Its not awesome. The fact that most everyone does this nowdays just shows how bad and boring pve is to level up. I much preferred leveling up in GW1, it was quick (can be slow if you wanted it) and fun going through those missions in co-op
Eliminating it in towns is probably the lowest priority they have, since it doesn’t affect gameplay. If it is that expensive and problematic to fix, makes sense PVP comes first, then PVE. There are so many people in Lions Arch is is probably the most expensive zone to fix out of all of them, and the pros don’t outweigh the cons.
2012 game with ps2 character rendering… This wouldn’t be a problem if they launched the game with decent rendering, you know, like games in 2012.
I do 1-3 fotm dailies, kill a couple of boring and totally braindead dragons, that’s it sadly nothing else to do.
guess i won’t see people one feet from me in LA for another year…
this happened to me yesterday for the first time and no enemies were even around me (two dead bodies but none moving) and i thought it was a stealth thief but nothing… 7.1k damage on 1800 toughness and no one was around.
i agree but before doing anything to mesmer traits they should delete 98.9998% of ranger traits and build new ones that don’t royally suck
where are those? been 7 months and they haven’t added a single piece of armor but fund time to add many weapon skins…
why even bother with this lol since the first event i heard all you do is talk to npcs and collect something for 15 minutes i ain’t got time for this kitten
when i’m drunk, yes.
Moss Man at level40+ **** yeah!
what am i reading here???? i do not know and better not know.
Devs, add more skills, weapons and swappable weapon skills and jobs done everyone’s happy instead of building that laughable quest in which you talk to npcs…
challenge is another thing that is none existent in gw2. I think the only challenging part of the whole game is fotm passed level 40 but even that is a cheap challenge that relies on agony to slow you down and more so since anet doesn’t even let us ascend amulets/earings…
i have 54 rings now and my bank is mad. If anet does nothing next patch %#^$&^$&&@*$
another reason why clones shouldn’t be called clones but shatter bots.
it bothers me that anet haven’t announced a new dungeon in all of these months… not even new fractals its like they don’t care and prefer making that quest in which you talk to npcs and unlock an achievement.
The main reason i don’t use a pistol in pve is 1) then i have no main hand (can’t rely much on sword spamming blurred frenzy once per 10sec and do nothing while it recharges if not swapping weps), if they add a main hand pistol and it doesn’t suck like Torch/Scepter then pistol in offhand will be my main. Reason #2 it has no aoe. Duelist is nothing special when dealing with tones of enemies at once and magic bullet is plain useless with its 1y CD (talking about pve here and not pvp)
They just want all mesmers to spam gs/staff, sword+pistol/gs or sword+pistol/staff… Scepter is useless, Torch is laughable (was sooooo good when bugged tho…)
Sweet spot would be 5 condi removed not 3.
will do like 2h of testing with full zerker gear in wvw and see sup. Before izerker was first ****up i used to hit from 5.5-9k, will see now.
Its funny how they nerfed Torch, the worst mesmers offhand that 3 people on the planet use… Now blast finisher applies only from exiting Prestige and not entering+exiting lmao, keep the great work, anet now i think scepter is waaaay OP and needs a nerf lol
Lately the most annoying i see around is engi spamming a grab+barrage of grenades that one hit kill you with 1900 toughness/15k HP if you don’t use Distortion instantly. I don’t have an engi so i dunno if that’s even possible or people macro all grenades to 1 button (again, dunno if that’s even possible).
Golemancer is by far my favorite for zerker builds on mez. You can’t buy it tho, only from CoE.
Okay so most say there won’t be any new weapons for each class until expansion comes out. If expansion comes out in 4 years do i have to spam same weapons we’re using for the past 6 months until then!?!??!!?
Eles healing not OP but combined with BY FAR the best condi removal, best mobility, extreme boon spam it is OP, OP as **** compared to any other classes.
yeah, lets reroll to previous chests where you were getting one Rare per 7+ Chests, was so fun and worth doing!!! Cannot wait.
Absolutely agree with this and been saying it since i bought the game day 1. I also do believe anet will remove downed state for spvp one day but as i said, one day and that could be in years (took them 7 years to change exhaustion in gw1…)
Extreme time sink, ultimate money sink, brain turned OFF for hundreds of hours, so, no, hell to the no.
ANYTHING just give me something to do/farm, anet.
but would you take it over additional 33% confusion duration or 10% more crit chance with mind wrack for example? This is why this trait ain’t worth it if it doesn’t apply to clones.
Yes I would definatly take it over mind wrack crit chance, but that choice depends entirely on the type of build you’re running. If you’re looking to nuke with mind wrack I wouldn’t run staff to begin with anyway.
and what a staff has to do with ‘mind wrack nuking’? Its a defensive weapon which can be used on all mez builds… Plus iLeap is extremely useful to port away when you’re immobilize and getting 100swaged by a warrior for example. For a 20 trait points, it should be applied to your illusions as well (at least clones).
its not worth running until anet does something with confusion for pve (which will probably take 3+ years). If you want a condi build run nec or ranger those two do it nicely.
In pve its really bad but in spvp as a secondary damage it does the job. What i have problem with (spvp wise) is when you’re running a pure condi build on mez. The damage from confusion with 1500condi damage is waaaaaaaaay too low to even consider running this instead of a burst shatter and expect to kill anyone ‘fast enough’. Confusion should scale much more with condi damage in spvp so condi mesmers are actually worth running in hotjoin and tourney.
Even if it only applies to your own winds of chaos it’s still a very good trait imo. It lets your winds potentially strike twice rather then once when close to the enemy. Frankly clones getting an extra bounce would be outright OP.

