Guild Wars 2

Com’on we all know it was not a bug fix.
True, you never gave a statement about the mantra but there are other skills working the same way. Imagine you do the same bug fix on thief steal.

I guess you changed it intentionally, looked at the development of Mesmer, if the Population could handle it or not.
After seeing that it was too much, you changed it and called it bug fix….
not that I care about the fact you changed it, but you could have at least called it like it is, a Nerf and not a bug fix.

I clearly remember asking about how to reduce mantra 1 day before patch since no trait was reducing it. I even asked how works mimic with mantra. At this time you already knew mantra was recharging after the charge.

So please do not call it a bug fix and insult us like this.

I never found a single fossilized insect, i got all of them from completing pvp track

did they get skin achivement? such as rare collection from those exoctic?

well, i don’t want to give people hope, but after i read the forum; i tried crafting at MF
with 3 weapon +mytic forge stone (not “no mane”; weapons from achivements) adn i got a Precursor, at the 2nd try.

so it may be true, or today was a lucky day.

We want more fun, we want more Emotes; Please.

we can not even applaud….

Btw did you know that my ranger with swoop olny can keep up on par or even outrun gs+sword war? Crazy stuff

i love people posting about wvw; you don’t even what equip he has.
WvW is a reference, but not very usefull. Post how you burst some one in pvp with egual equip lvl and skill, afterwards you can say no.

no thanks -1, i don’t want a longer cooldown.

Are thieves now Bad: NO
Can thieves Burst:Yes
Did thieves got buffed: Yes
Did thieves got nerfe as well: Yes

The problem is:
You guy are complaining but; Is your class weak now, No; You have to learn to play now in order to win. And this something that most of thieves can not handle.

I mean you even complained because of F2, some people missed the button…. srsly….

Mesmer OP or Strong let’s clarify

Mesmer was a weak class, bound Phantasm or Condi in PvE and Shatter in PvP (if you were running something, you considered as kitten)
Now after the patch. Not even 1 weak had passed and yet you were already calling them OP.

Understand that Strong is not OP.

Mesmer is now a strong class, they were used to be targeted at first in group fight.
But now people trying this are burning their fingers, and call them OP.
Using 4-5 skill to burst someone is not OP, it is strong.

OP is Barrage grenade now, how it is. OP was turret before change.
May be you should take time to understand what changed and what you can do against it, before calling them OP.
Running berserk or Marrauder is a risk. getting burst is risk. But you can choose not use those, and you won’t get burst so quickly.
it is easier to win now, but let’s thing settling down before calling them OP.
There are stronger class.

well it never happened until now

because it is cheesy to interrupt channeled attacks

Quadox.7834:

Lol. Thieves will be absolutely insanely strong. I don’t see how you could possibly fear mesmers when you have 1200 range steal, panic strike, 2x ectoplasms, and everything else. You can even get immunity to mes sword #3 if you go acro as 3rd traitline.

Mesmers are now even more scared of thief.

so how is it? Scared?

constructive post?

Interrupt on first Hit with Magic Bullet doesn’t reduce the cooldown of the skill itself.

Confounding Suggestions + Rune of mesmer => Confounding suggestions not working

Confounding Suggestions + Sigil of paralyzation => Confounding suggestions not working

Confounding Suggestions + Rune of mesmer + Sigil of paralyzation => Confounding suggestions not working

it seems everything that increase daze or stun duration make problem with Confounding suggestions

This may be far too late,
but i saw yesterday that the stats change for ascended require only 10 Spirits Shards.
Due to the rarity of ascended, I guess 10 Spirit shards may be not enough.
I mean, it is a luxury to be able to change Stats from Ascended gear.
People will surely hate me for such a post, but we must be realistic. It should require more effort than 10 shards. [15/20 shards]

This also depends from the other items needed. Since i don’t know I can only post based on my knowledge.

you just don’t know what you are talking about.
Due to the change on 23.06 if you use the focus trait; Illusionary warden is almost useless without Invulnerability on spawn.
As said maint of time, It purpose is to spawn in Mobs and bunch of AOE. It will just get stun, or daze or whatever and won’t be able to atack once. Sometime, you will not even see him appear.

Since changing trait is not that simple and it seems they are not willing to do it, Adding block on the warden skill (while traited [so it is not for free]) seemed, for me, 1 solution.

well if we could use dye there, it would be nice.

if you could please adjust

Race: Human
Sex: Male
Class: Light Armor

Seer Coat + Student Mantle, wrong crossover the skin.
Carapace pant. Bug on the left leg.

there is lots of possibility; They could assign the block to the first Illusionary warden’s attack.
We just would like to be able to rely on it at least once.

Focus on mesmer is like a shield for Engi or warriors those class can still block for a couple of seconds.
But I didn’t recognize that blocking and attacking at the same time is pretty powerful.
However the chance that Illusionary Warden attack a 2nd time is pretty low.
Focus is such a great weapon, if correctly used. But warden without distortion or something to protect helping him while trying to attack is pure garbage.

