Guild Wars 2

I’ve got a question for you. As a warrior do you randomly run at mesmer head on?

Miku Lawrence.6329:

You should focus on something suited for you, pve.

you made my day lol.

I ate master tuning crystal and super veggie pizza but when I hovered over to my stats to check my condition it didn’t seem to change. Does it not show at all or am I just bugged

what should I do to get karma fast? I’ve never really needed it till now and I wanna get it quick. What’s the fastest way to earn it?

which karma merchant in cursed shore gives the exotic? I’m only aware of the greens and blues

every class and I mean every class just runs when thyre about to die while I just jog there trying to catch em. It’s ridiculous that they get a passive while we work our azz of and watch em get away

then they run and i never see em again lol, dam slow azz mezmer

you can’t match thieves/ warrior dps due to cd’s of our potential dps…

Yea I’m using a torch and totally flucking with peoples minds right now. They’re just killing my clones and getting confusion on em while I stand there making more clones for them to kill themselves with lol…

I keep getting booted out of WvWvW, and when I log back in I’m dead. My equip needs repairds and kitten. I want a refund of my gold wasted on this please thanks!

oh that was me…my bad guys

As a mesmer I wouldn’t mind this either, I have enough trouble keeping up with ppl and getting picked off from behind since I’m the slowest of the slow

how long do the buffs last btw. 5 sec seems too low if its that

it is for my slow computer ;p

its a pretty big patch wonder what it is

I was kicking 2 invaders azz in wvwvw when it kicked me. jk they were kicking mine then i got kicked off. thanks for the saved!

Does the crit proc from our crit? and does the crit power up (not crit chance) affect it as well?

I really don’t know why people are making a big deal out of might stacking, it doesn’t even last long. And if you play mesmer you’d know that skill is more important than power. I’d honestly love to have the 40-60 protection that elementalist get rather than might. This way I can prolong my survival in 2+ vs me.

I love playing with the group but with my current laptop I have a hard time doing so cause of lag. So I just end up wandering around and looking for single kills. ty btw for the advice, I’ll try out the glamour build once I get some money.

I’m only getting 3 stacks per shatter no matter how many clones are out

I have a hard time keeping confusion up for it to work properly in wvwvw. How do you guys make it work / stack enough for it to work on classes?

this is pretty sweet, I’m looking for to using mantras and signet of inspiration again.

More like when will you be expecting it… likely saturday

My mesmer thinks that since she has powers to use, she may as well abuse it… So in this story MesmerA (name undisclosed for lawsuit reasons) is travelling in wvwvw and see’s a zerg of enemies as well as allies. The enemies are inside the castle while the allies are out. Having trouble with the gate MesmerA starts thinking of ways to help. She goes next to a cliff and looks down for a space that’s small enough that in just one wrong step death awaits. Finally she finds one and puts portal down. She hurries to her allies and yells out, “Guys I was inside use my portal to get in! Come beside me so you don’t get left out, I’m dropping it in 5 secs!” In 5 seconds most, if not all, the allies were never seen from again.

-mind stab will now be renamed to mind fluck and randomly attack the ground. Causing you to go wtf…

-phantasmal warden will now lay on down on the ground and start beating it with its fist.

All stealth should be on a 30-40 sec global cd and it should break on any skills used this includes thieves. I find it hard to believe it takes 2-3 sec for thieves to appear while they wallop us without us seeing them. Then they teleport away from us, put down the teleport skill on the ground, stealth and then do the same thing over and over.

