Apothecary,cleric and soldier mix with cele trinkets can do the thing. I am using this while trying to gather quartz. Only thing you need to do is open a builder site and manage your stats according to celestial stats.

Celestial staff ele. I like supporting and healing the team more than dps or tanking. And also engineer, for the same reasons.

Why do mesmers have so much stealth?

alain.1659

Two of my close friends had a mesmer main, and I had a mesmer second. We do not play it anymore. And I am really sick and tired of seeing pu mesmers constantly with 12+ secs stealth spam and insta-bursts. You can argue about balance, nerd etc. Dd ele and mesmers are everywhere. Can be killed but come on, it is boring. I nearly cried with pure joy when two engineers attacked me yesterday. Was a rare occasion.

Staff or D/D? (pvp)

I use hoelbrak runes mostly, but they are both good. Although instead of pirate you can use strength runes for the uptime and damage. Pack is also another option if you want to try something different.

You can do fire/air/arcane ( blinding ashes, fresh air, evasive arcana), it is dangerous but fun. Or you can do air/water/arcane with cantrips and celestial amulet to be more tanky but you will have to use pack runes or something to buff your crit damage. There are several different builds on this subject, you can google it easily if you want to play.

ps: scepter focus may seem heavily nerfed after the patch, but you can “almost” compansate the nerfs with your playstyle.

Best condition classes

Heh, I thought someone would say that. Tricky part is the word “conditions”. Represents “different type of conditions”, in that sentence.

Staff or D/D? (pvp)

in Elementalist

Posted by: alain.1659

alain.1659

I would like to say that it depends on you skill or playstyle. But D/D set is superior to staff. I still play celestial (or zerker, if I am in a very confident mood) staff because I do not like daggers. Staff brings more to your team if you use it right, at least for me. DD can do many things that a staff ele can do, with much ease, but it’s team support is lower than staff.

By the way if you will try ele in pvp, try scepter/focus fresh air. Hard to learn, fun to play. My favourite pvp build is s/f. Only bad part is that you can not play it constantly because it causes my hand to ache. Too many buttons, too little time

Best condition classes

in PvP

Posted by: alain.1659

alain.1659

Depends on the conditions you want to apply. I always loved confusion and torment, and mesmer can apply them in a stupid speed nowadays (I can not even play my old condi mesmer build, it is too easy).

Necromancers are very good at applying conditions, and they also excel at tanking due to their second life bar. They can shut down most condition classes with ease.

Ranger can inflict stupidous amount of bleeds in just three seconds. You can also use traps, interesting mechanic. They are very strong now, though no one admits.

Guardians + burn = Roflstomp. Tank all you like, burn all you like, Santa Clause is coming to town.

Ele: As a pure condi class… Mehh. Not the worst thing but boring as hell. Anet forgot to design a proper condi build for ele’s so you have to play by ear in a way.

Thief: Few things are more bothersome than a P/P condi thief. Feels boring to me, but they are very strong, if you know how to play a thief.

Engineer: Oh my god. I still have no idea why nobody complained about this profession yet. It is not easy to play, I really suck at it. But it is fun, powerful, and you can use your wits to do amazing things. Not the best condition class, but strong.

Warrior: well, never played a condi warrior. Never liked the concept of warrior. They are my good friends and loyal brothers in arms. Thats all.

This was a short, self-centered, power level explaining for these condition classes. If you want to know more about a specific class, I recomment you to visit their own part of the forum.

Ehem…

D/D ele needs nerfs. Please do not touch staff builds. Life is already hard for staff builds. Also;

Mesmer still needs a nerf (playing mesmer, some builds are just “wow”)
Other builds are strong but not too invincible I guess. Guardian maybe. Never liked those guys. Too shiny and goody.

Oh come on! Stop blaiming the op. It is a perfectly unjust thing to dismiss his well explained and intellectually equipped ideas on the topic of mesmer profession and “it’s imbalance”. His sentence is full of metaphors, and you, blubbers can not comprehend the hidden meaning.

“Theres nothing you cant hide and run from if youre not an idiot.”

To understand it you must take the first and the fourth letter of the first word, than combine it with the second letter of the second word. Then after this you must cut of the head and the arms of the letter “f” two times, because he mentioned two thinds, speed and stealth, and get the letter “l” twice. Then you can see his metaphors behind his seemingly disorganized sentence. But you did not. Noobs.