I don’t mind if he get the condi and block physical melee.
Understand us please, it is a Warden. It is just logic to be able to feel sure near him.

at this time if you skill focus , if you use the trait. it just reflect and block projectiles.
i ask if it would be possible to block melee attacks, if traited
So the warden would block melee and reflect projectile while attacking

I have the Idea
Traited Warden’s Feedback: Focus weapon skills reflect projectiles and have their recharge reduced by 20%. + Illusionary Warden block all physical melee incoming attack while attacking.
Warden was, it seems more or less designed to protect.
It would solve a lot of. how it is?

I wanted to ask the same, but i could restrain myself to do it. Didn’t want to put much attention on it and wanted to wait for 23.06 to see myself
I wish you would have never asked.
Every mesmer know have 6 times stun (Mantra of Distraction) is hell…. and i would not like a nerf on it.

If it works like Portal, what I guess.
Casting mantras after mimic would recharge the cast of Mantra.
If not, i guess you cant wait before the last use of power Block to use mimic.

Either way we should be able to pull it of somehow.

what is a small radius? 60?,180? 240? 360?

i think 240 (not sure) is already a pvp area point. This is not helpfull if all your team get distortion

edit up mantra , Inspiring Distortion

I know, No change will occur until then but;

INSPIRATON

Master:

• Warden’s Feedback: Focus weapon skills reflect projectiles and have their recharge reduced by 20%.
• Restorative Illusions: Using a shatter skill removes 1 condition from you and heals you based on the number of illusions shattered.
• Protected Phantasms: Newly summoned phantasms gain distortion for 1 second. When you use a shatter skill, all illusions gain protection for 2 seconds.

Illusionary Warden spawn in the mid of lots of AOE. not being able to give distortion while having the weapon traited is a painful choice. It was and IS an important synergy.
Above of this, Condi remove on shater in the same line Master, make it more painful choice.

I mean: It is sad to make Illusion Warden and focus more or less useless, since you can not get 1sec distortion on summon, and trait the weapon.
The purpose on warden is: not to die as soon as summoned…. but it is almost impossible without distortion.

• Inspiring Distortion: Whenever you grant distortion to yourself, you also grant it to nearby allies for 1 second (5s ICD)

Having this on Minor Trait is quite a bad idea.
Imagine yourself and your gorup fighting to defend some point, pvp or pve or wvw
Each time you get distortion(minor trait that can’t be changed) , you are losing a bit of what you want to actually defend. This is not the Point of Inspiraton trait, which is to allow you to defend and not lose something.
I don’t hink you and your team really want this.

if you don’t intend to remove this trait, which lose his defending purpose;
At least you could swap it with something like: Restorative Illusions.

DOMINATION

• Dazzling: Dazing a foe inflicts 5 stacks of vulnerability for 8 seconds.
  Why not Daze+Stun, since Domination allow you most of the stun trait. (signet of Domiation inclusiv)
  Dazzling: Dazing or stunning a foe inflicts 5 stacks of vulnerability for 8 seconds.

MANTRAS:

• Mantras now give 600 toughness while channeling them.
• Harmonious Mantras: Mantra skills can be activated 3 times before needing to be channeled again. Whenever you use a mantra skill gain a stack of Harmonious Mantras for 8 seconds which increases your damage by 4% per stack (maximum 5 stacks).

OK but how can we now reduce the cooldown of Mantras.?

Seyiwaji.4082:

i don’t understand what you mean.

Then I’m not sure why you feel qualified to suggest changes to the class.

Any thief who’s played S/D for more than 5 minutes followed that post exactly, yet somehow you missed it. You’re probably not qualified to suggest changes to the class.

Not that this suggestion is a particularly bad one, it’s just clear you’re not really familiar enough with the skill to suggest changes.

Since english is not my mother’s language and The formulation is not quite Super, allow me to write if i don’t understand what he wrote.

Whatever, if yourself see that 15 sec is way too long, it is ok.

There is no need to be qualiefied to make suggestions here. If you like it ok, If you don’t like it, ok as well.

Not qualified to make suggestions, WTF; are you my Mentor?

15 Sec time is Ridiculous, this is just too stupid.

i don’t understand what you mean.

Infiltrator’s Strike/return

Due to lack of cool down in the class mechanic.
Infiltrator’s Strike/return, having 15 sec to return is way too much. It is not even an utility skills, just a simple weapon skill.

It is just too much for the game mechanic and comparing it to other classes with cool down.
This skill is like a self portal, thieves are quick enough to handle 7 sec. It could even put some pressure on them to decide to reengage a fight or not, while using it,
but 15 sec is ridiculously too much.

I would propose to reduce it by half 7 Sec.

this is a serious issue, no joke.

I tried to put some equip together mesmer , somehow

nearlight.3064:

1. Chronophantasma shatters the butterfly effect on the phantasm, it doesn’t destroy and resummon the phantasm so it liekly doesn’t reset its attack cooldown after a shatter.

this is precisely the good thing.

nearlight.3064:

2. This is a ridiculous amount of buttons to press.

Seriously…..

