@viquing.8254 said:@bravan.3876 :1) Stealth spam is currently a myth and base his survival only on stealth isn't a good idea btw. Can you again stop making assertion ending to nerfing everything.

Wheter it's easier to land a higher burst without chaos or to have better survival is a subjective opinion.

No that is exactly the point, he uses Chaosline and still has enough dmg to oneshot certain builds and would not even need Mantra of Pain for that. There never was a single build on Mesmer broken without using one or even both low skill ceiling traitlines (Inspiration, Chaos), no matter what elite spec/ core (and it is like that since game release and i vote for rework into something more active with higher skill ceiling since game release). On Mirage only the passive condi application from clones (what is already a problem on core btw, compare condiclone normal autoattack dmg to powerclone autoattack dmg, and condi ambushes to power ambushes) is a problem. They need to give Condimesmer more active ways to apply condis and nerf condiclones autoattacks and ambushattacks into the ground for that. Aside from that Mirage is fine. They should rework EM into something active and not gamebreaking so Mirage has another good trait there. Instead they keep a broken mechanic nerfed to death so no one can use it.

Well if I do the history : they run over your nerfs suggestions of CI and LT and you still find always something low ceiling etc. Maybe just sit one day and enjoy the game, particulary when mesmer is far to have 3 on 1 clicks.

About mirage vs chaos, both are defensive line : mirage giving sword mobility and more damage thanks to ambush while llowing to evade during CC when you don't anticipate an attack.Chaos in comparison give only defensive tools.IMO a normal build should have at least one defensive line to be viable, we aren't in PvE were you can go 3 dps lines.What you call low skill ceiling are the two defensive lines. Again : the full zerk domi/duel/mirage or domi/duel/illusion hopefully aren't the only way to play in a skilled way. Can you get it one day ?

And even if I'm all to have mesmer doing 0 damage by clone and all by weapon, the day they put normal DPS on 3 scepter we get plethora of whine while necro axe who does more damage than pre-nerf scepter 3 is fine. Logic...

It is always funny how i am more on your side here with trying to avoid shadowpass nerfing even not broken stuff on Mesmer into the ground and you always fall into my back. Mesmer mains...You are only on the nerf mesmer side but nerfing it step by step leaving broken spec or unfun things.And 80% of your nerfs are justified by being "carry" "low ceiling" "easy to play".Remember me when you do fine suggestion about reworking ?If we listen all you say we will end with one monobuild.

PS : I dislike the current passive ambush condimirage meta gameplay, but it's the only viable way to play pass a certain level...

There is absolutely nothing skillful about playing staff /scepter X chaos mirage. Literally nothing.

l personally think knowing Phase Retreat spots is the mark of a good staff mesmer. For example, on Foefire do you know where to stand and what angle to face on the road leading south of Graveyard so your phase retreat will put you up onto the metal bridge? It's less intuitive than knowing if you can steal or phase retreat to someone based on where they are standing. What about to get onto the stonearch on the north road?

Considering I spent all of core on staff GS power shatter. Yes, I do. Or did once upon a time at least.

Having perma just about every boon with double chaos storm and scepter block every 6 seconds is not skillful gameplay.

YEAH WE ALL KNOW THAT THE BEST PLAYER PLAY WITH HIS FEET BECAUSE IT'S SKILL !

Thanks for your intervention.

That's not what I said, nor what I meant. Mirage, and infinite horizon promotes a very "spammy" play style. Couple that with perma protect, vigor, regen and a lot of aegis / scepter blocks. Distort and instant cast reposition with jaunt and staff 2. The ability to dodge after eating the stun is by definition not skillful.

But hey, good to see you still can't hold an objective discussion.Arguments backed by nothing but feelings won't really get you anywhere. Take a step back, look at the facts and after that respond.

Much like how I'm a guardian main, I know core guardian is easy to play. In theory, it's however very weak now making it harder to compete. But in it's core, it's not a skillful class. The only hard part about guardian compared to every other spec is having to manage cooldowns in a completely different way.

I like how the opening posts are talking about how he needs to play with certain traitlines in order to validate the build. The build is the most straightforward experience possible, and it doesn't really matter how "easy" the passives make the combat when he's going to do the exact same thing against every opponent anyway. Even something like a "Mirage variant" is going to have almost identical gameplay. Mega low IQ.

Nope the version without Chaosline has way harder to land because way more predictable and for that easy to counter oneshot tries and then, when failigng the oneshot, has also less passive tools to survive. Means the variant without Chaosline has to outplay ppl way more to hit the burst and also to survive what makes it way less low IQ. Oneshot Mesmer still is the easiest out of all Powermesmer builds not carried by Inspiration or Chaos (still harder than any meta build) but then has no balance issue at all (except for Mantra of Pain). And complaining about that is then nothing more than a l2p issue.

