title says pretty much all lookin for an active TC guild transferring isnt an option atm unless its free ! lol but anyway im pretty much up for anything i have a fully geared 80 mes and 80 ele at ur disposal aswell as i pretty much a spvp freak so if anyone likes it asmuch as i do im there pretty much most of the day on my thief and ele for tpvp aswell if you would like to do that so if you guys got a home for me just send me mail ingame or just send me a stright guild invite aswell anything works ^^
I do admit the nerf to RTL was kind of uncalled for.. you guys keep saying it was needed.. but not really as it was our only escape mechanic.. unlike other classes who have MANY over our 1. but atm ive kind of adapted to it because even if my RTL hits some 1 the cooldown will be halved got to remember that effect aswell.
Most ele players have strayed away from phoenixes D/D build and went scepter but im sticking it out thro thick and thin all the way till its gone and the build still works perfectly for me so far. i only do spvp now since i kinda came back after a long break and have no guild but i will eventually go back to doing WvW soon i hope.
But honestly i gotta say i still love being an ele i just hope somewhere along the lines they actually.. give us a good buff for our builds rather than nerf something that didnt need to be nerfed in the first place. thats like putting a 20s cooldown on attunement switching. but oh well people still love me in spvp because of the fact that i can still play my class regardless of the nerf xD They be like’ OH theres AN ELE GET HERRR OMGAHHH !!!!!!!!’ yea i like it :o lol so if anyone wants to spvp sometime or tpvp pm me or you might see me there :p

u can dodge and block it.. ive had it done multiple times as im a GS power build mesmer in spvp.. its rediculous how they made it like that now.. used it on a warrior with his block skill up. my zerker didnt even spawn.. it said BLOCK….. x.x
i love how 90% of the players on this post are totally ignoring the fact that in spvp and tpvp if a mesmer even brings time warp to the table. (Which is totally kittened because MI is better in every way shape or form.) its still on a 210 second cooldown time. that is only enough for 2 uses or 3 per game and 3 is pushing it really pushing it. because most games dont last long if your up against a good team or your team is good and know wat thier doing.
You guys cry more for nerfs more and more. and once this class gets nerfed to the point of not even bieng pvp viable. people will just move on to the next flavor of the month class. in that case it will be thief. and if you cry out for more nerfs. next Ele. and next lets keep it comming frenzy HB warriors. and next lets keep it comming. super duper beefed up bunker guardians. i can keep going all day x.x soon you mine aswell just shut this game down. This thread has become nothing but a QQ about how your getting wrecked period by mesmers. which is easier to counter than a thief x.x And if the DEVs actually listen.. i feel sorry for this game. It mine aswell have not come out at all. No smart person listens to nothing by cry babies and whiners x.×. You die in WvW and spvp all the same take it like a man and respawn. Sure i get killed by a thief in 2 seconds you dont see me comming on the forums crying out for nerfs. I freakin respawn find that same thief who killed me and kill him just as easily. fragile little things they are.
bump for osicat. WHY havnt this been stickied yet O.o lol
This needs to stay on the first page x.x since we have alot of haters out thier that are crying out for nerfs take a first hand look at this guide because 90% of all mesmers play it x.x it
Its incredible how everyone who doesnt see that TW isnt overpowered needs to learn to play.
By the way the people who claim its overpowered say exactly the same about the people claiming its fine.
It doesnt matter that it has 210 sec. cooldown if you only fight against the mesmer and his group every 4 minutes, nothing in the game increases dps anywhere near what this skill does.
I would like to see it removed and replaced with something else entirely just not sure what that should be.
I comment from a WvW point of view, I dont sPvP at all.
No you need to learn to play the game time warp has soooo many ways to be countered and avoided
here is a lesson for you kiddo ^^ dont go near a mesmer thats in time warp ??? )OMG was that so hard dang guys i totally countered time warp..
Dont call for nerfs or removing skills from the game just because you get ur kitten handed to in WvW or spvp all the same to me your fighting other players its pvp x.x
Learn to play learn to counter the skills. period point blank after getting my mesmer to 80 fully geared out ive learned alot about to class and how to counter it on my other toons aswell. altho now i main a mesmer. i can deal with another mesmer just as easily. even on my thief mesmer is a piece of cake. Fighting a mesmer is all about a clear mind watch his movements watch how the clones move ull notice that clones attack verry much so slower than the actually mesmer and dont tend to move unless you move away from the clone itself. and also the real mesmer will only be the one actually dodging attacks not sitting thier like a dumb rock. im sorry to tell you but if you get all hot headed and mad your going to loose the fight even against a bad mesmer. Thats just how it goes. Thats lesson number 2 for you too kiddo.
