At this point in time I would almost even pay for a ranged power based mh from the gem store.
Hopefully they do add it and don’t give some stupid excuse about how the game is out now so they can’t, the Mesmer has suffered enough from being the last class added and obviously no attention being paid to it until the last month rush before release.
Remove the stupid distance feature on the auto attack or change it so that instead of punishing being close to the target it rewards being far away (do the same for Ranger longbow too, the entire mechanic is really stupid), change the friendly bounce range of Mirror Blade to 1200, increase damage and radius of Mind Stab and remove aftercast. There I just fixed GS, medal please.
I really hope Anet doesn’t listen to the rest of this thread though because all the other changes seem to be nerfing the good skills while doing nothing to the bad ones.
Also how are people sitting with three Phantasms out? Outside of mass health boss they only way I can see you doing this is if you have made the fight last way too long, you are using one the incredibly rubbish utility phantasms or the guy you are fighting in PvP is stupid.
People keep defending them saying they are for flavour only but what exact flavour do the human skills add?
Other racial skills can be used to provide extra stuff to classes they don’t normally have and look cool doing it, Charr calls in his friends and buffs them with his Charr roar, Sylvari can put down Turrets and has a group heal, Asura’s racials adds a poison field to every class. Humans get the worst heal in the game with no added benefits and a poor animation.