You never saw me just crying "this is op". I always explain very detailed and (how i think) very well and based on logic and gameknowledge WHY i think something is op. That is why you fear me more than Shadow because i have better arguments. And don't say i complain step by step about different things after one thing is nerfed. I always since game release complained over the same things and that not only for Mesmer. The only difference is that other ppl in this forum only start to complain about stuff when it actually gets played and rekt them. That is the point i jump in but i never open a complain thread myself. For Mesmer my complain thread would have been the same since game release: " Rework Chaos and Inspirationline on Mesmer" (rework not just delete, so we would not have only one Monobuild left when listening to me, even without these 2 traitlines Mesmer still has tons of different builds but i don't even say delete i say rework into something more active and skillful and i would do that with every class not only Mesmer).Mirage is less of a defensive traitline than an utility traitline and the traits with a more defensive direction are clearly less passive and/ or less broken than Chaos or Inspiration (except for EM what is nerfed into the ground so doesn't rly exist). Mirage on power is not overperforming at all. There is a reason every overperforming Mesmer build since game release used either Chaos or Inspiration or even both no matter if Core, Chrono or Mirage.

You haven't better argument. Sorry but "it carry", 'it's noob thing" and other superlative subjective things aren't in any way good arguments.Every overperforming mesmer build use either chaos or inspiration because a good build need defensive tools and not be a one trick build who get hard countered by thieves since release.Did chrono provide defensive tools ? no so you get inspi or chaos.Did every mirage build use chaos ? no, there were duel/illu/mirage build meta more than the today chaos on condi and power mirage rarely use chaos. The main reason the current condi mirage build use chaos is for the vigor uptime to synergize with ambush.

Viquing sry but that gets too stupid, my argument is not that somethign is op/ lame or noobcarry, that is my conclusion. The other 10000 sentences in my wall of texts are the arguments and explanations WHY i think something is op. If you don't get these conversation basics i don't see a way to talk to you.

What? Ofc Mirages use Chaosline, the meta build even after CI nerf is still Chaosline Condi Mirage because Mirage alone is more of an utiltiy spec than pure defensive. And the most defensive traits on Mirage are clearly more active. I never said delete defensive stuff, i said delete PASSIVE defensive stuff. Just as i said delete PASSIVE offensive stuff like too strong condiclones (i don't even say clone ambushes should make zero dmg but it needs to be way less and for that more active ways of condi application).

Yes Chrono had defensive tools like shield added. But it is active that is the difference.

Again I read each wall of text you wrote and the number of subjective assertions are far more present than real arguments.Mirage used illusion instead of chaos before they nerf vigor.Shield = hit me with your imblocable please.

"Again I read each wall of text you wrote and the number of subjective assertions are far more present than real arguments."

Yeah @viquing.8254, it's funny you noticed that too. People have been telling Bravan that for the past few days but he still doesn't get it.

Look at my responses to him on this page in another one of my threads. There have been a ton of other people telling him the same thing lol.

Just for the record, my complaints about mantra mesmer are no different than Sindrener's complaints about condi daredevil.

BOTH of us can kill them reliably and understand how to fight against them. BOTH of us think that each respective build takes absolutely zero skill to play effectively.

No, not just the ranger thread. Several people have told you that in this one as well.

The ban was stupid. I got 3 infraction points for literally nothing. They said "blah blah blah in the post quoted" but didn't even quote/remove a post so I don't know what I got banned for.

Again, saying "I could explain pretty well" but then not explaining anything sums up nearly all of your recent posts.

@"shadowpass.4236"

Sry i don't remember any other person except the one jumping in for you for no reason after i stopped responding to you already for the exact same reasons he tried to accuse me. And in this thread it is more or less only Viquing. You also can't count either it seems. Again for you: subtract one sentence from my wall of text not having an explaining character and you get the insane amount of arguments i wrtite in all my posts. You can disagree with me, i don't mind that at all but saying i have no arguments is obviously, factually wrong- And you even agreed to most of my arguments in your previous complain Mesmer thread (even though it was more because you had no arguments left to continue fighting but it shows how hypocrite you are), you even repeated how you found me reasonable in most parts even in the Ranger thread in your first response to me.

But i remember why i stopped talking in Mesmer threads not only to you as a person. It is funny how the "nerf everything even stuff that is not broken on Mesmer" guy tries to reunite with the "don't nerf anything on Mesmer " guy :joy: I doubt that friendship will last for long. But even if it does, you can 10v1 logic and still lose you know? That is why i don't need to mention the amount of ppl disagreeing with you just like i do. I don't need reinforcement, i win by arguments not by masses. Still a waste of time, so i am once again out here (until i get triggered by something i find so obviously wrong that i need to interact again :expressionless: )

Wheter it's easier to land a higher burst without chaos or to have better survival is a subjective opinion.

No that is exactly the point, he uses Chaosline and still has enough dmg to oneshot certain builds and would not even need Mantra of Pain for that. There never was a single build on Mesmer broken without using one or even both low skill ceiling traitlines (Inspiration, Chaos), no matter what elite spec/ core (and it is like that since game release and i vote for rework into something more active with higher skill ceiling since game release). On Mirage only the passive condi application from clones (what is already a problem on core btw, compare condiclone normal autoattack dmg to powerclone autoattack dmg, and condi ambushes to power ambushes) is a problem. They need to give Condimesmer more active ways to apply condis and nerf condiclones autoattacks and ambushattacks into the ground for that. Aside from that Mirage is fine. They should rework EM into something active and not gamebreaking so Mirage has another good trait there. Instead they keep a broken mechanic nerfed to death so no one can use it.

