I need to know though, what is the exact math with the DR? anyone know T_T

The key points are:

• I guess it …
• I felt like …
• That day I had …. so it must …
• I’m sure … works …

The dungeons are fine. We just need new ones.

However many of the current dungeons could be improved drastically if they followed the same design as AC story mode. Open map and choice of which objective to clear in whatever order. You could also combine paths by making dungeons like this.

Ow, something like “Path123” where the 3 explorables are active at the same time?

Yeah pretty much. You would get rewards based on the bosses and objectives you clear. If you have limited time you can just clear the most rewarding objectives and leave. Or you can split and do them all. Its basically like UW, FoW. Gives a lot more freedom to the players.

Only in our wet dreams.

Why most people complained?
Because it dies too easily against zergs in WWW due to aoe stacking.
That happens to be the exact thing happens in Fractals with aoes everywhere PLUS aggravated pathing issues by the weird stages.

Also still waitinig for someone complaining of my efficience in fractals IN GAME…..

They complained because their free out of jail card on a 9 1/2 second cooldown got fixed to actually do what it was supposed to do, and that this particular thing got fixed before 30 class breaking bugs.

And no one has been complaining about this in PvE, because it is an irrelevant skill in PvE (except the immob which can be handy on some bosses like Mossy and Tar, but there’s still no problem with using it on them).

No idea why he brings this up as the main issue with mesmers in dungeons and fractals. :<

^ this is a wierd conception of class roles and team compositions.

Holograms

Speaking of fractals and stuff… Remember when Dessa appeared to be actually in a repeating fractal herself?

There’s power PU too !

Move DE and increase weapon clone generation is a good alternative.
Some merges are great, but we need remplacement for the lost traits. Would make mesmer viable and add flavor to builds, instead of what we have with 80% DE, 50% IP.

Add reflects to it and just make warriors the only class in this game.

Hey hey !!

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Mesmer-autoattack-bug

tl;dr: Play the way I want.

Why did you keep attacking the guardian when there was another target assigned in the second fight?
I guess that was some kind of On clone death condi build at the start?

Love Kill La Kill ost ~

When the timer for ‘Time waits for no one’ ends the achievement disapears. Will try to be quicker than the timer next time, was off by 10 seconds.

Neptune.2570:

In fairness you wont be as effective as maxamising your burst, but it works, and is probably even superior for 1v1 situations.
A tradeoff for spvp would be to take torment on shatter, it is a big trade off but will help you immensly against the copious engineers in yoloq.
Also Id swap out travelers for strength and have battle on your staff. Your gs could either air/fire combo or further more might stacking.
In saying that, I maintain that for your team, traditional burst is better,

Thanks, it’s indeed better suited for soloq. I tried Strenght/Double Battle but it helps more the S/D thieves you get against every match >.<

Ansau.7326:

Staff only condition? Think you have never used iWarlock on a open world boss.

No, I melee it with Sword Sword when everyone else camps their GS auto. Staff has for base conditions, support and control.

Should have been more precise to avoid smart comments picking one word out of a pharagraph (@staff is power too, @shatters are power only).

Staff is not only utility as you guys imply. It has great pression on your target and that’s why I’ve been playing Celestial lately. But maybe I’m playing GS/S staff wrong and I shouldn’t use it offensively but rather camp GS AA at 200 range.

So far Strenght/Battle/Zerk seems the other GS/S variant. What would be your opinion on runes like Mesmer/Ogre/Pirate? I played those too and I don’t really see anything that changes in my gameplay compared to Strength (Perma 15-20 might) or Traveler (25% speed).

Because Staff is almost exclusively condition, and Shatter line is condition.

[THIS IS FOR SPVP TPVP]

Yo, asking you fellow mesmers from soloq and teamq, what rune/sigil/ammu sets do you run with your regular shatter build? I’m tempted to roll Traveler+Celestial+Double Air/Energy…

Mike.4830:

Lets be real, you are not a good player. You deserve to cast this 100%. You should not play on the all star team. You’re not going to get “great” in one month. Sorry to break it to you, but if you play with the NA team, there is absolutely no way NA will win…. and don’t think you have good decision and rotation skills from casting.. every time you give advice in games it is wrong

Nailed it.

