Guild Wars 2

Junkpile.7439:

Well meteor shower does too much damage in EotM. Weird thing is that when i go borderlands MS doesn’t do kitten.

we do much dmg but we dont have any real knocbkack/pull wich is to taken serious

check other classes, example warriors/mesmers /fear necros

they mass kill ppl w aoe knocks and fears etc

shatters beeing unblockable or they not affected by cripple, chill and immobalize after commanded to shatter r nice boosts

dukevonart.2691:

Food for Thought

• What if attunement cooldowns began when you switched to an attunement rather than when you switched away from an attunement?

this idea, i vote for this

and it doesnt sound op at all if u remove the invuln, just another phantasm, i bet the warrior one is like iWarden? its surely gonna bug kitten

should be on 50-100 sec cd

shouldnt have the invulnerable effect

hp pool like our phantasms , traitable to have more

should repeat spell every 3-8 seconds depending on proffession

overall: awesome idea, cheers

i do play mesmer btw, not like i am a random raging war not beeing able to identify a mesmer :p

just talking from perspective of all other classes

bljink to enemy shatters, op

giving them the effects will make it harder for alrdy raging ppl and result to a nerf in either our dmg or def or stealth cd

last suggestion op again

Godric.3012:

Yay this is good news , i have been waiting for this (nerf) “bug” since August 28 2012.
But now could the devs please invent someting to get us cacs out of the red circles. A little nerf of the air buff that gives eles speed buff would be nice, (i hate running after them)

Ps: love what you do arenanet

i smell sarcasm

adding field to meteor would make it only viable in pve, more than 50% of eles would stop using staff

any half decent zerg w some brain gets out of a meteor circle, i mean , its gonna be the most obvious thing that its a meteor red circle since there isnt an aoe w sch a large field

adding red circle to it will now destroy it.

i think this was back then when focus wasnt buggged ?:o

dont use focus , its too buggy and a rly bad gamble to land the warden, its mostly just a wasted spell

This was FAN-tastic. And the perfect motivation for getting me into playing shatter again!!

:D

I’ll update the description on the video in a bit, to also contain the build links and stuff. If only I knew what that site is that people use :o

1 second is too short.

Imagine switching atunements, it fires at that exact moment, taking about 1/4 of a sec to show your new bar, then say you’re hotkeyed and take another 1/4 of a sec to find and press the key.

So now only 1/2 a sec would apply to the skill in a best case scenario.

If you’re a clicker then it may as well not exist.

Quickness isn’t a boon either so no duration effects it.

So in reality it would need to be 1.5-2 seconds to be usable.

u only need to start the cast, so quickness is for only one skill(awesoem for fire2 on scepter or earth 5 on dagger) the rest of cast will be 50% shortened, doesnt mather if quickness runs out or not

buuut these elites r just unimaginable

mesmer ones is just weird,

why would a warrior get that elite

ranger alrdy has that as grandmaster trait

etc.

^ for s/d btw

w quickness u r sure to always land the dragontooth after air 5

sorrychief.2563:

I do not want a DT, phoenix or firegrab comming at me when an ele has quickness up. Scarey thought.

Real question: Why would you need quickness on a fresh air build upon switching to air if all air burst is instant? LOL.

cause fire still deals more dmg then those lightnings , in pvp u hit 8-9 k dragon tooth on glassy ppl, firegrab 9 k for sure on burning glassy ppl

lighnting hits twice 2-4 k ish(attunement swap and air 2)

rincevent de ankh.6531:

One more time things are totaly upside down !

Mesmer new elite shout be the warriors one. I mean, warriors already can do more confusion damage than mesmers. it was really necessary to improve that ? what a joke ! this elite should be for mermers as an elite mantra or something like that.

the other professsion have great elites, elem almost quickness all the time, ranger just overpowered, necromencer elite will definetly kills anyone who have any boons.

let me guess, the mesmer elite will have a 240 sec CD ?

