Guild Wars 2

because, no one is proud, and every one is happy to play an easy win build.
Above of this due to pointless nerf, the damage of Power mesmer isn’t worth the risk.
Condi give you security+ sure damage.
Power give you average damage for very HIGH risk, which is not worth.

whatever…. a pointless topic, in a pointless forgotten forum.
the official forum is dead, so the game is following soon.

Could it be possible that he isn’t arround any more for the mesmer dev.
Everything feel like strange. Well whatever.
This forum is dead, only the mod read it…. and the game director leave the game….. i guess this is it.

you waste your time, they are not even reading the official forum

@Opening

I don’t know what you are talking about, i am in Diamond T5 and i play Power mesmer.
I don’t have any issue.

Fivedawgs.4267:

Have you read this thread?? What else are you looking for?? It’s written in black and white below, they group player with similar MMR together and match them against other player with MMR different from them.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/Upcoming-Changes-for-PvP-League-Season-2/first

So you can get 9 vs 5 or 5 vs 9, or 5 vs 5 instead of getting 5 vs 5 all the time, which lol,Dota or any competitive gane out there has.

LIE may be you should read again

This means that you’ll generally get paired with and against players in your division that are of similar skill levels.

I play Chrono boon rip/interupt slow:
a tempest can survive nothing…… they are my first target
A tempest without boon+ stability is useless garbage. He can not even overload

Velimere.7685:

I get what you’re saying, but has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

nice random post , you are the best.
the point is that people have a higher mmr and div than their own skill, due to the last season.

May be all those people, who abused the game PVP conquest or stronghold and using OP build in the past season and who reached legend division, are just hit by the feedback right now, being matched against higher skilled people

Those people with lose streak, if you could post your rank form the past season and your lose streak; we could maybe understand, what is going on.

my English isn’t the best sorry

if you could fix this……

you are just complaining because you can’t win and blame a system… srsly…..
did you even read his post before replying.

Jumpin Lumpix.6108:

So i blitzed through emerald and half way through sapphire on 12+ win streaks on my dh. Sounds great and all but my friend who is an equally good player as myself started out in amber by getting a slew of afkers who wanted to get the daily and/or still thought that lowering mmr before playing was still a good idea.

So i decide to team up with him to get him out of emerald because he had a 15 game loss streak and I figured well my MMR is hi, and I’m sapphire so we’ll be paired with other people in Sapphire.

Here’s what happened, I went from a win streak of 8 to losing 7 games in a row because the enemy team consisted of 5 sapphire players, all of whom were good or were in groups of 3 on ts. My team was composed of me a sapphire player and my friend an emerald player followed by another sapphire player who had an amber player with them.

This happened 6 out of 7 of the games. So obviously when you try to help lower mmr/tiered friends out by partying with them, it parties you up with other people who are trying to do the same.

Everytime we would join we would have another group of 2 players one from sapphire and one from either amber or emerald in our team and the amber and emerald player would always be horrible. Like really horrible to the point where it was rediculous.

I also have no proof of this but i noticed a significant drop in the quality of sapphire players I had on my team once he was joined in my party, so I’m not sure if some MMR averaging was going on there or what?

So yah, I wouldn’t recommend partying with low MMR players either. All i can say is RIP if you get low MMR because there is just about nothing you can do except for maybe organize a 5 man.

So what do you want?
You are sapphire, you want to team with your friend and get fight with amber to crush them?
You said you friend is as skilled as you. So they shouldn’t be any problem to win against people with the same level are yours.

If you could stop complaining about the system and admit your skills, you will begin to progress.

a bad workman blames his tools half way

It is funny to see people complaining about thieves again. They are not bad, you just need to play the class as intended.
Instead of playing like a scum, people try to play them as if they were warrior. Thieves are scum, they are trash hide and always finish off the low HP target. This is what they are good for and this is why people should hate them when facing them.

Almost all your skills are to quickly finish low HP players, but….
Going in 1 v 1 on an enemy that as already spotted you, is one of the dumbest thing. But 80% of the thieves are doing this, and complain.