Jormag, the legendary lag fest of this generation.
It must be bugged. Why would anyone use this trait if it doesn’t apply to clones spamming WoC? Mirror Blade/Magic Bullet isn’t enough to waste a trait for this one.
joke is torch got hotfixed in 3 days, but beserker not
probably wont admit the mistake for 2 month then come back with some minor buff
The worst part is that it took them 2-3 days to ‘fix’ torch but now we have no blast finishers on it and i let you guess how many months it will take them to fix this. They know its bugged but they’re probably like who cares, its just a blast finisher lets patch this in 3-4 months.
They all wear a Nano Suit and can see where you’re hiding.
i started using it cuz of the awesome glitch. It then been fixed yesterday and i’m still running it not because its better than pistol but because its different and a weapon i ignored since launch. I think anet is ignoring this weapon because no way anyone who cared could leave it that bad. Prestige for example, why doesn’t it stun for 1sec and gives poison for 5-10sec like the Irukandji in fotm? I mean the skill is on 30sec CD, how is 3sec of burning/meh base damage and 3sec of stealth justify this long CD? It doesn’t so decrease CD to 20 or significantly increase its base damage. My pick would be 1sec stun, 3sec burning (not the stupid 3,1/2 of burning it has), same base damage and 5sec of poison.
Can’t tell if serious…
People use Decoy and don’t complain about its CD, why do people complain about The Prestige when it actually has a shorter CD?
Because Decoy is a stun breaker, summons a clone and most importantly an utility which you can change if you don’t like. You can’t change Prestige if you’re running Torch and as is its not good enough. I don’t expect anet to care or do anything to this weapon in the next 6+ months neither.

i don’t understand, no1 tests **** at anet or what? almost every mesmer bug fix broked the skill further, wtf is this?

Not gonna bother talking about iMage because its the ultimate worst phantasm in the game…
Mesmers are gamebreakingly overpowered. I don’t give a kitten what anyone says. They are hands down the most powerful class in the game. Nothing else even comes close. I truly don’t understand in the least how they don’t get nerfed to more reasonable levels.
You play a d/d ele and talk about mesmers being OP…
Learn to play your class.
rofl i was gonna say. Someone who’s spamming D/D ele shouldn’t be talking about OPness at all.
the best strategy is to let two people die on panels, 1 hacks while the other two distract dredges and don’t exactly stay near the person that is hacking for him not being interrupted by aoe. This works fine for up to like lev30 but 40+ gl to you. This part and the mini boss before last part is such a waste of time and poorly done…
they did not. just finished lev30 daily fotm got 5 rares. got 6 ectos from 2 rares, 0 ectos from 1 rare and 1 ecto from each other two rares
I haven’t gotten one in over three months and i play everyone day…
You know what I find annoying in spvp? Downed state in general. Without it the game would’ve been much better and i don’t know why anet insists and doesn’t remove it completely for spvp. No one would be complaining about stealth/invulnerability stomps if there was no downs.
45 laurels alone is redonculous compared to rings but an additional 50e is plain laughable. That’s ONE FREAKING MONTH of spamming boring dailies and over 16g. I miss the days when all you had to do is farm X place/dungeon to get your item instead of these stupid laurels (tokens in general). I have all other ascended gear on my main and will NOT be getting earrings that are so kitten overpriced. 30-35 laurels with ZERO ectos is what those should cost and not a single laurel more.
What you do is create a level 1 character and store hundreds of useless tokens on him. That’s all you can do…
As i said this before, rangers were made in under 24 hours while all other classes were balanced and refined in months… I only run my ranger in spvp (traps,,,,,,what else…) when i’m tired of exploding people on mez. Ranger isn’t broken, but the most broken class i have tried in any rpg across the years and the best part is that other than nerf anet did NOTHING IN SIX months.
Nuuuuuu i thought i was the only one who fund this glitch and kept it for me lol Its so nice to insta kill everything