Learn the basics of the class and you wont have trouble with another mesmer again..
Time warp is far from OP. im sorry about i cant even agree to it even bieng remotely OP its cooldown is extremely long. like. ridiculously long that i dont even use it not even for WvW and tbh i rather use Mass invisibility rather than time warp in any aspect of the game. 10 seconds of haste is cool and out yes it puts out more DPS for you and your team and speed stomps but the cooldown is just far to long for my taste.
As for as viable elites. Mass Invisibility all the way. much more reliable than time warp and especially if your using 6x lyssa runes. And many classes have a counter for the haste stomp you just have to time your interupt right and aswell for thief and mesmer your teleport and clone dump right aswell. and you pretty much counter it. Spvp is a team oriented part of the game you have a team for a reason your not alone if you choose to go alone. and take points by urself by all means go ahead but if you end up facing a time warp mesmer and you actually stay to fight him while he is in time warp? you deserve to be haste stomped .. period point blank sorry to tell ya.
Only time i ever even see a mesmer is that they are brand new to the game and actually use time warp. Other than that its eithier moa morph or mass invisibility and everyone can agree to that one. terribly easy to counter time warp. DONT go near it with you or your team..simple… get the high ground if you can.
Dont call for nerfs because your simply getting your tail kicked by a mesmer take the death like a man respawn and go after them again.. its a game people not your LIFE. oh and remember the long long long…. terribly long cooldown time warp is on. most games you can only use it eithier up to 2 or 3 times.. 3 times is stretching it x.x usually if you kill that said person with the utility enough times they rage quit anyway and leave the game. just goes to show how bad they really are ive faced plenty of time warp mesmers and i got to say my S/S build is doing just fine and sadly i can stand in thier own time warp and beat on them just as easily because they think they are tanking me ? yea dream on your about to die after this mind wrack goodbye ^^
I still dont understand why people are complaining about mind wrack damage to me i still eithier 1 or 2 shot squishies mainly thiefs are the easiest because of thier low health pool when they go glass cannon what is it around 14k hp right? thats lower than a guardians health pool lol eithier or if your a glass cannon expect to get owned hard by another glass cannon if you dont know how to play your class right. And that goes for any class period point blank i even had a verry great fight with a glass cannon guardian we was fighting for about 8 minutes straight i was left with about 1.4k hp left after i downed him in our fight. (all thanks to him standing in my chaos storm after he stood in his symbol thinking it would protect him hehe) but its all good !
Timewarp is a bit OP ….. 10 seconds of AoE haste? Come on, what’s the counter for hasted stomps and rezes?
I honestly don’t see the other mesmer elites as viable in spvp when compared to timewarp….
I’d love it if I could timewarp for 5 seconds and have half the cooldown….
Time warp is far from OP. im sorry about i cant even agree to it even bieng remotely OP its cooldown is extremely long. like. ridiculously long that i dont even use it not even for WvW and tbh i rather use Mass invisibility rather than time warp in any aspect of the game. 10 seconds of haste is cool and out yes it puts out more DPS for you and your team and speed stomps but the cooldown is just far to long for my taste.

mainly deceptive evasion when you dodge you produce a clone its like the bread and butter of mesmer period its not a must have because some condition builds dont really take deep into dueling like that but its good in other builds its going to be your go to skill really so you can get out more clones to take damage for you and to shatter them
tbh it doesnt matter how much toughness you have ima be verry truthful here i can 1v1 a guardian on my thief easier than i could 1v1 another thief. isnt that just sad? ive beaten guardians with over 3.3k armor in 3 seconds just like any other class and guardians and warriors are the easiest to deal with i run a S/D set up on my thief so idk why i still hit over 3k+ with just an auto attack and all i do is auto attack them to death and use infiltrators strike so they cant move around alot. its pretty rediculous eithier or it doesnt matter how much toughness and armor you have thier burst is still good eithier way it may not do as much damage as another glass cannon but the damage is still fair amount
Only how i can ever counter a thief is usually when i see them comming nowadays thiefs are getting smart and starting to shadow refuge when they see me if my back is turned then they try to combo me out. and thats when i usually loose that fight.