Malediktus.9250:

InsidiousWaffle.7086:

The more you play, the better your mmr becomes and the better matches you get… although I do agree that a change needs to be made. Perhaps a good solution would be to place sub-ruby players in amber, ruby in emerald, and diamond/legendary in saphire?

That might solve the problem with good players curbstomping bads.

You dont gain MMR by playing. You gain MMR by winning. If you have a loosing streak its a circle of doom.

Torafugu.1087:

InsidiousWaffle.7086:

The more you play, the better your mmr becomes and the better matches you get…

Completely incorrect. The more he plays the worse his MMR become and the worse his team get. This then further reduces his MMR. It’s a viscous cycle. Please don’t trick inexperienced people into wishful thinking.

Anet make their decisions by data mining, it’s only by leaving the season that Anet will realize something is wrong here.

You mean lesser skilled players are together with mediocre or bad players.
The more you lose, the worst are you team mate. Don’t you forget that following this, the worst are you enemies as well?

You can not blame a system for this. If i understand, the players you face are mediocre players. May be you should overcome yourself and look what you(plural) are doing wrong.

Or do you want to face top team with your level?

so… maybe i was not crazy after all.

sorry, i went to sleep. The match was noticed as unranked. So it is my / our mistake.
People are used to push the unranked button after 1 month. So it may be the case.

hmm may be i pressed the unranked button…. but i don’t think.

i just began and won 2 match in a row.
the first game me a pip and the second nothing, it is intended?

This is easy to understand.
Would you have fun, if you win all your matches? easily?

The phantasm won’t be summoned if the target dodge or use evade skills short before the end of the cast.
I don’t think, this could be intended

what are you talking about?

I tell you, the phantasm won’t be summoned if the enemy dodge short before the summon.

I am talking about the enemy’s dodging.

well…. it is like this since the beta
As they changed the block to continious block. I talk about it now, just because I begin to be kittened off with Chrono.

Alex Shatter.7956:

Xyonon.3987:

why decrease wardens damage ? o.O

Anet calculates mesmer DPS based on how much 3 phantasmal wardens can do, which is dumb because almost no body keeps that many up at a time since enemies die fast, etc. Lowering the DPS on warden and increasing DPS on things like GS 1 or GS2 would actually make mesmer’s sustain better in WvW and PvE

I remember that i blocked you because you are a bad mesmers.
But sorry let me correct, you are only a newbie to the class. Your suggestions are ….. i can not even find a word.

And this affirmation about how Anet calculate mesmer damage is ridiculous.
Who the hell are you to make such stupid affirmation?

Edit: And don’t mistake Skill damage and DPS (damage per second)
Warden may have the highest skill damage, but not the highest DPS

I only tested it with dodge and evade. I didn’t try aegis or Block.
And Yes it won’t summon if the enemies dodge.
I wonder why nobody noticed.

Phantasm are outdated…. but nobody cares about it.
There were so much suggestions, but all ignored or not considered. Only from special users in the forum.
Yeah when they* make suggestions, kitten or not; it will be used.

Before i post it in the bugs forum, I wanted to be sure that it is a bug.
I am sure most of you noticed that sometimes the Phantasm won’t come out.

Actually, if you dodge Echo of Memory shorty before the phantasm is summoned. The Chronomancer won’t be able to summon it. The same goes for invulnerable and such.
This so unreliable….

So please, what do you think? is it a bug? or is it intended?

but seriously, until now, since the patch, have you been thief food?

I don’t know how you balance, excuse me; But do you even look at your previous balance before balancing again?

This is incredible, You give Chronomancer 3/4 sec Alacrity per shatter with alacrity being 33% skill reduction.
You gave long cooldown on shield skill because we had alacrity, now that Alacrity effectiveness is reduced, you should have looked those points carefully.

This is obviously, that 3/4 sec for 33% per shatter is an insult.
This is not our Job to see those points. I mean we can help to notice things:
But please…. there are obvious things.

I feel that people creating skills, are not the same people who balance.

You destroyed Avenger because you made it melee (240 radius) this post

You destroyed the effectiveness of Garvitiy well because people wanted to have float for fun (you didn’t even try to give your point of view and just changed it)
I mean float in a gravity well.…… are you serious.