It would be better to give mesmers the opportunity to pop 3 phantasms instantly with an elite skill. that Would be an elite.

dude that was my first idea when i read about new elites lmao

example : if u got gs equipped u summon 3 berserkers wich atk at same time(enemy can easily evade all of em w 1 dodge, if fail they can get 1 hitted)

on pistol offhand duelists

sword offhand those sword phantasm

on focus enemy is between 3 wardens (hope they dont mess up w wardens if they implement this)

staff : 3 of those phantasm that deal more dmg if enemy got more condis

torch, 3 mages

the moment i read ‘(M.A.S.T.E.R)’ i clicked link

1 second quickness is enuf to be able to land fire 2 on scepter, or meteor w staff

for d/d i would only need it for earth 5 , else i would use fgs or glyph of elemtnal

R glyphs in pvp actually viable? I mean glyph based builds

And non condition if possible

I also searched for a video but couldnt find one , if someone has a video of an ele using a glyph build pvping pls share!

wow elementalists would finally get a real elite besides the glyph

mesner elite sounds dumb as kitten

if this is real tho, awesome ideas besides the mesmer and ranger one
(ranger alrdy has trait for it ffs)

thanks !

Ryld.1340:

Attunement Swap Cooldown removed. All swap effects are given a 8 second cooldown.

You want us to be able to “adapt to any situation”? Then let us use our skills when we need them.

that would make the arcan traitline useless, i mean the basic points thingy( dam cant explain)

but, u know when u swap to an attunement every attunement gets a 2 second cd, remove that so we can swap faster, for example, auras r instant cast- if u only want the aura from one attunement u just swap to it , use aura, swap righ after to another attunement without waiting 2 seconds

this would be awesome

ops i mean water 2 on scepter needs change not focus lol

so, fire focus skills really need a change, water 2 on focus needs change

conjure weaps r fine

we need more base hp or buff our dmg

rtl needs cooldown reduction, like 30 sec normal and 25 sec if u hit enemy?

earth dagger 4 needs cooldown reduction

well w this changes ele would pretty well be balanced i guess?

so, how does the trait work?(piercing shards)

it says 20% more dmg to vulnerable foes, so enemys gotta have vulnerability or smth on them? :0

well, thx for help

ye i just said he started w that, he did use skill 2 , but he also changed to trident ik that

ah it was in pvp btw, that water arena

so, few days ago i met some mesmer who was doing insane undrwater burst dmg

(sry not sure if he used shatter or not, it went so fast, i am sure he used the spear 5 skill)

he bursted some ppl in lik 2-3 sec after he had his spear 5 up

and that catched up my interest, does anyone have a video/can explain how ..?

and i am sure it wasnt just using diversion -> 25 vulnerability then mindwrack,

thx in advance !

so as the title says i need some help, i am pretty new to ele

wich acessorys/amulet /etc and gears should i go for?

i play both wvw and do dungeons once in a while (rarely doing fractals)

i am gonna get my ascended stuff thats why i am askin , thx in advance !

ah ye, i run every weaponset :p switching builds frequently (mostly dmg based builds)

so , mesmer received the- illusion die on stealth- bug now…?

Hedger.9261:

isnt the current problem with mesmers in general that no matter how we trait we dont really do that thing very well compared to others? Its not all that fair to say a build is “unfocused” when one of the characteristics of the class currently is being unfocused

actually i wonder about why ppl say this, some classes can do everything we can do better , buuuuuuuuuuuut~ u guys even thought about that ?: they might be doing better ,but we r like 2-3 proffession combine and do everything 3 classes do as a single classes, just slightly lower then the other classes do but we can do em all.

i always wondered why u ppl be like: mesmer is useless, everything we do is crap compared to other classes.

mesmer is pretty flexible and thats why i love playing it

arigato gozaimasu~!

if focus just wouldnt be so buggy….

Osicat.4139:

Not commenting on the build but rather a mecanic it use. I find the blocks be good but with 1 extremly annoying fact. Why do it exist a smal delay between the block and the counter hit?

A realy fast attacking enemy who hitting you when you have low health = you dont have time to “wait” for the conuter hit to hit as he will hit you again before it landing. This mean you need to use another defensive ability or dodge as soon “block” come up = you neevr land the counter hit.