So ex= guardian has over 3.3k toughness but only like say 16k hp.. so much easier to kill a guardian because of thier low hp. no matter which way you put it a few skills will down them pretty quickly. even on my mesmer guardians are like a cake walk. just a free kill walking because they really cant run from you id say its the only class that cant run from you lol eithier or they have to fight and 9 times out of 10 thier goin to die if your decently good at 1v1 usually i hit them with 1 mind wrack thier at 20% health then follow up with cry of fustration and the heal back to about 70% then they keep swinging that slow big sword at me with confusion stacks widdle them down slowly…….. and dead… lol. note to self= dont swing your weapon wildly when u have like 6 stacks of confusion on u… x.x
Cheers, defended a camp myself vs 5 enemy, thief, mesmer, ranger, was for sure, then I think it was a warrior and ele, 4 killed one ran away, when they knew that was a bad idea :P
Yea soon man soon they will fix this annoying rendering issues then its all over for thiefs you can actually retaliate quicker because they will actually be rendered instead of a debuff that doesnt mean crap atm because of that issue lol. this should be ontop of anets list like asap. They definitly put the mindwrack bug ontop of thier lists as everyone saw why not the rendering issue too?? that is what is making thiefs so formidable. We have stealth aswell dont get me wrong but we dont have access to stealth just by pressing one skill all the time lol so they pretty much abuse it at this point. even when you down a thief that was in stealth it takes FOREVER for them to render x.x
@Lordryux,yh, figured it out, but seriously I am still having trouble with thief what the hell am I doing wrong?
following scenario, you where hit by ~6k, by thief using …
you where hit by ~7k by thief using cloak and dagger
you where hiy by ~8k by thief using heartseeker
have one second to hit diversion/disortation, but I am not that fast…
also this scenario takes around 3 sec, and then my health is gone…
and these 3 sec the thief is NEVER rendered, making targeting impossible
and if I get a strike, say dealing half his HP, he disappears in stealth for around 5-10 sec me left there with half or less HP, then BAM downed, cause I never saw him(I also move during this time, but does not help that much)
Yea it really depends for me if im alone and fighting a thief and my mirror images and decoy is on cooldown it might be kinda hard for me but it really depends on wat type of thief they are like perma stealth condition build or heartseeker spamming kids sort of those 2 i loose alot too one i have barely any condition removal lol 2. if some of my skills on cooldown im kinda fragile to heartseeker spams anyone is really. most people dont believe it hits over 4k even at 100% health yes it does people its called criticals and thiefs critical like every hit literally.
But it really depends if i see them comming or not. usually i do so i can retaliate pretty well and one shot them no matter wat lol and since i go the S/S hybrid build that osicat provided us i can use illusionary riposte or w.e its called asoon as i see them comming because 9 times out of 10 they are going to use steal for shadow step on you first and you get the jump on them instead ^^ So thank osicat for that lol
might try this when i get some more cash. One thing tho. this doesnt feel like a kill you build more like a outlast your enemy build but that kinda puts me into a bind because usually when i go this type of build route if im going 1v1 with any class w.e doesnt matter usually sure i outlast them but that just gives them time to call thier friends and before i know it i got a 3v1 or a 4v1 going on here and it seems you really have no ways at all to escape so how do you go about this?
I’ve tried retaliation on mesmer. It’s worse than confusion build (less damage reflected from retaliation than from confusion). You can’t be a bunker on this class because you lack stability. People will just push/pull you off the point…if you’re off for more than 3 sec, you lose the point. Are you honestly recommending signets for pvp? I think that’s poor judgment. There are better options.
Also, you’re preaching to the choir. I don’t play the burst builds.
Wat you dont use signets for pvp ? you crazy dog Signet of Domination all the way for any build GG and HF. + signet of inspiration for just random boons which sometimes save ur kitten in WvW lol.
Had one duel with a thief Signet of inspiration literally proc an aegis when i hit 1.2k health when the thief was spamming heartseeker on me allowed me to heal up bam dodge 3 clones up cry of confusion and down goes the thief.. this is why you dnt spam 2 on a mesmer x.x lol
ive tried that whole spawn clones and keep annoying the zerg thing earlier lol. was kinda funny i kept about 15 players busy and they constantly kept destroying my clones i did get to like 4k hp thats when i used MI and ran away xD but it was fun hilarious even
Hello! this will answer your question. Also to all thieves who say “its cause thieves destroy noobs” i gotta tip for you, if you cant 2 shot people with heart seeker, remember you press 5 so you can flee for combo points.
