[PvE] How can I make a 1h Sword viable?

I recently respecced from an AH/Shout built to a Sword-focused meditation/blind build in PVE and it’s been a lot of fun. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUAQRAsd7elYgiDnGSKEf4Eh1DAeQ/VVIeXPgIFbIA;TQALLGWsjYSA. (Alternate-set MH weapon varies between Scepter and Mace).

Lots of damage, great survivability with all the blinds and blocks, and it’s just plain fun to teleport all over the place setting kitten on fire. Seems to be working fine up to fractal 10, haven’t tried it any further than that.

Zephyr's boon bug? (boon duration)

Fire Aura from RoF + Grasping Earth on D/D is giving me the same fury duration as Frost Aura — about 4-5 seconds base. Don’t know if Fire Aura on the Focus is shorter.

Shocking Aura is the only aura that appears to be applying the correct duration.

Would be very nice to have that fixed.

Hahaha, this is almost unbelievable.

I won’t spend another dime on this game. Eat kitten, Anet.

So, no more blasts on evasive arcana [Merged]

No, no, no.

I came to GW2 from WoW because I was tired of the gear treadmill. I’m not going to stick around if Anet insists on introducing it here.

Mesmers: the good, the bad, i still want to bang my face on fighting them

> these mesmers I’m always fighting just run in circles beating the 1 button on their greatsword

Hmm.

>only hitting Knockback

5 button.

>and might

2 button.

>I was just bombed by their copies

F1.

>they spam 3 second invulnerability 3 times in the duration of a 30 second fight

Either F4 or weaponswap to sword and 2.

Sounds to me like they’re using a ton of buttons! Not to mention that spamming as many shatters as you claim you were up against involves a ton of clone generation (dodging, phantasms, etc). Sounds like you got straight-up outplayed, sorry friend.

Another female "run" animation with a greatsword

Love the change. Hated dragging my stupid sword around. Norn should look stronger than that. Thanks Anet.

If I could make one more improvement: standing around idle goes back to the human female stance. Like to see that change.