Confusion was way better before. If there was an option I would use the old condi system where it damages much more. I have been playing condi mesmer for a long long time. Zerker pu is too hard to counter ok, but if you can not beat condi build then it means you either do not have a condi cleanse, or you are an engineer

Guardian,necro and survival ranger are all kicking condi mesmers tushy easily. At least I do with those classes.

I have been playing condi mesmer for 10 months. It was not very powerful before, now it has solid punch. ( I am still amazed that an insane developer thought giving mesmers blinding dis. + ineptitude + PU together. That is why power builds also kick tushy.) It was fun back then ( required much more skillful play though) and it is fun now.

It is very easy to shut down PU mesmer, especially if you can see his play style. Just barf some condi dmg on him. That build has a very poor condi cleanse. A good condi build can really kill him with quite ease ( if two player have same skill cap). Main problem is that no one plays according to confusion and torment. They continue running around you and spamming auto’s or fast skills. If you are too troubled with condi mesmer builds, just grab a burn guardian build. You will insta-kill any mesmer without very good skills.

By the way, I am not saying you were bad or something, but guardian in current meta can really kick condi mesmers pretty easily. But if you are a burn guardian, you can kill him, laugh at him, raise his body, and kill him again just for kicks.

Some will think it is odd, but try guardian or vampire signet necro. They are both good at surviving, and they have their own unique powers. They both can shut down mesmers and ele’s. Burning is not bad in guardian, and necro’s signets are fun to use. All meta mesmer builds lack condi cleanse, and dd ele builds depend on boons. So you can counter them if you play right.

If you are really good, all will desire the engineer. But you must be aware of the fact that being an engineer means playing the game in unnecessary hard mode. Planning, build managing, fast reflexes, good gear, good combo memorization, reading the opponent and acting according to it. All is a must, not a choice, if you are an engineer.

Or you can be an engineer like me; pushing rocket jump all the time and yelling “weeeeeeeeeee”. It is also fun.

Malicious Sorcery ... A QoL Trait?

Posted by: alain.1659

alain.1659

Combined with the Blinding Dis. trait, Ineptitude gives you more confusion, blind, and burst chance, especially if you are playing full condi. I love the name of Malicious Sorcery, and scepter is my favourite Mesmer weapon, but it is neither a gm trait, nor a useful one for my taste. I wish it was a good one though.

Which mesmer? Guardian can really kick condi mesmer’s tushy, a well playing ranger will not die to a mesmer, engineer with burn build will really hurt mesmer… Goes on like this. There are many builds that can counter mesmer easily but in the end it comes to a personal skill lvl issue I guess. Ones that I gave as an example are the ones that I have played myself (except guardian. But I have many friends who play it).

There are only 2 ways of realisticly balancing any professions.

1- Cut down the trait lines to 2 at max.

2- Bring the 6th trait line to all classes.

Anet planned all the profession balances according to the 6th trait line that will be coming. But Almighty knows why, they did only release 5, to keep the hype, or to work on the others more. Now most of the professions do not have any balance because of this problem. They shouldn’t have released this big patch without all trait lines and skills.

I have been playing condi mesmer for a quite amount of time. Never liked shatter builds and I love stealth play. Before the patch we were terrible. Now we are horrible. Blind needs ICD and stealth is too much, both with thief and mesmer. But they can be killed. Nobody wants to use condi removal or any other tactical skills because they want the highest damage. Choose engineer especially a burn build. Pooff! No more condi mesmer (thats how I roam). Rangers pets are perfect for snare and fear to break their chains. And guardians… they should not die to a condi mesmer in 1v1. Their burn is lovely. A warrior can disengage because no mesmer can outrun him. Dd ele still do not die easily.

I have been adjusting my gamestyle to the new changes. Rune and sigils, set stats, all changes according to them. Even slot skills. Noe I am perfectly fine with all my professions (ranger is still more advantageous at roaming though) except some imbalances in some skills.

Ps: nobody thinks that an engineer can be powerful but with the latest patch engineers are “holy crap what the kitten did that guy hit me”.