Whatever again a vain post what will not even be looked at.

you are the one who doesn’t understand anything……
if you have 1 crono yes, it may be something like 66% more dps.
But to have 2-3-4 would still be 66%.
i don’t know why someone would add the alacrity together. I guess are you the incompetent plain and simple one.

NICENIKESHOE.7128:

So before you claim chronomancer is “massive improvement over the core mesmer in every single sense” you need a lot of hard facts to back it up.

This person now the truth, if you don’t intend to play support or defense. The mesmer core is stronger than Chrono in term of offensiv
I was surprised as i turned back to mesmer, as said in some other thread:
I won or was even matched with, druid, scrapper, dare devil and my fellow chrono playing mesmer.

So all those stories about p2win or Elite are far better are not right.

People are just focused in their same way to play with their conviction about some amu/build better than others. This is not true.

I can share 1 of the viable mesmer’s build. There is plenty of them.

build
Could even use the new paladin amulett, which may be suitable for this one.

this is nothing new, this is the first thing we all tested.

It is NOT pay 2 win,
BUT L2P !!

I played mesmers after a long time, and suprisely i had less trouble to beat druide and scrapper than with crhono, May be it is because of unranked, i don’t know. But it is definitvely not pay 2 win.

i don’t know what and how you play, but if it is not a 2 v 1, the fight Chrono , Dare Devil is in favor of the chrono.

About mesmer vs thief? i don’t know. I don’t use mesmer anymore.

Hammerguard.9834:

So now we’re comparing a single skill to an entire profession mechanic? And lets just pretend 15k is a thing.

Brilliant. You win thread.

guy… you are hopeless…. stay in your dream land and defend your Opinion with a tunel vision.

Hammerguard.9834:

…..The risk is that a Bristleback isn’t going to drop a smokefield, a massive AoE fear, or a knockdown to help the Ranger when they’re in trouble. That’s the risk. ……

Risk….. you are funny….. your post made my day,

Imagine a phantasm dealing 15K damage
Imagine Guardian summoned weapon dealing 15k damage.
Imagine Necro flesh Golem dealing 15K damage.
Imagine a high toughness Gyro dealing 15K damage.

It is quite easy to understand like this.

Your Topic ask: do u want 5 stats amulet? how you name them?

My answer: NO, i don’t want.

If you can not see how, this is out of balance

the mediocre healer with some crit
900 power 900 healing power 560 precision 560 toughness 560 vitality

I can not help you anymore.

Really NO TANK YOU.

On each mesmer’s weapon Phantasm are the main damage Dealer. They are telegraphed, you can see them coming, you can dodge them easy.
There is nothing wrong increasing their damage. Sine they will just die short before or after doing their purpose.

But due to Chronophantasma, i wouldn’t increase their damage anymore.
May be:

• Increase their walk speed
• Give them Blur for 1 sec as baseline on summon. (I mean they are dreams, Illusions…phantasm)

You can not compare Chill and Alac.
Chill is a removable debuff, You can not remove Alac.
So this thread is invalid.

nobody asked you to play mesmer. If you don’t want phantasm, just play an other class…..
I am not here to get rid of phantasm, but to find/propose a way to improve them a bit.
This mostly for pvp.

Those Changes are needed. It was just boring to play this brainless Bunker build.
Just spamming skill and dodges.

Chronobunker Meta required no skill, and it was OP.
Over Powered gaming definition:
A class is OP when you are able to achieve the same or better performance as high skilled players/classes , with low or less than average efforts. This class becomes very popular.

Please, undestand that the nerf was a must.
there were jus too much mesmers.

Xenon.4537:

Yeah… They need to really fix these issues. Phants that send projectiles are wonky as hell. Some of them should seriously just pulse aoe instead of a bouncing projectile that gets obstructed… Melee phants should be given evades or something.

On the flipside (this is just an anecdote) I once went into pvp with my pve phantasm build (pre-hot) and summoned 3 swordsman on a thief and watched them chase him around. It was hilarious. Without aoe spam the phants stayed alive and they would find him every time he left stealth and drop his health in the blink of an eye. So I think they have plenty of damage in pvp, they just need to live to deliver it somehow…

you talk as if you don’t play pvp a lot…. but whatever.
This is the best tactic for a thief to make the phantasm run far from you and teleport near you to burst you, avoiding your shatter.

