I am looking for a hardcore pvp group to practice with and be able to compete at the highest levels! I am hoping to be able to compete in the weekly cups on Sundays. I like being able to have fun but also being able to be serious about your gameplay.
As far as my class goes, I know just about everything there is to know about mesmer. I have over 3k hours logged on it. I can play any build on mesmer. I have played with a highly competitive team and have learned how to work with each class.
Things I’m looking for:
1. practice practice practice!
2. a team with good map awareness
3. ability to dissect a situation for future improvement!
Things about me again:
1. Due to my schedule i mainly log on around 12:00 am central and play for about 7 hours. On my days off I can play whenever I’m needed.
2. I am on every day.
3. I’m committed.
4. I know my class in and out and am able to theory craft (even though most builds are not viable. ha)
5. I wana be the very best. Like no one ever was.
here’s a pretty pic of what my games overall look like
Thats not being a very good team player bro. You leave home uncapped when you say your going to cap? You might as well just afk all match. You most likely don’t cap far your team lose mid and home well it was never capped so even if the other team runs same tactic (go far) then they will cap far with no resistance. #notwinning
I don’t think you understand the significance of being able to hold 2+ people at far point. that gives your team a really good advantage to win the team fights mid and what not. Pushing far is an excellent tactic.
When you are spectating someone it a match, you will notice that the option to change their skills is available. if you attempt to do it, you will crash.
Yes ofc. But at the same time, how is that an argument for this not being the intended behaviour. Specifically, do you really think someone did this to nerf Mesmers? That seems awfully convoluted a way to do it. :P
It’s obvious what the ‘intended’ behavior was now, but making arguments that say ‘oh, the tooltip said this, so I knew all along it was wrong’ are completely absurd.
It’s also obvious that this wasn’t done specifically to nerf mesmers. However, it’s very clear that it was done with complete and total disregard to the actuality of the game. It’s very clear that the developers don’t appreciate the mechanics and functionality of skills and balance.
This. Even if it wasn’t intended, couldn’t they have just changed the tooltip again to match what the skill did? idk for the sake of balance? Baffles me everytime I think about this nerf. I would at least like a response from one of the devs about this issue.
As title states, sometimes when i use my mass invis on my mes i will instantly be revealed. This has happened several times and and makes my elite worthless. I have made sure that i did not have a shatter queued.
I believe that sometimes when my clones attack it’s like I’m the one attacking and being revealed.
My only concern is if people continue to complain about mesmer, we may get nerfed again. Even tho i can already be hit for 10k~ backstabs. Not including fire and air procs. But thats another issue.
I would suggest you watch some higher tier mesmer gameplay. One off the top of my head would be helseth. Shatter mes is usually roamer. Although this is an old video this is exactly how shatter mes should be played.
If someone was heading home and it was just me i would assume it will eventually get decapped due to 2 distortions and decoy, but if i know i can win the 1v1 i would win and recap.
As far as how you should move, normally what i do is watch for free caps and try to sneak over. of course sometimes you get caught, but if you can kite some back to their home base i think that’s a win. Otherwise help your team burst down targets from around the sidelines.
I’m not very good with explanations but this is just my 2 cents! I’m sure someone else will be able to explain it better.
edit: i completely forgot that supcutie released a mesmer guide. its a pretty good read. lots of good tips and tricks. http://bit.ly/mesmerguide
I went through the guide again and looked it up for you. as far as dealing with thieves in tpvp you should read page 45 of this guide. Hope it helps!
I personally haven’t noticed it much. Generally if it veers off course for me, it’s actually moving pretty fast and gets to the target properly, just what I’ve seen.
After some more testing, I saw that even tho it goes off course it does zoom back to the target. I’m just used to swapping a little bit faster. So not really gamebreaking i guess.
Has anyone else noticed that IL seems to veer of course even more? several times when i was fighting the test dummies in hotm it seems to go either to the far right or left of what i am attacking. Also i was on flat ground.
Normally I hate on skyhammer. This time as soon as I entered the match I fell through the spawn area and ended up under the map. After swimming around for a bit I didn’t even mind hanging around on the map anymore. So i share with you one of the few times I have had fun on skyhammer. kitten got trippy.
It ruined my life. I’m having a hard time keeping up with the bills because i spend too much time trying to beat it. I don’t know how much longer I’m going to make it…
Yep. And the disturbing bit is that the team supposedly was looking into this months ago. Apparently they decided it wasn’t worth fixing.
After the latest patch video, when i heard them talking about mesmer it seemed like they didn’t quite know how the class works. I doubt another issue will be fixed anytime soon. Like sword 3, doesn’t chase uphill or if you swap weapons and use it immediately nothing will spawn and it will go on cooldown.
I’m not sure if this is a bug or not, but today i switched servers with some guildies. However doing so my guild lost all the upgrades we ever had for it. Is this normal?