Realistic way to nerf Mesmers

alain.1659

Many professions have a stun+burst combo. Rangers lb4 /fear + rapid shot, or thief’s steal + I kill your family shots. Maybe problem is that if you escape those skills, you are safe for 20 seconds. But mesmers mantra has 3 charges so that requires stability to cancel. And there are still many players who (in the name of maximum damage optinization) does not have any condi removal or stun break. Maybe some of you with a large guild should try these combos with proper characters and equipments i. Zerker is not the only set type. There are beautiful combo’s, runes and sigils. That might give results.

Ps: I was a condi pu mesmer player when others mop the floor with us so I am quite happ. Except the bug of blind it seems ok.

Anyone else just "simply" play?

I assume that “serious” players use ranked, and guys who play for fun like me play unranked. Playing for fun is not the same thing with trolling, or ruining game for others by the way. Many people assume that if you are not using meta builds, you are a crappy player.

People should be more relaxed in pvp. Trying to win is not the same thing with being a horrible human being across the keyboard, and saying things that you would not dare in your normal life.

I have played condi/pu mesmer for a long time. Whoever thought that giving zerkers/shatterers an option to take PU is not a clever man. You should never mixed pu and shatter builds together. A simple trait adjustment can solve this problem maybe.

Dont let zerker mesmer traits mix with pu
dont let pu condi mesmer traits mix with shatter

These two will solve the problem. Condi pu is not as strong as other condition professions.
Also if you are going to make these changes, tone down guardian and engi burn builds too. I played burn engi. And it was… well on fire.

Are mesmers really that OP?

in Mesmer

Posted by: alain.1659

alain.1659

I loved PU before all these condi patches and buffs. It was my way of having fun. Not too strong, but not terribly weak. I still run my old PU build with slight changes, and it is still fun. There are way stronger professions than condition PU mesmer. But three things Anet should not have done;

- Giving full power builds a chance to use PU traits, especially stealth.
-Giving every build a buff at shatter skills.
-Giving too many blind options for every build.

These are the same thematic problems that DD ele has. Before, there were 2.2 trait lines. Now there are 3. So some builds are not balanced. For me, it is the same. I still play my old build.

But again Anet is trying to force everybody to find new builds and new armor sets. If you are stuck with old builds and gears too much, It will not help. Also condi cleanse is a must. I still see many players going out with condi cleanse. Maybe that hurts too.

Why do mesmers have so much stealth?

in PvP

Posted by: alain.1659

alain.1659

Problem is that mesmers used to sacrifice damage to take PU build. Latest changes enabled power-ish builds to take PU traits, and abilities. Too many stealth (still thief has a better stealt capacity though, at least for me).

If a mesmer traits for stealth, he can be invisible for a long time. And that bloody mantra combo kills many unaware people. I used to play PU way before these changes (it was not very powerful but fun for me). We can do decent PU builds that people wont be ridicule nowadays, but now Mesmers have some very very powerful builds. Anet should’ve brought that last traitline. All the imbalance is caused by that trait line being missing. They calculated including that traits, so now there is a tremendous imbalance.

Power Rangers > Rampage Wars?

in PvP

Posted by: alain.1659

alain.1659

There are some facts that are not known about power rangers. First of all, they can have a %100 fury uptime (especially with rune of rage, which give %5 bonus damage when under fury). They have decent amount of condition cleansing (with wilderness survival), their ability to survive is on par with any zerker class (more than some, due to block-signet of stone- swoop away- pet fear combo).

I used to think that power rangers were weak. But they are not. They might be boring for some, and pets are really idiotic, but a power ranger should beat a moderate warrior with rampage. (personal skill levels not included).

If you have not played a mesmer before, do not know what she does, than it is uncounterable and the most op thing you can imagine nowadays. If you know what she does, and really know how she does, then she is a very formidable opponent. Especially the ability to disengage at will is pretty scary.

Fed up with the poor state of Rangers

in Ranger

Posted by: alain.1659

alain.1659

Pets suck. They really suck. They are not completely useless, due to their f2 skills and their ability to land a special attack once a millenia, when 9 planets (yeh I love pluto) align together. Problem is their situation being same. They should’ve been fixed by now. It works but not much. Still if you are a decent ranger you can manage something.

There are two kinds of people on the longbow topic. First type is those who claim it should not be powerful because it has a very long range, too much burst, epic skills and the ability to swing like a spider with iron man’s armor. It really can give you invis, shoot a cc, not really bad burst. So these people are not wrong. It is meant to be a powerful weapon, and it is not bad.

