Guild Wars 2

What a giant disappointment!

@Fivedawgs I totally get the part where 1 class might be more OP than the other, like pre- HOT, Cele-ele was the OP class, and necro was the UP class, and every other classes are in similar power level. After HOT, there was a huge power creep between classes, and im asking Anet to do something about it.

@ Crinn, Well at some point, majority of the classes are decently balance, but now it’s half of the classes are OP and the other half is completely trash. As a player, i just want most classes are on the similar power level.

I’m hoping for a balance patch on Feb 23rd but as Anet said before quarterly balance patch, i don’t think there will be a balance patch, sadly.

PREDICTING*!!!!

I’m predicting Druid, Reaper, Revenant, and Scrapper are meta in Season 2. Everything else is trash ~.

IMO, i think condi is alot easier to play than power build. People whine cuz they don’t know how to deal with it.

I’m a mesmer player, just curious why does teleport count as a cross-over, especially with guardian traps? Dragon Maw- teleport out will knock you down, Test of Faith- teleport out of it, you will take damage… it doesn’t make sense… Anet fix please

more condi spam !!!

Nice vid, but i would like to point to you that the reason people complain about mesmer is because other classes out perform us not because mesmer don’t do damage. It’s poor design on Anet side, in order to get rid of bunker chrono, they butcher the whole class.

The condi mesmers are still a viable counter to a thief through blinds

Sad how aNet nerfed Mesmer’s blind too, heh.

Just take a tour in the Mesmer forum, and you will be lucky to find a single positive word on the actual state of this class.

Chronobunker was OP and we all agree, but kill a whole class to “balance the game” it is just a lazy way to nerf.

+1 for Moky

Lexander is a ball of bitterness LOL

RIP Well of Precognition

Im running the power GS shatter with dom, chaos, and chrono

Can AT get the same treatment as necro Corrupted Boons? Reduce its CD down to 20s or 25s, because i believe Corrupted Boons will get nerf some times in the future, no need to make it 15s.

I fear that you are not contextualizing the skill with Chronomancer: if you consider the continuum spil + alacrity this skill would you use all the time … unfortunately I’m afraid of many things programmers have put a brake because of this.
They must fix something: use 2 times un’abità unusless does not make a profit and skills that recharge the too long due to the fact that there is alacrity, cancels the advantage of her and makes the basic mesmer a class even more useless, I would say that 30 seconds they’re fine, but I do not want the cast time.

You’re wrong. Alacrity and CS just make this skill even more of a waste of space on your bar when you could take something worthwhile to spend those cooldowns on instead.

+1 Instead of AT, you can take Mimic, do a triple blink and get the kitten out. AT really need the same treatment as Corrupted Boons.

@ francescoG Here ‘s my opinion about the current Arcane Thievery. This skill is extremely useless, it’s an unreliable condition removal, it has to land in order to swap to happen and its cast doesn’t make thing any easier. Another thing i want to point about this skill, i believe this skill is outdated, remember RaO, Signet of Rage, Armor of Earth … give a fix boon duration (10s stability, might or swiftness…), you can use this skill and steal their big boon and you would be good to go. Now, since boons are pulsing, stealing one of their pulse is useless, and it’s not worth running this skill.

Can AT get the same treatment as necro Corrupted Boons? Reduce its CD down to 20s or 25s, because i believe Corrupted Boons will get nerf some times in the future, no need to make it 15s.

I don’t think there will another balance patch, sadly. PvP is kinda messed up right now, i want to play the game but balance doesn’t want me to… so BnS i guess

Im sry, do you even mesmer, brah?

Here’s my 2 cents
i believe Clones build – Shatter build (power or condi) is much better than Phantasm build. My problem with Phantasm build is at the Mesmer’s core mechanic, Shatter (F1-F4), with Phantasm build is almost encourage not to use it, like if you’re forced to use shatter to interrupt or distortion, you’re trading your offense for defense. Also, there’s things like heal on shatter, boons on shatter, condi on shatter, basically if you run Phantasm build, you’re just limiting yourself on things you can do.

Am i the only one who think that Necro Staff marks are too spam-my ?

I also agree that the Alacrity nerf was uncalled for, did it help it get it rid of bunker chrono? yes it did, but at the same it also ruin or lower other build performance.

