Oh My God.8423 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I just came back after a few years away. It was when Minstrel Chono tank was still a thing. I relogged into my account last week trying to catch up on what I have missed and I saw I still have a full set of Ascended Minstrel gear on my Mesmer. So, is Minstrel Chrono still a thing? Otherwise it will be a waste of a good set of Minstrel gear... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuRkEr.9462 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Mesmer using some minstrel gear is still a thing in raids for tanking. Outside of that and maybe WvW support build it wouldn't be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aceofsppades.6873 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Yes minstrel chrono is still a thing for raid tanking as I understand it it's even a good wvw zerg build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tseison.4659 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Harrier is the way to go now and a better choice IMO. Also; they nerfed Signet of Inspiration and now it's become useless since it doesn't allow you to share boons anymore...Edit: Forgot to mention too since you've been away. They've also pretty much given a lot of other professions some of our uniqueness, i.e: Portal, Alacrity etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's what I love about the Mirage spec because it gives this sense of "phasing" through all forms of attacks, cc and conditions which is balanced because if you take a look at classes like the stupid thieves, they can go full zerker and have more condition cleanses and escapes than us. Regardless of their "role", if Mirage is supposed to be "inspired" by the thieves, we should be given more access to vigor or have our endurance regeneration increased. Well everyone plays differently but I know two Mesmers I roamed with a while back were using the Mirage to "get used to" the 1 dodge and it was too difficult because if the enemy isn't unloading everything in the first couple seconds of the encounter, they'll just do it again in the next and our dodge will still be on CD so shrugs.

They should have never messed with a core gameplay mechanic like they did. The whole game is balanced around having access to 2 instant evades. All that AOE spam and burst other classes have and do and STILL have 2 dodges is impossible to avoid with just 1 dodge. Instead of that, Mirage now has to slot utility skills to compensate and lose a huge chunk of either damage or other utility just to get what other more powerful classes have by default.It's shameful what they did, that's for sure. I won't go more in depth on this as i've made an entire post about this in the Mesmer forum but suffice it to say, this was uncalled for, just because people whine about Mesmers constantly instead of actually learning to deal with them. The thing is - Mesmer can't be dealt with like other classes can. You need to adjust your strategy a bit, i do that too when fighting other Mesmers. I mean that's true for all classes, but since Mesmers have clones and you can't tell who the real one is immediately, all of a sudden people need Anet to nerf us just because that's somehow too powerful. Mesmers were never too powerful, they were just good at one particular thing that people never learned how to deal with. And now we suck because Anet caved.I love the game, and i love Anet for making it and their dedication to it, but what they're doing ot Mesmers is inexcusable.

medivh.4725 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I wanted a tanking chrono with the survivability, pass multiple boons and good alac uptimes. I found this well done video on and another one by MetabattleIs the build too defensive?I seen how the gears, runes and signets were all stacked on toughness then concentration and healing...Into the mix I have Harrier's and Giver's gear giving offense and defense while spreading rest equally at heals, concentration.Then during 1 raid I got called for not doing high DPS? Isn't it hard to please people these days, a tanking chrono giving off heals, alacrity, quickness, and asked to do a high DPS? Is that too much to ask from the chronomancer?

Null Field is supposed to pulse so, subsequent pulses should remove boons, but they don't seem to do that if it's blocked, its just blocks the skill entirely. That's why i said it needs to be unblockable. Because block renders it useless. It's also "blocked" by the "immune" message, not sure what's that from. So if they make it larger (which they also should do, everyone has larger boonstrips and tons of other stuff that they do better than a Mesmer so i don't see the problem in having Mesmers have an unblockable larger boonstirp), unblockable is a must if it's to do what the skill is intended for. It should have never been blockable in the first place, especially since other profession's boonstrip aren't, they're mostly unblockable (especially utilty skills, they're all unblockable and larger except for mesmer's). Which just seems unfair.It basically creates a stupid problem where your AOE boonstrip is blocked and rendered useless. Sure, it removes Aegis, but then you wasted your best utility to just remove aegis and you're left with lesser boonstrips to go on. Meanwhile, the lesser boonstrips are actually unblockable and thus don't remove Aegis by default, they only remove it if it happens to be the boon it stripped. So you can't rely on them to strip block in order to put down your big boonstrip, you're just left to luck which is never a good design choice in competitive environments. Mesmers already have too much "luck" involved with all other skills and mechanics.Agree on Alacrity, Chrono should have been the only one to provide it, and with the ability of perma alacrity. Wtf do Revs have to do with our shtick? And do it better than us??? This just seems insulting,I also agree that every class is too similar right now. Guardians can especially do pretty much everything.FIngers crossed for EoD but i'm not holding my breath. Though, if they mess up Mesmer even more for EoD, i'm not sure i'll stick around for long...

