Guild Wars 2

Ok so I was readinga post that says bigger clones have more of an effect in pvp.
so I was wondering which looks better as a Mesmer, a charr or norn?

Nope will probs be torch so we can create our own shadows :please
God I hope not

I still think that rifle is the most likely choice, I am just not sure about thief becoming sniper because the warrior rifle burst skill looks kinda sniper ish to me.
But if we are talking stupid ideas why not give the thief staff and make his skills like Neo from the 2nd matrix film lol

Ah ok colt hanks for the reply mate.
I kind of hope they get rifle as I am new to thief and really enjoying it, also i like the legendary rifle.

So I know the rumors of thief getting a rifle for HoT but after playing it abut I had a thought.
what’s the chances Thief may get staff, it could be a melle weapon kind of like how you see monks wielding a staff in those action films?
People’s opinions?

Ok so here;s the thing. I already have a 80 human mesmer but I just find humans boring and I want to level a new mesmer anyway as they are so unique in games I find them fun.
I prefer the look off staff and GS on Asura but I prefer the look of the other weapons on Sylvari because they look so small on Asura.
Please HELP

Am thinking of making a Charr thief because charr are awesome and my fav race.
However I have yet to make one in medium armour and have heard they only look good in heavy armour.
Please show me some cool look charr thief’s

thanks

Phoenix.1370:

Decided to make a new Mesmer…hopefully I’ll keep this one, and my first Charr!

Hey man what gear is your charr wearing there?

Well actually since I made this post I had a better idea.
I think it would be cool if that in the battle royal all the deve played the new specialisation of each class.
I know it’s a long shot but would totally get me watching the stream just to see them all going at it with shiny new skills.

Yeah I get what your saying I just thought it would be a good idea for them as showing all the different specialisation in one big battle royal would get people pumped.

This a total long shot but I surgest that in the battle royal all classes are represented at least once and to make things more interesting they are all played in there New HoT specialisation.

Do we actually know of a Dev who main’s a mesmer?
Anet if there is such a person we request you have them play in the stronghold developer battle royal and not kittenter as most esl players go shatter and everyone playing the same spec is boring.

Ok so does chaos storm actual interupt? Such as interupting a stomp.

Thanks

This build looks fun and I can’t wait to try it but am stuck in work. has anyone uploaded any videos of it to you tube for me to check out please?

Ha ha ha ha ha probs why it works for me as am still so new to mesmer.
Guess I will check the forums and see if there are any other interesting builds out there to try.
Thanks for the constructive criticism guys.

So I found this build http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Mesmer_-_Staff_Clone_Condi
on the meta battle site under the testing section and had a lot of fun with it last night.
I was wondering if anyone can surgest some inprovements that I could try later.
I am no expert on mesmer but I love the class in pop just the whole deception and the staff is my favourite weapon.
Thanks

So Charr I by far my favorite race in GW2 but finding decent light armour specifically the leggins is a pain (Anet please fix).
I have been playing around with the wardrobe on my charr guardian and the only 2 leggins i can find that really seem to work are the Seer and the Vigil.
Please can the Charr elementalist out there post pics for me to check out.

Thanks

Ok do I have an asura ele and I like his movement jump and even some of the armour looks cooler on asura than human.
my concern is the weapons, specifically the one handed weapons like the dagger (or the sword when HoT launches) you can hardly see them.
can anyone surges some good lone handed weapons you can actually see with the camera zoomed out please?

Thanka

The build looks like a lot of fun and am going to try it tonight

Thanks for the reply mate. I have a level 40 asura and there animations are cool but I just don’t like that it’s hard to see there armour and weapons.
I have always made male characters up till now so having a sex change is a big step lol.

Ok so I am making an Elementalist but after watching some videos the female characters just seem to have cooler animations. Like how the female norn lobs a fireball under arm just looks better I think.
So my question is which race has the best animations do you think?

Even after over 2 years of playing this game I still find new things like events that I have never seen before its amazing.
You built one amazing game here guys thanks alot

Hey guys I want to get into playing staff Eel in pvp but I am new at ele and need help.
Does anybody know any good tutorial videos out there please??

Thanks alot

So I cant decide what race I should play as a Ele. Which one has the best looking attack animations please?
I am leaning towards Asura or Sylvari as I have not got one of them yet but I am open to suggestions.

Thanks

OK this is proberly a noob question but what are the difference in the human and sylvari animations and movement. Is there any?

Thanks

Am going to make and level my next character and I finally decided to do a Ele. I have stayed clear from it so far because of being dubious about the element swapping mechanic, is it really that hard.
Also I love the look of the lightning hammer does it get used much? in dungeons I always see frost bow skill 4.
Also suggestions on race please, normally i would go charr but am not sure with a ele.

thanks for your time

Hey all am a long time GW2 player since launch but I have never got around to playing a thief.
Any advice for a no obligation thief would be greatly apreciated.
Also is p/p really that bad?
Thanks

Hey guys I am thinking of making a necro and have been watching some pvp videos.
On the power necro videos they always seem to have a staff. Is a staff a power build weapon as I would of thought it would be axe/X dagger/X
Please explain. Thanks

P.s. what race should i be :p

So am thinking of making a mesmer but am not sure which race.
I have it down to ether Asura or Charr. Surgestions please people.