4. People who claim that they are ‘helpless’ without 2 sec invulnerability on BF. Let me help you with your rotation since you make me sad (far from being good rotation since I never played mesmer in my life and it took me about 2 min to think of this one):
1. You start with duelist when you see the enemy. Duelist is now putting pressure on melee to close in.
time 0s: Just before he closes in use BF, that is what you open with. Takes 0.5s to cast and then you ahve 2sec of invul.
time 2.5s: hit him with magic bullet. Takes 0.5s to cast and then you have him stunned for 2 sec. Then proceed to DSP with autoattack.
Time 4s (enemy stunned for 1more sec): cast your clone that leaps (0.75s cast time enemy stunned he should hit).
Time 5s (just before so enemy is still stunned): Swap so you immobilize him for 2sec. He should now be immobilized from sec 5 to sec 7.
5s-7s: Proceed to dps with autoattack or you can dodge to make a third clone and shatter. (or combination of the two).
7s-8s: get some distance from the guy and dodge if necessary.
8s: as he chases you pop BF again. (this should keep you invul till 10s).
10s: Swap to staff and phase retreat (instant, generate clone that is annoying range attacker and teleport away).
10s+ – 11s: Cast warlock.
Proceed to kite the enemy (you can dodge once to create one more clone for annoying enemy). If he closes in cast chaos storm to force him to back out. You can also use daze or invul shatter as you see fit. Chaos storm and initial distance you have should keep him away from you till second 18, at which point you can ‘phase retreat’ again. (yes yes blink away again).
20s: switch back to sword. Cast the leap guy.
21s: as leap guy closes on your target, swap for immobilize of 2s. Here you can BF again while the guy is immobilized but let us not do that, dodge away and shatter him again with clones then come back to start BF
23s: BF.
25.5 – 27.5: Back off a bit (BF finished) and cast duelist. You can dodge if you really need to.
27.5s: Stun (Magic bullet). He will be stunned between 28s-30s.
28s: autoattack for a sec till 29s. Then BF for more dmg and invul till sec 31.
31s: switch to staff and again to the teleport thing and kite (use chaos shield instead of chaos storm in this rotation and you will go back to chaos storm the next one)…..etc etc.

You guys have no tools?? Really??
Makes me laugh at how bad of a player you need to be to claim that you need more tools.
Look at the first 10s: you are pressuring with duelist who is doing singificant dmg. You are invulnerable at 0.5s-2.5s and 8s-10s. You have him stunned 3s-5s. And you have him immobilized 5s-7s. On top of that you are shattering him.
When is he supposed to do some dmg to you?
When you switch to staff you get immediate teleport (2 of them during those 10s-20s period if you trait). You get annoying ranged + condition dealing illusions. And if the guy manages to close in, guess what you get field AND shield that forces him to back off (least he keeps getting dazed/interrupted).
Then sec 20-30 and 30-40 are pretty much the same just a bit shuffled rotation to account for cooldown times.
Really people, you make me laugh.

Yes, one can say ‘use your utilities to break stun/immobilize (etc)’ and get a second or two oportunity to hit mesmer (or dodge). Problem with such argument is this:
Those cc breakers are on longer cooldowns than cooldowns of your skills that apply them.
Dodge if a matter of skill, I should be rewarded for the skill, not need skill to simply put me on equal footing with mesmer.
An example: Let us say mesmer made his leaping clone (assume two more illusions are there for shatter) and is going for a kill, he wants to swap (immobilize me), follow it by stun and then BF+shatter. If I sense this coming, and then dodge his swap and his stun and he goes into BF which I dodge through again and find myself behind his back, I should be rewarded for this and be able to for example C&D+ backstab him while he is standing there BF-ing. He should not pull off such a spike, completely miss it and then be completely forgiven….that is the point. Balance starts with these micro-sequences. If you get outplayed you should get punished, with mesmer you are forgiven so much more than you should be.
Note that he can attempt such spike without stun (just immobilize) every 10s, and one with stun every 25s.

And no I do not get stomped by anyone (this or some other class) despite all of this….at least I do not know a player who can just come and easily beat me. Not every comment about balance on these forums is due to person not being able to kill your class.

I doubt you’ve actually tried doing any of this on a mesmer and work. Speculating is one thing but actually using it in battle and making it work is another…The rotation you use would work on dolls/dummys not real live players who counter and dodge and attack.