Eithier or this is how thief gameplay is now. fairly easy with no amount of skill at all and ur skills hit like a freakin truck. you can say well ‘You cant beat a bunker!’ wanna bet… S/D Shortbow set up 10/30/30/0/0 period point blank and guess wat ??? spam 2 spam 2 auto attack some more spam 2 keep them noobie bunker build in place guys if they cant move they cant do crap !!!!! spam 2 some more guys and once he is 50% pop haste spam 2 and auto attack till he is dead ^^
Just saying thief is the only class that you can faceroll your face literally against the keyboard and win. you can win with no traits even selected just put a random build guys thats how we do it ^^
Oh yea forgot warrior you can mash ur face against your keyboard aswell but except hit like 5 trucks ^^ everyone loves 33k killshots for a 1.5k range yay me !!!!!!!!!!
Im sorry guys i know this seems like a troll but its not thief is just sit thier and auto attack people to death honestly no class should be able to just auto attack and kill some 1 in seconds thats pretty rediculous amount of damage with just a chain..
work your way up to 20/20/0/0/30 trait build for GS/Staff or S/S and Staff just follow your zerg basically a big group of people capturing camps and keeps etc they net good exp basically just like a dynamic event
yea honestly i kill people just as easily shattered strength isnt even the problem its that GCD like i feel verry slow now doing my combos. believe it or not. if you keybind ur shatters to your mouse or a specific key then you will definitly notice the delay i literally got killed by a thief today because i couldnt use distortion after my mind wrack. and whabam 12k backstab.. gotta love that.
Sorry Lordyux, you want it all and not give up anything for it.. You want passive run speed, swiftness, our invis, our clones, our blink etc etc etc..
Basically you want to be op’ed , FOTM and EZmode… We are not..
Sorry man, but we are 100% fine in our mobility choices..
You want to have a run buff for no reason. You ignore all the other things we have..
Lol, you want Necro minions for their run buff?? You want rangers pet for their run buffs?
Lordryux, you are at the point of complaining to just complain… You want the old cake and eat it too.
So all the other classes get thier buff for nothing in return aswell am i right ? because i know im right before you even speak learn the class play the class period point blank we are the slowest class in this game end of story if your going to give a run speed buff to all those others classes plus classes that can already get perma swiftness anyway why not give it to the rest of us aswell as they took nothing in return from them. Just stop even posting on here man your no help to no cause at all. GL and HF
P.S> like everyone said Jon that Dev guy said we will get more reliable swiftness that update and we got way far from even remotely close to reliable. 2 seconds added to temporal curtain A JOKE> and 5 seconds to a random chance at swiftness from 8 other boons. verry verry far from reliable.
alright just wondering cuz i spent around 150g gearing this baby out and looking good. im currently working on my fractals finally for a first so ill be doing that more than WvW
Literally got it to 80 last night bought all my gears and then wat i see new build??? watttttt bam nerf lol… i was about to like quit mesmer and go back to my ele if they think mesmer is OP. yea sure do you know how hard a good bunker ele is to kill and they can get 25 stacks of might way more easily than wat we could with shattered strength so i really dont get why anet reverted the buff we got. i think thats a first for them right thier.
yea those builders are strictly pvp idk why they dont have any pve builders its wierd. but i might be making a necro now since this nerf to mesmers and she was my main… necro might be my next 80 at this point. seems like u guys dont get cry babies saying ur OP then bam whack a mole. nerf.
I was ticked off because I had just finished gearing for the shatter/might spec just 30 seconds before the server went down for the patch. 4 Gold on Runes completely down the drain!
However, I spent a couple hours in a build tool trying to find a solid build that would appeal to me. I found it and I actually kill faster and end combat in better shape than I did with my Shatter/Might build Mesmer while leveling the last few levels to 80 over the past few days. It sucks I can no longer support my party with a hefty buff share, but it’s also nice to not be a buff bot.
I’ll post the build tomorrow. It’s a Sword/Sword : Scepter/Focus Phantasm build with regenerating, confusing Phantasms and Retaliatory blocking skills. Less frenetic than the previous build, more tactical and deliberate, but I really enjoyed it for the first hour of testing tonight.