May be it is too far thinking for some people, and i don’t want to start a fight here.
i will not post here anymore.
But I am not sad on the contrary, I am quite happy that it doesn’t bother people.

don’t do it, not worth, Keep your money try to craft other things and sell them.

Marco Antonio de Dominis was tortured and murdered because of his explanation of the rainbow.
Cecco d’Ascoli was burnt alive for daring to suggest that men may live on the other side of the world.
Galileo – This great human thinker was imprisoned, threatened with torture, and forced to recant his beliefs the earh is Round.

So yes…. It takes time to accept things that are beyond once thinking.
Most of the genii were considered as crazy on their living time.

About the change in Signet Blurred inscription. You are invulnerable, remove boon and have 20% cooldown decrease all 1 trait. Even now it is easy to chain 2 phantasm without being interrupted, you can use decoy, you can use mass Invisibility. There are Plenty of ways.

I don’t think a Chronomancer using a great sword need to be in close range to pull it off.
It may be hard to understand on Paper, but it is easily done. Even more if you get quickness from Sigil of rage something like that.

Easily explained:
You just need to cast 2 phantasm and shatter them after using f5.
I think every Mesmer can do this….. can’t they?

there is no need for weapon swap, using signet recharge the phantasm,

I meant berserker(or) Duellist, since they are the most powerfull dps phantasm.
Impact.2780 understood what i mean.
The time gap is only 2 sec to cast them. since Illusion Persona, is a base line with 3 clone you have minimum 4 second time until you’ll go back in time.

Using Chronophantasma, Continium shift, deceptive evasion, Signet of Ether.

Does this mean you can:
Create 3 clones
use Continium shift
summon Phantasmal Beserker/duelist, use signet of Ether ; resummon Phantasmal Beserker/duelist
Shatter them, they will be still there and attack.

Go back in time. Shatter them again.
summon Phantasmal Beserker/duelist, use signet of Ether ; resummon Phantasmal Beserker/duelist
re-Shatter them and they will be still there and attack.

Is it not a bit too much?

I hope, they will never do a solo fractal. i don’t see a good point doing this. it only favoris single playstyle. What is not the goal of this game.

NO. They should not. there are very good reasons why they are not.
1 of them is to keep the Economy safe.

i wish we never get raids. Maps like Silver Waste are really entertaining, and everybody can participate until the map is full.
No need for raid with people writing Exp only, 15k ap, or some other kitten.
Making the boss harder to kill yes, but this game is nothing for raids.

You know it is fun to come on a map and being able to follow people doing some big event. Raid ? no

lets’s look for some other revolutionary idea

I think lots of people miss it to be able to save a set of color.
Sometime you found a nice combination of color, that you wish to save.

It is a pain to take screenshot of each color, if you want to change your color some days. Could you give us a way so save those combinations?

If you please could add the countdown of the remaining time until you can no longer activate, it would be nice.

I can not reactivate asaclon,
as i could never reactivate silvwewaste track.

have someone got the same Problem?

oh kitten…… an Angel of death…..

i have the full set, i never used it, and never knew it is that great…..
well i don’t like it even today. :P

So much immature kids…. This is sad to fill this topic with such kitten answer.

He is right Chronomancer doesn’t fit the Mesmer.

The problem is there isn’t really a name for what the specialization is doing.
I was looking for Latin (memoria), Hora, Dies…. You know it is not time control.
It is time distortion.
Something like interstellar or Transcender, may be Transcender is a great name.

I could not combine all though to describe what the specialization with 1 word. But you know there is not the much famous god of time.

Still Guild wars have his own god, pick of the time god, and make a profession’s name.

Chronomancer is somehow ugly for a Mesmer.

This feedback is a serious deal. Mesmer just don’t want to be a Mancer. There is already 1 it is enough.

yes it happened and it was slow cool down not fasting it.

I have more than 10k pvp match on my Mesmer.
I tried all kinds of build. Even if most of people don’t admit it, the most viable pvp build is really clone death. Hated for being easy. But, the concept built around the Mesmer was more based on Illusion death than shattering.
The position of some traits was just senseless. This is not a nerf, it is a clean play.
The biggest issue was Illusionary Persona, they understood that it’s needed to be a baseline.
From there, you don’t even need to skill deceptive evasion, which was in fact one of the worst trait. It allowed the enemy to follow the Mesmer.

But playing a Mesmer without I.P forced you to use D.E. Mesmer Damage was somehow Weak.
From the point of view that you could only burst light armored, berserk player. Meeting true team with people playing with some toughness and intelligence, you were not competitiv enough. With those change even shatter can now be used as defense and offense. This is not a nerf, they buffed the Mesmer in every way, and gave him now all viable build as possible.

You just need to know how and when to shatter.

it is a nice feature, there is no need to remove it. the problem is not the feature, the problem is the players.
Anet is not at fault.