Hey guys I have never played an engineer before and was wondering how fun they are?
Also any recomendation on which race?

Shirk.6421:

It would be awesome if we could get this option additionaly “only attack my target”. Would be awesome vs mesmers for example, not attacking clones, and not having to press “attack” everytime after the mesmer gets out of stealth.

I get that mesmers would moan about that but is it not technically pisible. I mean do cloans and phantasoms have a spell. Couldn’t an animal tell the real onethat way?

Wouldn’t want to open that can of worms the mesmer’s whining allow would probably get the pet’s health reduced in all mode, additional damage loss across all pets, and a reduction of the pet’s stats/increases gain from the beastmastery tree.

OK cool thanks for all the replays guys.
I think I will try one as I love the chart with a greatsword

So I really want to make a Charr Ranger. Is it just me or do they look awful with the longbow. How they draw the bow string back at a strange angle.
Does anyone here run a Charr Ranger and how do they find it please?

Thanks

Dulfy has just updated there page with items coming out in the march 16th patch and one of them is a Katana sword. Finally
Also that new axe looks nice

I don’t know if rampage is “no skill” high damage but I find it loads of fun and I don’t play with shouys .
I play for fun and use my own build I enjoy

Been playing with rampage in PvP recently and it is solo much fun. Why do people not play it more

dont get me wrong scepter needs a buff but adding torment to every auto attack and then the clones add it also thats like perma torment ant that abit to OP. Its one of if not the strongest condition available

No

Giving mesmer this makes the class boring because everyone and there granny will play the same class.
Where is the challenge thats why I play Mesmer because it takes practice to be good and am still learning.

Simply put the incoming scepter change with torment.
Now I have played many classes on many mmo’s and this must be the only time I have seen a professions community go against a buff because it would make THEMSELVES to OP. I mean that a community would do that is just amazing and so cool.
I just watched Helseth’s Twitch post about the upcoming changes and he is against the buff. He is arguably one of the best Mesmer’s in the world and he is against this change.
I am no expert on Mesmer I am just a gammer who loves the proffesion and wants to get better at it and likes the challenge of the class.
So I will ask my fellow Mesmer’s what buff should the dev’s give to scepter?

Thanks for reading this

Sweeps

So I just saw the Dulfy video for the new birthday blaster and have noticed they made a verry big mistake.
The cake the blaster shoots has more than 2 candles on it :p

So has anyone actually claimed this bounty yet?

If you got EU events happening let me know as am happy to join when I can

Now that I look close at the image I want to confirm something. The off-hand weapon is proberly a torch but don’t you think it could also be a scepter?

Allarius.5670:

Not to incite unwarranted hype, but I was curious … did anyone else notice something odd about the Mesmer/Necro picture on the blog post this week that gave us a vague outline of what is to come?

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/balance-changes-in-the-september-2014-feature-pack/

Namely, the picture shows the Mesmer has cast Illusionary Leap at the Necro. There are a full set of illusions (2 clones and 1 phantasm) out. Notice, however, that the back Mesmer (where you would expect the player to be) has no animation showing, something you would expect considering: (1) the distance between the Mesmer and Necro, (2) the lunge animation of the other two Mesmers, and (3) the animation/timing for Illusionary Leap you currently see in game.

I suspect the back Mesmer is actually a clone, and the ability has been changed to leap the Mesmer forward. What this means for Swap and the immobility I don’t know. What do you think?

Hmm if memory serves there is another greatsword that uses the same skin but have a visual effect when drawn

Am just asking other mesmers in general, I probs won’t get it as I have almost got twilight my first legendary as using another greatsword after all that work seems wrong :/ lol

So Belinda’s great sword ( katana) is FINALY up on the gem store.
Anyone here going to get it or think its worth it for a mesmer?

Am new to the pvp seen being more pve focused in the past but would like to get into pvp on my mesmer.
How much is a customer arena?

Come on lucky number 4

Chaos Archangel.5071:

Oh snap! Remember the discussion about reworking Mind Stab(GS 3)?

Karl McLain.5604:

Some great ideas here guys! This skill is something we’ve been looking at, as it’s a little underwhelming at times.

Here’s a bunch of potential things we could do (we would do one or maybe two of these, not all:

1. Look at making it usable on the move. Currently, the animation is ONLY able to be used while standing still.
2. Increase the number of boons removed.
3. Increase the radius.
4. Make this a channeled skill that pulses AOE damage and boon removal while you hold the sword in the ground.
5. Multi-stab! You choose multiple ground targets and stab all of them simultaneously (or one-after the other). We don’t have tech for this yet… but it’s a possibility!
6. ???
7. Profit!

Tagging this thread for later.

Most of us voted for 4!

I think scepter auto will be like staff auto and add random condition on hits 1 and 2 and summon clone still on hit 3

Hmmm hope this weeks ready up features the mesmer but they will probs save it till last lol.