Second kind of people are those who knows the value of gap closers. You are a guardian? Call your judge and intervent this kitten . You are a thief? Lol, you know what to do. Ele? blink blink blink, blink the bloody waaay…. goes on like this. Problem is that the burst can be healed-dodged instantly by every class and these people know that. ( And seriously if you die because of the longbow damage, before you get close, you need to practice a little more. I did, and it helped.) There are some builds that are not very good against range damage though.

Shortbow is the new guy, nobody likes him. Sword’s autoattack is something that a monk should use. Single target ranged dps is not quite well enough overall, but more would really hurt the game itself.

These are all “ranger” problems for my taste. Other bugs and issues are normal for anet. Nearly every profession has some kind of uber-bugs and it feels normal now, sadly. Incompetence grows on you dear Anet.

But Ranger needs rework. Pet mechanic and especially AI should be fixed. Some weapons should be adjusted.

And for the love of God, I know you people despise longbows but I love them. For me the Ranger archetype is made with the longbow. Ithilien Rangers, beasthunters, dnd, all I love is a ranger with a longbow, who is not op, but brings some “invaluable” utility to his party. You know, someone you should trust, not scream with frustration when you see him in your party.

Every kitten profession in the game have some kind of reflection and projectile buggering.

Ah, yes. Can’t forget those OP Necro reflects and blocks.

I am sorry, I can not hear you over the second life bar. Let me move a little… Oh crap, life bar again.

Seriously stop attacking. It is not about necros vs rangers or buffing rangers. It is about debugging them and giving a more skillful rework. I am perfectly aware that necro,ranger and engineer are not in a very good place those three are my favourite professions sadly.

You are doing far more attacking than I am. I’m just pointing out that Necros don’t actually have reflects, blocks, or projectile destruction. Heck, this isn’t even a complaint.

kitten , I did it again. Sorry about that, sometimes my joke-style becomes a little tushyhole-ish. That is the problem with phone-foruming, can not write properly.

Rangers need to be reworked. Too many bugs to buff. It is like a building with a flawed foundation. No matter how much you add, it will collapse.

You know how this happens. A decent player is killed by golem bug. She reports. Again she or her zerg is killed. She reports again. This goes on until the decent player realizes the truth: Anet does not care about her. Anet does not give a rats bottom about her. She is alone. She has three choices; leaving wvw (or entire game), continue her resistance and devising strategies, or join the abusers. Because there is no punishment, and those who abuse it are gaining too much unjust goodies. If you are too much of an egoist like me, you would say “I would never stain my character with that bug.”
but if you love this game more than me, trust more than I do, then your love turns to bitter anger. And you start to abuse. Although I do not agree with you, I totaly understand you friends.

What you are claiming my friend, is not very clever. You say that ranger is very easy to play? Against whom may I ask? It is easy to press buttons like a total moron, not caring about your environment, not knowing which skill to interrupt, when to swap pets, when to use your utility skills. But doing them in right order to defeat your foe, is not easy.

Early signet of stone? Gg wp. You have been brutally murdered by thief 5 seconds later. Wrong f2 skill? Oh well sorry but you are dead again. Bad rangers are easy to play. Playing a good ranger is the “HARDEST” thing in this game due to the fact that ranger is the worst class nowadays.

So what you are claiming is not wise, it is easy to play " a ranger". Not a good one. People have cought up with quickness ages ago. But know why? Every kitten profession in the game have some kind of reflection and projectile buggering. Stomping? Well it helps there but maybe you should ask warriors about quickness.

For myself, when I see a ranger in the game I feel relieved. There are scenerios that a zerker ranger is not able to kill his opponent due to the profession mechanics. And rangers damage is not the highest nowadays. Before the patch, ranger would deal insane damage compared to other classes. But now all the professions can hit you with a truck easily. And believe me, if they want to put pressure on ranger, they easily can. Without a question. In low tiers your claims are true, in medium, they are not. In high tier, well I have never been to high tier pvp but friends and videos do not include any high tier pvp rangers.

What you say about condi rangers is true. Easy and boring for me. But it is a choice.

Pets… well friend those kitten things are slower and more stupid than a dead racoons kitten so no need to discuss that. They should be either reworked or completely removed. Most of the pet mechanics are bugged anyway.