After HOT, i feel like it doesn’t take skill to play or out play. It’s sad ….

I would like to see a rework or change on Shortbow. In my opinion, I don’t see the point of taking “Light On Your Feet” if you decide to run SB setup. Currently, SB is a hybrid sustain damage weapon. LOYF- +10% damage and condition duration when SB have no burst; its main source of condition damage (bleed) is from spamming skill #1, i think SB doesn’t make use out of that 4s of LOYF and the SB#3 dodge doesn’t proc with LOYF. IMO, it’s just a horrible trait for SB even though it’s supposed to be the go-to trait if you run SB.

I believe Alacrity reduces ur CD at 40% before nerf, and Chill increases ur CD by 40%. If you have both of them on at the same time, they cancel each other.

@Duke idk if you ever have like 10s or 15s of Chill on you, but it’s really fun.

Well, since Alacrity got nerf down to 33%, shouldn’t chill also get nerf down to 33%?

I refuse to play bunker chrono whenever it was in the meta, but now i’m just salty that in order to get rid of it. Anet just nerf the whole chrono thing to the ground. I blame bunker chrono for ruin other damage chrono build.

I main Mesmer, i agree Bunker mesmer is broken af. On the other hand, power/condi mesmer is as bad as thief or warrior.

@Alex Shatter Idk why you’re complaining about Blurr. Other classes have something similar, some classes have more than 1 evade skill in their base weapons. Ranger- sword#2 & #3, dagger #4, GS#1 & #3. Then Warrior GS#4, and Thief have like infinite evade skills. All classes have a mix of evade and block skills, Mesmer have 1 evade skill (sword#2), 1 block from Shield #4, and 2 invul skills.

Am I the only one here that finds the whole node capture game mode boring to watch? Like I have seen a few exciting moments, but those like final style matches.
Anything before that doesn’t really catch my eye and are usually one sided anyways.

+1

One last kiss to my beautiful mesmer good bye it was fun

Bunker never alone

When i see thief or warrior on my team, i know i’m going to lose pip. Just making early surrender option, there is no point of playing a game that you can’t win. #BunkerWars2

In ranked, i feel like if you don’t run meta build, you’re not going to win…. There isn’t room for other build which means me sad.
I main mesmer, i really enjoy the good old power shatter build. But in ranked games, everyone is just stacking and super tanky (stability, dodge, evade, block, perma protection…), it’s impossible to play power shatter mesmer. The one mesmer build you can take in ranked is bunker mesmer… sigh so much for build diversity

I feel like if they wait until the league is over to do balancing the game, pvp might die by then

u just burst my bubble QQ

This game pvp makes me really sad …

I LOVE RAID ON THE CAPRICORN !!!! BRING IT BACK

As mesmer main player, I think Alacrity by itself is alright, it’s 3s Alacrity for 1s CD. For Phantasm build, shatter your Phantasms for couple second of Alacrity isn’t even worth. My problem with Alacrity is the trait that gives Alacrity to allies at the end of the well. Redesign All’s Well That End Well, well gives 3s of Slow instead of 2s of Alacrity, and make Well of Recall gives 7s of Alacrity ( PVE purpose)

There is a second of invulnerable between regular HP and downed state, ppl just get insta revive within that 1s. There’s no counter play to that x.x

Why anyone just get insta revive when they go to downed state? especially if they have bunker chrono on their side. Really destroy the game…

I was duo q with a friend, we got match against a full 5 men pre-made 3 games in a row. The rest of our team is just solo q. Pretty sad

Does anyone experience invisible knockdown, just keep getting knockdown and there’s nothing in there?? it’s so frustrated of all these pvp BS

It’s time to abandon gw2 and back on LOL

It’s CS>Mimic>end CS>Blink(cosume 1st mimic)>Mimic>Blink>Blink

I just want to say, after HOT launch, my pvp experience have been… i’m looking for a word… How’s about? I’M kittenING SALTY FROM ALL THE BUNKER.

It’s not worth^^. Right now, pvp is a mess. There are better things to do if you just come back. Hopefully, Season 2 will be better.

It called marketing. Elite spec is better than Core spec, so ppl buy expansion. You can say it’s a form of pay-to-win ^^

Oops i kitten lol, fixed
