Guild Wars 2

That. is. awesome.

Nice job!

Even non-shatter builds use shatter eventually.

Carighan.6758:

You mean the Mesmer Section was so small you didn’t even notice it while scrolling past? kitten . :S

Two lines = two buffs.
Which is two more than Engineers got.

Mesmer’s have been getting bi-weekly nerfs with the last 3 patches.

spoj.9672:

On the pluside this will surely mean necros get buffed again next month. Whack-a-mole necro balance should be fun.

Yeah Mesmer’s thought that too until the bi-weekly nerfing started. At least this patch they got two small buffs.

Gaiawolf.8261:

Though its not a mesmer change, the change to centaur runes is helpful since mesmers need to use it more than most other classes.

Which is unfortunate that we have to use these runes to keep up with others.

Anet wants ‘build diversity’ but after the last few rounds of nerfs, it feels we have less viable and effective builds than ever.

I have 3 sets of Berserker, 2 sets of Knights, 2 sets of Rabid and 1 mixed set (zerk, knights, valk) all with different runes.

Broken class is broken.

Quit bumping this thread kitten .

IIRC, the more people that tag and kill a Dolyak, the more points you get which puts the balance in favour of a zerg which is stupid.

Hey Osi,

I have been playing your Shattercat Heavy 3.0 and I like the build. I also usually use either Superior Sigil of Bloodlust or Superior Sigil of Perception on both my underwater weapons to build stacks when I can.

What do you think would be better – Bloodlust for more might or Perception for more crit?

I also like Signet of Inspiration in this build (replaces Portal) to share Might with your party.

I have 26 weapons, many of them pearl.

:D

I am all for removing/changing Magic Find gear. Good job Anet!

Since Southsun is now a ghost town and it seems almost nobody does the event, it is now near impossible to get the Settler’s gear.

Anet, you really need to make this a little easier.

It’s because you are wearing those new gloves which are bugged.

So why did the OP delete his first post?

Nevermind, I see he put all his builds into one post.

All Berserker’s you’ll do great damage until you die 10 sec later.

All damage can be great 1v1 though.

selan.8354:

actually i think confusion is an excellent condition for a mesmer.i mean it makes sense, but unfortunately it got hit with the nerf bat quiet hard. it needs a serious buff as it is the only condition we can deal reliably. random conditions is just not helping enough with the current meta.

Confusion was the only real good condition a mesmer had before the nerf.

You can’t use two Force Sigils at the same time. Also Accuracy > Force. I would lose Rabid jewelry for Power/Prec/Crit Dmg.

I am assuming this is for sPvP since you chose that in the simulator?

Anet wants everyone to play thieves.

Thief is the best 1v1 roaming build.

TheDevice.2751:

They can deal damage to you while stealth……

Why on earth is it a good idea to give mesmers stealth? They have clones. So while their clones are dealing damage to you you cannot hit them. You are wasting all your time killing their clones or just running away from them.

This is the definition of Over Powered. It means there is no counter to it in this game. You cant stop a mesmer from doing all the damage he wants while he hides in his safe little stealth.

Anyways glhf.

Have you met the Thief class yet?

Clones don’t really do any damage unless you Shatter them. However you get traits later on that cause some clones to cause bleeds on crits.

I like your Fractals builds but a thief would 2-shot you in WvW.

Should have put PvE in the title.

+poison

Could you update your build with the new runes, sigils, etc.?

Also Viel. Now you have 4 stealths.

Wouldn’t Divinity Runes be even a better choice than Ruby Orbs if going that route?

Interesting. So 10 points in Dueling for Fury is better than 20 points in Domination for Greatsword Training? Also, would not your previous Runes of the Pack help the group out more with Might, Fury and Swiftness?

I also run Sigils of Battle on both GS and Sword but I find that for PvE I don’t swap often enough to keep up 6+ stacks so I understand the Sigil changes.

vincecontix.1264:

lol selan don’t bring thiefs into to this post. Off topic though no memser shouldn’t be complaining about thiefs as a class mesmers having everything they need to dispose of them quite easily.