Tomorrow I’ll try to find a Champion to solo, to see if it can still be done. Also want to test it out in more varied situations, but there are other viable builds out there.
BTW, I do hate ham handed nerfs. I wish the “fix” had been a little more deliberate, but I can still hope that they will revisit the nerfed build in the future with an eye towards making a more balanced version viable.
I spent 150 gold gearing my mesmer fully before the server went down how do u think i feel. time to spend more on confusion build set lets go.. or ima just quit and go back to my ele. Has way more damage way more might stacks in seconds AOE HEALS mega healing period. mega ways to get protection PERMA swiftness FTW? Perma FURY FTW?? and they call mesmers OP… sure…..
Ok so what you want then is just a passive 25% run buff?
Running that trait, will gimp you worse then running MH/focus or rune sets.
There would be a TON better traits to use then that.
Remember that buff is only when out of combat. To catch anyone you still need a swiftness buff and/or blink to reach them.
If you argument is to have it to get from point A to point B, slot your focus for that and you are fine.
We have options that are 100% viable.
w.e u say smart guy honestly your not looking at the bigger picture here they dont need to make a new trait all they have to do is take signet of inspiration change the passive to 25% movement speed. and the active gain all boons for 5s thats it i suggested this before and many agreed as they dont run signet of inspiration at all till shattered strength got buffed but since it will most likely get nerfed again thiers not really a point to run with that signet at all when thier is so much more better utilities to take ill even take arcane thievery before i take signet of inspiration. We would have plenty of room for this because the mandatory utilities u take is mirrior images and decoy your third utility slot its totally up to ur choice. some prefer signet of domination for the stun and increase condition damage but in all im pretty sure we would all be happy with that change i mentioned to signet of inspiration.
SO you want all our abilities AND 25% base run speed and/or perma swiftness.
Come on guys be real.
Plus I rather have my runes of centaur that help me in other ways then give up a VERY valuable slot for a passive run speed trait.
Without focus I have 99.9% uptime on swiftness with my runes of centaur. Again, without focus!
What more do you all want??
We shouldnt have to change our runes and weapon set ups if every other class except guardian gets a buff on thier movement speed… like seriously. this is fairly unfair to the core. while we got a small freakin buff to stuff that i rather not even use as an utility because thier is always something better.
You fail to see the point in that i rather be strong when i get jumped by thiefs and warriors not kitten weak as hell walking around with a kitten focus… x.x takes away my combos for my build x.x
1) Trying to do a jumping puzzle, while in-combat status. (Uncategorized and Solid Ocean >.>)
2) Trying to chase down a fleeing opponent or escape from opponents in WvWvW. Either you end up like Wile E. Coyote looking at Road Runner, or just can’t escape them as you constantly dodge, roll, and stealth while clearing conditions to keep moving and stay alive.
3) Getting out of Red Rings of Death on the ground, when out of Stamina. Normal move speed usually doesn’t cut it.
Note this is coming from someone who almost ALWAYS has the Focus as a weapon equipped (And got The Anomaly, because most of them look hideous).
I still say, they need to change Compounding Celerity.
Compounding Celerity
You and your illusions move 25% faster. This bonus decreases by 8% for each active illusion for you, but not your illusions.
Forget incombat speed i really not care for it at all we dont want that crap we want a RELIABLE way of swiftness uptime or movement speed like the other classes have we are the weak link in the movement speed department no matter how which way you guys put it just face it and stop making up excuses we shouldnt have to change out whole rune set that goes with our build just to get a little extra swiftness time or aswell walk around with a focus on in WvW wat if u get jumped by a thief while ur switching in and out for temporal curtain buff hmm? and your a GS/Staff mesmer that crap hurts you severely they promised us a more reliable way to get swiftness and failed on that buff wooo 5 seconds more swiftness for signet of inspiration which is totally random chance of getting it lmao. woo 2 more seconds on temporal curtain i still feel like it runs out faster than you can say freakin oops this is totally rediculous how i always see my group wayyyyy in the front while im in the back of the pack hope to get the swiftness buff from signet of inspiration and waiting for temporal curtain to get off CD … we shouldnt have to do this at all. thats the point.
centaur horrible rune set will never trade it for my air runes EVER ! period point blank other classes got the more reliable movement speed but us anet needs to compensate with something as equally good. and they didnt.