But in the end, I think you are right. Rangers do not need any kind of BUFFS. What rangers need is a REWORK. A rework with all the class mechanics. I love playing ranger, especially with a bow. In dnd I played ranger, in lotr I loved Ithilien Rangers… So as you see it is an issue of love.

Meh. Nobody will be punished. We will be the only ones who suffered and cared. Anet is going down for me, due to many things. They do not care about this game anymore. They are obsessed with HoT only. Last 1,5 month was full of bugs, imbalances, problems, glitches…etc. and what did anet do? Posted a generic message.

I lost my loot in Teq, due to a bug. I have seen players in wvw,pvp winning due to a bug. Anet did not care. So I finally understood this games style; If there is a bug, abuse it mindlessly until it is removed.
It is sad that my personal dignity lvl does not permit me to do so.

Pets. Major problem is the kitten -more stupid than a chipped rock with a mud on it- pets. Other changes, some are really good, some are bad, are debatable. But we can really do some serious damage, and could do more if the pet mechanics were actually working.

But the main problem is not the ranger, but the other professions. Some can not be killed , no matter how hard you try. Ranger used to be a hard counter for many professions, but now it is gone. So what do we have now?

Our skills. Now it is really hard and risky to play a ranger. Even what you call “pew pew”. But it is kitten fun.

In the name of Great Om! Am I seeing a thief complaining about LB range? Rapid fire? Friend… Do not do this. Although my love for my ranger is great, I have also played thief (there was a time that I thought pet(s) system was broken. Now I know it is utterly and totaly useless).

As a thief, range should not be a problem for you, especially when Anet sweetly buffed the steal range. In many pvp matches, they ask thieves to close (counter) rangers, “EXCEPT TOP TIER GAMES”, where I have never been to. I am only a medium player. But in top tier game videos, I have never seen that much of a ranger quantity either.

Before complaining, which is your right, you should try to play ranger. If you can not counter a build, go and play it, learn the tricks of the trade. I always do that. It really helps.

ps: I am neither insulting, nor saying l2p noob wtf omg. I am suggesting to you that learning the tricks of a build can really improve your ability to counter it.

If you are using wilderness survival, you should get Rune of Rage. It gives you %20 fury duration and %5 dmg under the effects of fury. With wilderness survival & clarion bond, you can have a %100 fury uptime, which means constant crit buff and %5 damage buff. Maybe you can think of using that.

If you want a build that can support, go celestial earth water arcane, or fire water arcane. Then heal, buff, cc zergs etc. If you can adjust properly your damage wont decrease too much.

But you can go full zerker and like previous friend said position yourself properly and support your team by killing enemies. Playstyle differences actually (in daily wvw).

Again I advise you to read my posts after that. To me you did not only strike as arrogant, but also as many more things, which was due to my sudden anger again. But again as I told, If a person can open a profession, enter pvp without too much experience, and bother others too much, there should be something with that class. And my balance opinion was not nerfing burn but changing something else, which seems like sustain. Other classes, yes there are many that can counter dd ele, should also be taken under consideration. You can play bunker in many options but “YOU” can not be killed. Not everybody else, not every noob can do it. With celestial dd ele, everybody can do it. That is the problematic part for me. Experience + technique can result in many good things, I have no opposition to that. But if you take out the experience and only memorize the technique, you should not be gettin a very good result.

I understand you point, and you are right on several of them, but the adjustments should not be done regarding the highest tier spvp players. There are many more who run these builds on medium tier spvp or wvw and these are the areas that people tend to experience problems. Highest tier will find its way no matter what.

I am not playing dd celestial ele by the way ( Played for some time, never quite loved it). I have been playing scepter focus for quite some time, and really love it.

You might be right. Even now an experienced player can easily avoid fire fields. Another nerf might destroy it completely. Well the clever solution would be nerfing the survivability of the ele instead of damage. But against some builds it will completely cripple us. Easiest thing would be to change condition priorities maybe?

I was talking to the guy who called everyone who wants a balance scrub(s), and claimed he was far more skilled than most ( which he can be, and maybe he is, but it is not relevant). They should balance something at least, to make more classes and builds viable. Nerfing burn to the ground may not be the right choice by the way. That will erase any hopes for a condi build with ele. But again I do not know what the real solution can be.

Oh and there is a fine distinction between insulting and sarcasm. But I tend to get known with my anger so maybe you are right.
