Guild Wars 2

Some people insist in keep spreading lies that mesmer is underpowered, hard to play and not viable. Yet almost every Anet tourney final has at least 1 mesmer.

You cant compare warrior regen with imune and spamable blinks. d/d ele is strong but it is melee range. Mesmer has way too much survivability via kiting/immune for a build that invests everything on offensive. Deceptive evasion having no cd makes clone generation trivial and spamable. It is like if warriors had infinite adrenaline, or ele evasive arcana had no cooldown.

Okay fine let’s give DE 10 sec ICD and see how good mesmers will be… Geez

haha nice. The other day I saw an Asura as Mickey Mouse a mesmer, he looked hilarious.[/quote]

Was it drazeh by any chance? (Mickeydrazey)

Wording can be confusing when taken from two different contexts, despite similar language.

To say you can do well against an S/D thief if played well by no means translates into all mesmers do well against S/D thieves. To no means did I generalize that and the “if played properly” plays a large part of my point. I don’t think there are many, if any, good mesmers for one reason or another.

Putting the word “effective” before something doesn’t really do anything but glorify a point you’re trying to make. Damage is damage, and a mesmer does a lot more damage than most everything else, if not everything else in its entirety.

Also, statistics play to what people enjoy playing. Some people enjoy easy classes, some enjoy what certain classes over others. To say something isn’t good because it’s not easy and not many people play it isn’t an accurate statement.

I never said it was a 50/50 match up – I said it could approach that if you dropped portal. Again, you didn’t even read what I wrote before you came in here all Gung Ho for your class.

If there are no good mesmers how can you be so sure a mesmer can kill a thief “if played properly”.

Also of course statistics don’t really work how you describe them, at least not in Gw2. There is a reason we see an abundance of engis and eles now compared to what we used to see (before sor buff and celestial and whatnot), and the reason is not that people suddenly think ele and engi is fun.

People dont complain at anet or justin, i love that they are doing this beta thing to get opinons from the community. You cant expect perfect matchmaking from a beta test, also in a game with a low pvp playerbase. Keep it up Justin!

Rank doesn’t matter BUT required unranked games might be a good idea…

No gs on mes = bad imo sadly
Also no decoy to safe heal vs daze mantra mesmer

I want cele to be nerfed, not because it is obscenely broken or anything, but because the game gets sooo much slower and more boring with it. Same goes with soldier/cele intelligence warrior. I know most people won’t agree with me but i’d be happy if pvp only had zerker, cleric and rabid amulet. (Although that would limit the already small build diversity)

If you DC and your team loses, do you get the loss in the leaderboard, or do you only get the -3 points?

Hasn’t started?

People find it a bit… lackluster.

Mostly when comparing to other phantasms. Mesmers be spoiled.

It’s best usage is to remove a blind with it, no kidding

1+ for odds at the end of the game. Without this i will probably not play the game nearly as much due to lack of motivation (since i can’t see how good/bad the other players are).

161 please

I like this, mostly because non-shatter builds don’t really use F1-F4 effectively/at all (except 4/4/6 CI). I can’t think of any other profession that almost althogether avoids using their profession skills with certain builds. Also, less passive PU/phantasm specs!

Imho Ele and Mesmer. Ele has to press the most buttons in the right order to optimize everything, but can be effective even without doing everything correct. A Mesmer has to “press buttons in the right order” to be effective, but doesn’t have to press as many buttons to mechanically optimize their play. Engi is probably up there (triple kit).
Again this is IMO

Tell me build i want to inflict cancer too!

I agree to an extent, i actually find that i can kill most people with my power ranger, even s/d thieves. It’s probably partially because people don’t know how to counter power rangers though. The power ranger lb playstyle seems similar to my mesmer aswell, which i like =)

Hey Chaos what do you think about the buff to sigil of paralyzation (+30% now)? Also, what do you think about harmonious mantras moved to duelling?

You guys don’t make much sense to me: how are warrior’s stability a problem to mesmers? Most lockdown mesmers use Shattered Concentration anyways, which is in the same trait line…

Thieves on the other hand…

Get the pirate flintlock!!!!

Thanks alot for the tip, but afaik the Pirate flintlock itsn’t available in PvP, unfortunately
:( Will keep in mind though :P

Recently i’ve been trying to make my PvP thief look like Aveline from Assassin’s Creed: Liberation and it has actually been coming along nicely imo! (see pics and judge yourself)

I am very grateful for any advice to complete the style. I’ve been having trouble with the boots, gloves and shoulderpads especially. Opinions on the dyes are of course appreciated too! Thank you =)