It's no fun being in the gutter. :disappointed: Tks for the explanation, I somewhat feared that would happen but had not sure, IMO it sounds more like a bug or at least it would consume the 1st block but if player is in position to get more 1+ strips that should take in effect that is what makes more sento to happen at least for me, getting the entire skill bloked :sleeping: ....A way to fix that if make s trip boon disabling the block boon somewhat this way both will consume themselves:the situations:W/o aegis situation:-Player A has no block, enemy Player B uses 3x strip wich start pulsin and remove the 3 boons.With aegis situation:-Player A has block and boons, enemy player B uses 3x strip, the boons wiill be saved on the 1st strip and will forecelly take the block from aegis making it both consume each other, player A will only suffer from 2 strip rather than 3.One thing that ive learned in gw2... never cross fingers and never get hyped for any kinda of game... specially gw2.....

So if they make it larger (which they also should do, everyone has larger boonstrips and tons of other stuff that they do better than a Mesmer so i don't see the problem in having Mesmers have an unblockable larger boonstirp), unblockable is a must if it's to do what the skill is intended for. It should have never been blockable in the first place, especially since other profession's boonstrip aren't, they're mostly unblockable (especially utilty skills, they're all unblockable and larger except for mesmer's). Which just seems unfair.Agree on Alacrity, Chrono should have been the only one to provide it, and with the ability of perma alacrity. kitten do Revs have to do with our shtick? And do it better than us??? This just seems insulting,I also agree that every class is too similar right now. Guardians can especially do pretty much everything.FIngers crossed for EoD but i'm not holding my breath. Though, if they mess up Mesmer even more for EoD, i'm not sure i'll stick around for long... It's no fun being in the gutter. :disappointed: Tks for the explanation, I somewhat feared that would happen but had not sure, IMO it sounds more like a bug or at least it would consume the 1st block but if player is in position to get more 1+ strips that should take in effect that is what makes more sento to happen at least for me, getting the entire skill bloked :sleeping: ....One thing that ive learned in gw2... never cross fingers and never get hyped for any kinda of game... specially gw2.....Well yeah, it feels like a bug for sure. I mean, if it's unblockable it would do what the skill says it does. And even if blocked, it should still pulse as per the description, but "block" seems to just "block the skill" meaning, everything including pulses. I watch ArcDPS a lot when doing WvW and every time i see "Blocked" on Null Field, i consistently see no boonstrips measured by ArcDPS when enemies are in it. Meaning it stops working.Unblockable - especially for utility skills that are supposed to be more powerful than "lesser skills" - should be enabled by default on boonstrip skills because of how block seems to work. It just seems dumb and an oversight that Null Field isn't unblockable. Because that mechanic is actually the one the basically enables boonstripping to begin with. How it is, Null Field just seems broken, and not in a fun way. :disappointed: Honestly i'm not even sure why Aegis and blocks are triggering and stopping it, aren't those just for damage? Null Field does no damage. Maybe it's a bug with blocking and Aegis?And yeah, i know, no hype etc. I'm not actually Hyped at all, i'm more afraid than anything cause i don't see how this mess can get any better honestly. I'm just hopeful i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, it occurs to me that ANY block skill can block Null Field. Not just Aegis. That's just broken AF to be honest...With unblockable it should go to boons directly, that's how it should be, and potentially strip aegis, not trigger aegis and blocks by not doing damage, like WTF ANET!!!But i guess you're right, if they just balance 3 classes, one per armor weight it's easier, the rest can go "cute juvenile cats" themselves... :expressionless: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