Sometimes when I use a conditional removal skill it doesn’t work. Is it bugged or are some classes condition unremovable? I think it was a necro skill I’m not sure since its either poison or flames.

This isn’t really 1 shot its more like 10 shots. Even during that time you can avoid half of it too. Unlike backstab …

Nerf thieves – 10k to 14k damage with one move from inviso with no counter. Until that happens, no other classes attacks should be touched.

10 to 14k…..show me a spvp screen with that BS damage during a match (Not on golems or kitten please) and maybe with your armor on (Already saw ppl screening dmg and then put on armor again), or you’re talkin bout wvsw? because, you know…we don’t give a kitten bout wvsw here…

Hilarious.

here’s your 10-14k BS damage from thieves and yes I have armor on.

Build: http://tinyurl.com/ck6a8pc
You can swap out 2 Nightmare armor sigils for 2 Mad King. Use Super Veggy Pizza for a total of +113% Confusion Duration. Rare Veggy Pizza really isn’t worth it.

I’m guessing the armor and jewelry are carrion? with vit, power, and cond. That looked like it needed tons of skill to play, I liked how you kept them going back and forth through your glamours lol. I’ll try this out, hopefully I have enough gold for yellow armor. thanks!

will this ever be implemented into pve armor? I know that knight’s jewelry have them but the armors don’t.

thx thats good to know

Just wondering but will very hit of 100blade proc confusion dmg?

Can someone share their confusion build for wvwvw? What armor and traits as well. thanks guys

let us be able to take out certain things from spvp to pve, wvw. Like runes, skins, or accesories. I’ve noticed that there are certain stats in spvp armor that are not in pve armors. I’d like to be able to take, if not runes or skins, but those certain stats as well (i.e power, precision, vitality).
If we need to use glory to purchase it I wouldn’t mind at all since I don’t really use it anyways.

is there a site that allows you to try out different armors? I want to mix and match armors to see what stats I get. Not pvp armors but pve ones.

is it possible or do armors only come in a certain stats?

DafOPP.2816:

For the record, my textures are fine and I have zero loading or freeze issues.

good for you, at least someone is happy

DafOPP.2816:

You know what? I came on here to post this exact same thing. Initially I was very underwhelmed, then I played and was pleasantly surprised to see that they’ve taken a solid step in the right direction.

If anything, I would suggest to ANet that they don’t raise expectations (or allow expectations to blow out of proportion) so much before a patch. Just straight out say “we are taking baby steps to keep everything in check” and I think the average forum jockey will be less upset.

To people complaining: Just go play the game, it is more fun and balanced now, and if we continue to play and support then I have faith ANet will continue to adapt and improve.

the game’s unplayable due to random freezes, loading bug, blinking textures, etc. The classes are screwed up as well. GJ Anet for screwing a good game. So…no I cant have fun, thanks for trying though

I agree the patch is full of disappointments. Every patch seems drive me away from playing and lessening the fun in it. This probably isn’t just me

the game is unplayable, theres a ton of bugs and a ton more were added after the patch.

ditto after the patch my game randomly freezes, textures are blinking its kittening annoying and it hurts my eyes. this games has become unplayable

heres another ss

so my game freezes randomly now, my textures blink on and off everywhere and it hurts my eyes. This wasn’t an issue till this update. I’ve tried repairing and it didn’t help. My drivers and directx is up to date.

my drivers up to date directx as well. I’’ve run a repair on gw2 and its still doing it. This wasn’t a problem before the update, it was all running fine, whats going on? also here’s another ss

I keep getting tearings pop up every sec and its hurting my eyes.

I’m not gonna hold my breath, the next patch will probably be filled with disappointments.

Even if we try to be constructive they’ll just ignore us. There’s no point trying to appeal to them to buff or fix mesmers so you might as well give up. How many posts have been created appealing to fix this or change this and nothing has happened. In fact they did the opposite and ignored our pleas and kept nerfing us. Call it what you will but these changes have been gradually been bad for us.
