going to turn around and own you but we still can not just stand and fight you like a Thief or a Guardian can.
As you may also notice this build uses terrain to our advantage. I have fought in the open and had a very rough time. 2vMe in the open probably isn’t going to happen. 5vMe with trees or buildings and we are good though.
Thieves still give me issues but then again they give everyone issues. This build also takes a lot of work. You can not half stack your T and V. It has to be all or nothing to be effective I think.
I also could not take real advatnage of this style of play until I got a MMO mouse with extra buttons that I use for attunment switching and the 6-0 skills. Before that I was too slow.
This has a very high learning curve and I highly doubt I will ever be as good as daphoenix. Again VERY HIGH LEARNING CURVE. Also a very high speed internet helps a lot. ^^