Phants that send projectiles are wonky as hell. Some of them should seriously just pulse aoe instead of a bouncing projectile that gets obstructed… Melee phants should be given evades or something.

This sentence is the same things some people said that, destroyed “Avenger Phantasm”
Projectile on phantasm are an advantage.
As mesmer you need to be free walking and moving arround
This AOE pulse force you to be in some area and this is really bad.

Every mesmers player can tell, if They now obtains the buffs from Avenger. 240 radius is ridiculously small for class who need to move a lot.
I almost never get something from this Phantasm.
The projectile was a sure buff since the phantasm was summoned near you.

I hate this change, and i hope they noticed that it was a wrong thing.
They could just have change Priority on the projectile, or make it blockable without stopping his way.

Please Anet, could you review the Phantasm?

Over all those years, we learned that phantasm in PVP, only as 10% chance to survive for making their 2nd hit. Either we shatter them or they are being killed.

Phantasm are no threat, they don’t put any pressure on the enemy. Something is wrong.
I know it could really quickly go out of balance. If you increase their damage.

But I see Dragon Hunter doing every 4s on range 1200, doing more damage than my Phantasms. It hurts. Even more if I know it is my most powerful weapon skill with a heavy cooldown.

Maybe instead of increasing the damage:
Phantasmal haste could be a Basic line. It won’t change the world, but it could help putting some pressure.

I avenger has something like 8s cooldown on his attack, which as a range from 240 radius. Please…. save this phantasm. He doesn’t even benefit from his own buff.

I could not come up with a super idea. But look into it please.

Please…..

• this is item is for the quality of life. You don’t have buy it. The price doesn’t even matter. It is not game breaking. If you need a new high tech electro gear, you still pay the price.

• People complaining that they bought 4-5 salvage kit and such things in the past. Why would you get a refund or something? You chosed to do so. The game is evolving, live with it. It is your own mistake, if you didn’t want to move those items from character to character.

*May be you should begin to be honest with yourself. The Price is fine. This item is a Luxus. It should even cost 1000 gems.

Respect yourself please, complaining is good, but being immature is an other thing

It has nothing to do with might stack.
I was playing boon rip mesmer (arround 1,5k-3k boons removed per match).
I was using soldier Amulett.

Still, fighting some kind of Condi/bunker/heal/DPS (pretty sure he was using cele) ranger:
I took 15K from this pet, and that happened instantly, may be the pet had quickness, don’t know.
But maybe he chained the skill 2 -3 times. Serioulsy i don’t know

The days mesmer’s phantasms were bugged and doing 10K, you all asked about hot fix please.
There is defintively something wrong there.

You overestimate, this boon corrupion on the 3rd hit.
Some classes have remove boon on auto attack. It didn’t change the world.

not really since they reduce how many tier is needed.
with the system like it is now, everybody can get the Precursor in 1 season…..

To Have the Legenday will just be common… this is sad.

Everybody his Legend.
If the dev really wanted to XXX people, and make it really hard for people to get legend.

• Amber
  1 win-> 1 pip
  1 lose-> 0 pip
  3 lose Streak cost 1 pip
  Tier secured

• Emerald
  1 win ->1 pip
  1 win-> 0 pip
  2 lose streak cost 1 pip
  Tier secured

• Sapphire
  1 win-> 1 pip
  1 lose ->1 pip
  Tier secured

• Ruby
  1 win->1 pip
  1 lose->1 pip
  Tier not secured

• Diamond
  2 win streak -> 1 pip
  2 lose -> 1 pip
  every 2nd lost cost 1 pip

• Legend
  2 win streak->1 pip
  1lose ->1 pip

• Legend+ (after completing legend 1 time) add 1 iter
  3 win streak ->1 pip
  2 lose->1 pip
  every 2nd lost cost 1 pip

Reduce the amount of tier according to the proposition.
Like this you can really show who are the best.

50,01 % winrate, you are legend over time.
So simple it is.

yes it is, after more warning and excessive insult