I got one, it’s called search the first page of the forums before opening a new thread.

Use a quaggan tonic.

There is build variety tho. 6 4 0 0 4 or 6 4 0 4 0 mes for instance.

PvE has just as much depth as PvP. The only diffrence is the human factor you don’t have in PvE (which makes things more messy and pointlessly flashy).

The class segregation is strong in this one.

maha.7902:

this guy speaks the truth

I betrayed the reroll build tho, back to sources. (._.)

Shatter is rather good for Open world/LS. Phantasms, are the way to go for dungeons tho.

Notimik.3589:

Blackdevil/doiid what build type did they buf?

The reroll build

And I just crafted bolt for it, because Mesmer is the way to go and is not in a bad position in any of the gamemodes.

Anton.1769:

Jurica.1742:

Every class has a role and if you don’t like this one, then choose a different class.

99% of players don’t want be a utility bot so then reroll to another classes. And I never heard about people rerolled to be a mesmer.

About those top mesmers:
Sometimes I meet one of them, but it is SoloQ and there he …suks. His high skill mesmer can do nothing vs meta semi afking bunker builds. So even at sPvP mesmer viable only at high tier tpvp. And again, it’s great not because of super concept of this class but because 1 utility (portal) and 1 trait (reaping boons).

I call bullkitten.

The only useful mesmer.

UrMom.4205:

umm….how did you miss the nerf that mesmers got this round….

“Skritt burglars are no longer affected by Polymorph Moa.”

Un-freakin-believable, mesmers get nerfed literally every single patch…it’s insane..

This is getting funny.

Watch videos and join the [Noob] guild. I think that’s the wisest choice.

Will let that one here.

(Sweet Bolt… comming for you!)

Engi’s damage to my FPS is insane, if that can help.

Acotje.5689:

Collosus and Zap from 11k Dungeon Tokens
3xfocus 1xMystic Toiletstone

Would you say the Stone increases the chances for the pre?

About 1 each Fotm. So can get up to 10 a week.

I think mesmer is the most “support” class with Guardian. What Maha said.

William Bradley Knight.2609:

Rangersix.1754:

JMadFour.9730:

Not quite as incorrect as you want to claim.

The Zerker or GTFO meta is proof enough of this.

The Zerker meta is more about support not being gear dependant, rather than just dealing damage. Else necro’s would be just as wanted in PvE as Guardians and Elementalists are.

Support is dominant in every from of the game, even more so than damage.

How so? Almost all of the desirable support (vulnerability, might, fury, reflects, damage multipliers like banners and frost spirit, etc.) in PvE is about increasing group DPS, right? Most dungeon groups (other than maybe high level fractals) don’t really care about CC, healing, or defensive support, do they? They just want each player to bring the minimum need to stay alive while producing as much DPS as possible.

Btw, this is not so much a criticism as an observation. The game appears to have been designed for this.

Block, Aegis, Retaliation, Steath, Reflection, Absorbtion, Daze, Stun, Blind, Pull, Wall.

You can’t tank in this game.

I still love how the mesmer is built – on illusions and deception

Yeh, I like how it’s build around deception, one after an other!

I was kinda into tentacles anyways.

Vox Hollow.2736:

I’m an old lady, spoj, you should take it easy on the slang if you want me follow what you’re trying to say.

I was saying i have no idea what you were trying to say with that last sentence.

Wot.

Are you guys serious? a Knockback every 8 second? Endurance doesn’t recharge so fast…

Play the reroll build. Comes in warrior, ele, thief and guardian variants.

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

how about we don’t give it cripple, but reduce the recharge timer from 20 seconds to 10 seconds?

so it would be 8 seconds with trait.

a 300 range knockback kick every 8 seconds.
fair, yes?

That’s not op at all !

Cool stream. GG ele.

Two years later, my 1st lupi solo. I’m one of the cool guys now.

Get a guild?

Kick them til they learn it. That’s what I do, usually i get a full good team for the last boss of the dungeon.