Example = you have 5k hp, thief spamm attack, you use “block” you block, you wait for block to land = dead

Alt, you “block” you dodge = you never land counter hit but survive.

I would like counter to hit instantly, this would mean you can use next block ability for next attack or avoid the next attack without waste your hard hitting skill.

/Osicat

i do think the block skills would be kind of overpowered if so

i mean they alrdy hit srsly hard and make clone on top of it /or tormentx5
(even in pvp, sword block crits up to 4 k once in a while)

it should stay like how it is in my opinion

its easy soloable:p, needed like 30 min for exact event location tho

Xyonon.3987:

huh i know about portal gun, but how is the rifle called? o.o

experimental rifle, u gotta do an eventchain in malchors leap , u gotta destroy chickken kits or whateveer then a champ then there is a merchant who sells those rifles

since no1 is doing malchor leap events it mostly starts w kill the chickens there, then 4 risen chickens, then chicken kits, then champ ( u got 6 min time for chicken kits and if it fails u gotta kill some chcickens then 4 veteran chickens after and retry the chicken kits)

the champ is pretty easy, as mesmer u can afk kill it, spawn 3 wardens, hide in em, go afk, boss reflects gonna kill him:p (if u skilled focus reflect in insipiration traitline that is)

ppl most likely always managed to get mesmers easily before pu (burst em once and down) and now they complain about mesmer loosing some of their dmg to trade for defence. (they cant kill pu mesmers in 1 burst anymore but neither will the good players loose to pu builds-draw)

in short , they r just used to mesmers beeing easy to kill once u got em pinned down

thats the rifle, this is gun , for gun u dont need to :p

rifle is better tho

it also helps in puzzles:p (obsidian sanctum – example)

gonna correct myself, cant seem to use it in obsidian , but all other puzzles should be fine

place to obtain – merchant- at timberline falls

jump range is 650-800 smth between that

to all mesmers without jumping skills, u can now easily jump to unreachable places like warriors guards etc with a ‘experimental teleportation gun’

see attachments

wich skill do they use?

Bearlin.7238:

Yea…. no limit. We made even more clones with 3 mesmers to make it faster… must’ve made about 60+

what the actualy f**

well on heavy armoured classes its low, but on thiefs i frequently get 5k(wvw full zerker btw), on others it varies between 3-4.5 k crits

also u ever seen the sword 4 block? i once critted 4,3 k w it on another mesmer

someone invited me alrdy:P
thx;)

tried the build, its quite good , only makes me miss blink

in spvp i wouldnt take signet tho, in spvp 90% of my matches ppl just do random stuff while i solo cap… (they dont deserve my boons!)

this build looks awesome, gotta try it

@Quaelyn: Secret Santa! That’s what I was thinking of but I forgot the name of it.
And what was the build you’ve been using for PvP? I know its a variant of PU of some sort but a bit different, no? Should post it.

Also, this is less about giving precise criticism and more about trying different builds and seeing how you feel about them. Your evaluation would be about if it suited your playstyle, what you liked/disliked, anything you changed and how long you used it ect.. Don’t have to be an expert, just gotta post your opinion.

@Wyrden: That lockdown build looks like it could be solid, but it’s got two major flaws: No condition removal, and no way to rip boons.. which is kind of key for a lockdown Mesmer.

@trooper: Was hoping for the results to be posted in this thread, that way anyone reading can also learn from it. I haven’t tried your build yet but it definitely looks solid, the lack of ability to boonstrip worries me though… Warriors/Guardians and some Engineers would have a fieldday.

u forgetting sword 1 clone for boonstrip:p, once enemy immobalized ,sword clones or u can do it on ur own as well, 1 boon for each clone (or u) in 2-3 sec :p

This is true, and kind of slipped my mind, but that’s difficult in a group fight and not entirely reliable. Staying in melee range for that long almost guarantees you’re gonna be taking some damage and risk getting targetted/focused.

well thats true