i mean honestly the only 2 classes that give me trouble on necro is warriors and thiefs i cant seem to beat them unless i run full on condition damage in a well bombing build thiefs eat me alive in seconds plus eat through my DS in seconds aswell so it makes really no difference what i try to do. sometimes i can get the jump on them other times they get me just as equally and at those times i have no DS saved up because i usually get zerged on and die x.x hate that necro really barely has any ways to escape lol even on warrior and guardian i can hop out of danger
staff is still good if you run a shatter build i hit 800s+ with the auto attack itself really you have so much crit chance and crit damage it makes up for it and aswell from shattered strength you have enough might stacks to make up for alot of condition damage your missing aswell so it kinda works out for events yea i would only use staff for a simple aoe chaos storm other than that ill be using GS with my fire sigil i have 2 just incase one for bloodlust stacks and fire sigil for when i need more aoe i know its a 5 second cooldown but it still does the job i tag mobs fairly well in orr with no problems yet
it misses its second cycle of attacks when you leave it out atleast for me it out like you dont even see the Miss icon or anything at all it just hits air lol. it doesnt happen 100% of the time just randomly really
nobody wants to change thier whole rune set up to just get 2 or 3 more seconds of swiftness it still doesnt help we are the slowest class in the whole game no matter which way you look at it. if anet is giving out free 25% movement speed buffs on signets give us something to compensate aswell as equally as those other classes. signet of inspiration is verry unreliable for swiftness focus #4 is 12 seconds now but yet i feel like it runs out fairly quickly even with swiftness duration runes x.x but apparently we are meant to not be fast so. w.e i still feel more powerful than the other classes tho thats a +1 ^^
I originally tested it on the dummies and found no difference. I tend to stay ranged a lot so im not collecting the stacks from blade typically, and the raw damage of spatial surge at 900+ seems to offset well enough.
Ill test it out again though!
It’s been awhile for me too, like maybe three weeks or so. I’m not on the game at the moment, but iirc, normal zerker CD (with the illusions line 20% redux) is like 16 sec. With the GS trait, the actual CD goes to 12ish.
Yea its stops at 12s CD all i play for spvp and WvW is my messy ^^if only it could go to 9s… x.x
You should never need a stun breaker. Necro should always have a support with shared stability next to them and for times that require it, Death Shroud and Plague Form offer extremely useful saves, as well as using full Lyssa Runes and running your short cooldown Flesh Golem.
Flash builds with teleports are for hot matches and trolling. Nothing more. You can’t use them to change the point the same color as your armor so you are useless in tPvP using them.
Focus on support Utilities and run damage of your chosen flavor (I like both) and combine it with lower tier Vitality and DS line traits. Don’t underestimate the value of Lyssa Runes. Clear all conditions Gain all Boons will change the way you play Necro.
lol… wat every class needs a stun breaker im sorry to tell you but its simply so true.. x.x even when im on my thief i use haste for the simple stun breaker lol
yea i know but he osi doesnt use GS only S/S and S/P so its a verry different set up i just feel like toughness will help a bit since im running full zerker accessorys with the weapons i should have enough crit chance and damage while running 6 sigil of airs just in spvp i cant really test because the amulets are verry different in terms of stats but im more worried about getting jumped in WvW and dieying in seconds.
@Dhampyr
yea man you dont need rabids primarily from shattered strength is enough condition damage trust me if i can make confusion tick for 900 or more damage in spvp im sure it ticks way more in WvW that much i know for sure untill it gets nerfed or bug fixed ima enjoy it while i can lol
yea warrior has one shot to get you downed in seconds if that combo is interupted or miss then they are sitting ducks especiall glass cannon warriors i run S/D set up for my thief just use infiltrators strike and auto attack them to death its pretty funny.
yea well i mean the important bugs that really need fixing and minion AI definitly asap plz i wanna play a necro but i like the idea of a minion master above all lol. running around with my slaves ;D
yea honestly you shouldnt be dieying alot in dungeons aswell as doing low damage we have great survivability and damage to go along with it you have alot of ways to negate that damage so. Shattered strength for now enjoy it while you can because its definitly like a must now 1 mind wrack will grant you about 18 stacks of might lol im loving it but it will get nerfed next patch i can see it happening .
P.S in dungeons i always have a guardian just incase.
if im getting sorta mobbed i use decoy and all the mobs go on the guardian heheehheeheheh im so evil lol
lol