Define easily.

A well played thief can easily defeat a well played mesmer.

I don’t think F3 Daze is classified as an Interrupt.

If you don’t like the portal, don’t take the portal.

Pretty simple, isn’t it?

This.

Pyroatheist.9031:

Yeah, while I like the skill, it’s utterly useless in anything other than a 1v1 dueling scenario.

This. Also it being on a block is really weak.

Level 13 and haven’t really spent any trait points yet.

Looking for a decent way to level. Any suggestions on weapons, armour and especially traits?

The buff to Blind where you can no longer auto-attack the air to remove blind is nice. It gives the thief class a nice needed buff.

Archemist.4362:

Thought this would be common knowledge.

Run a focus
2 Sup monk runes, 2 sup water runes. Use 2 of whatever runes, i dont care.
Use +20% Boon duration food

Temporal Curtain = 22 seconds of swiftness.
20 seconds CD ( + 1 second for the delay between int othe void)

Enjoy perma swiftness.

Another bandaid solution that we shouldn’t have to use.

jportell.2197:

Considering this is mainly a quality of life issue i would like to see something implemented in pve only (in pvp the maps are small enough to not stress it) . Like signet of insp only giving swiftness ooc (should be an easy adjustment)

I totally disagree with your statement. Out of combat swiftness is very important in WvW. The maps are not ‘small’. I actually see it as more important in WvW than PvE but I would never say this should be a WvW feature only.

I mean s/tPvP of course it should be implemented in wvw

Thing is, if other classes have 100% swiftness so that they can get to a node quickly, why not give it to a Mesmer as well?

A thief will likely stealth and remove those conditions.

The change to Blurry Frenzy was overdone. Increasing the CD was acceptable. Changing it to an evade made it much more useless. Doing both plus making IC almost impossible to get unless you put 25 points into Illusions was overkill.

I’m getting huge lag spikes right now. What I type in chat takes 30 sec to show up.

g e o.2589:

Blink paths to place where you can walk to within given amount of time and range, all teleport skills do the same. If someone can teleport there then you can walk to it easily.

This is pretty much the rule of thumb for Blink. the example in this thread is not a bug.

Levitas.1953:

Stealth.9324:

Lucky that u are still useful on small Scale, Eles is a joke when it comes to roam as well as a joke come to Zerg as well. The only thing I can see Eles being useful is being their farming Token bag.

You must be that kind of player that anet usually listen when they do balance changes.
Blurred frenzy has a counter in itself, you cant move while using it. Also, the target cant move away or the damage is null. I know different ways to avoid what you think is “the unavoidable combo” as a mesmer, other classes cant? I guess we should first nerf blurred frenzy, then start to nerf our various leaps, teleports, immunities and so on. This must be the solution, dont you think. A CD increase was probably needed (even if a lot of bursty skills are on a low cd), the double nerf is a bit too much.

Triple nerf to Blurred Frenzy if you include it now being an evade, increased 12 sec CD and the minor trait Illusionist’s Celerity being hard to impossible to get now unless you are Shatter.

iMage is still bleh so that evens it out.

Skoteinos.4213:

Build Updated for June 25th, 2013 Patch!

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/mesmer/OP-Phantasm-Mesmer-Build-Fractal-Dungeon/first

Is picking up Signet of Midnight over Signet of Inspiration worth it?

Killed the last group and now Kiel is bugged and we cannot get her to open the door to the last boss. PVE IS HARD.

I believe MOA was strong in spvp/tpvp.

Temporal Curtain then Into the Void pull to cc the group.
MOA the guardian then kill the MOA.
Win?

curtegg.5216:

The change sucks because evade allows conditions to tick during 2 seconds while you stand there in blurred frenzy whereas invulnerability did not allow the conditions to tick during its time.

Are you sure? I believe pre-patch that you still took damage during Blurry Frenzy on pre-existing conditions.