Well if I do the history : they run over your nerfs suggestions of CI and LT and you still find always something low ceiling etc. Maybe just sit one day and enjoy the game, particulary when mesmer is far to have 3 on 1 clicks.

About mirage vs chaos, both are defensive line : mirage giving sword mobility and more damage thanks to ambush while llowing to evade during CC when you don't anticipate an attack.Chaos in comparison give only defensive tools.IMO a normal build should have at least one defensive line to be viable, we aren't in PvE were you can go 3 dps lines.What you call low skill ceiling are the two defensive lines. Again : the full zerk domi/duel/mirage or domi/duel/illusion hopefully aren't the only way to play in a skilled way. Can you get it one day ?

And even if I'm all to have mesmer doing 0 damage by clone and all by weapon, the day they put normal DPS on 3 scepter we get plethora of whine while necro axe who does more damage than pre-nerf scepter 3 is fine. Logic...

It is always funny how i am more on your side here with trying to avoid shadowpass nerfing even not broken stuff on Mesmer into the ground and you always fall into my back. Mesmer mains...You are only on the nerf mesmer side but nerfing it step by step leaving broken spec or unfun things.And 80% of your nerfs are justified by being "carry" "low ceiling" "easy to play".Remember me when you do fine suggestion about reworking ?If we listen all you say we will end with one monobuild.

PS : I dislike the current passive ambush condimirage meta gameplay, but it's the only viable way to play pass a certain level...

You never saw me just crying "this is op". I always explain very detailed and (how i think) very well and based on logic and gameknowledge WHY i think something is op. That is why you fear me more than Shadow because i have better arguments. And don't say i complain step by step about different things after one thing is nerfed. I always since game release complained over the same things and that not only for Mesmer. The only difference is that other ppl in this forum only start to complain about stuff when it actually gets played and rekt them. That is the point i jump in but i never open a complain thread myself. For Mesmer my complain thread would have been the same since game release: " Rework Chaos and Inspirationline on Mesmer" (rework not just delete, so we would not have only one Monobuild left when listening to me, even without these 2 traitlines Mesmer still has tons of different builds but i don't even say delete i say rework into something more active and skillful and i would do that with every class not only Mesmer).Mirage is less of a defensive traitline than an utility traitline and the traits with a more defensive direction are clearly less passive and/ or less broken than Chaos or Inspiration (except for EM what is nerfed into the ground so doesn't rly exist). Mirage on power is not overperforming at all. There is a reason every overperforming Mesmer build since game release used either Chaos or Inspiration or even both no matter if Core, Chrono or Mirage.

You haven't better argument. Sorry but "it carry", 'it's noob thing" and other superlative subjective things aren't in any way good arguments.Every overperforming mesmer build use either chaos or inspiration because a good build need defensive tools and not be a one trick build who get hard countered by thieves since release.Did chrono provide defensive tools ? no so you get inspi or chaos.Did every mirage build use chaos ? no, there were duel/illu/mirage build meta more than the today chaos on condi and power mirage rarely use chaos. The main reason the current condi mirage build use chaos is for the vigor uptime to synergize with ambush.

Viquing sry but that gets too stupid, my argument is not that somethign is op/ lame or noobcarry, that is my conclusion. The other 10000 sentences in my wall of texts are the arguments and explanations WHY i think something is op. If you don't get these conversation basics i don't see a way to talk to you.

What? Ofc Mirages use Chaosline, the meta build even after CI nerf is still Chaosline Condi Mirage because Mirage alone is more of an utiltiy spec than pure defensive. And the most defensive traits on Mirage are clearly more active. I never said delete defensive stuff, i said delete PASSIVE defensive stuff. Just as i said delete PASSIVE offensive stuff like too strong condiclones (i don't even say clone ambushes should make zero dmg but it needs to be way less and for that more active ways of condi application).

Yes Chrono had defensive tools like shield added. But it is active that is the difference.

Again I read each wall of text you wrote and the number of subjective assertions are far more present than real arguments.Mirage used illusion instead of chaos before they nerf vigor.Shield = hit me with your imblocable please.

"Again I read each wall of text you wrote and the number of subjective assertions are far more present than real arguments."

Yeah @viquing.8254, it's funny you noticed that too. People have been telling Bravan that for the past few days but he still doesn't get it.

Look at my
to him on this page in another one of my threads. There have been a ton of other people telling him the same thing lol.

If you mean the Ranger thread there was only one person jumping in for you right after you got banned. Coincidence ofc and i could explain pretty well why it didn't make sense at all what he accused me of. So pls :joy:

No, not just the ranger thread. Several people have told you that in this one as well.

The ban was stupid. I got 3 infraction points for literally nothing. They said "blah blah blah in the post quoted" but didn't even quote/remove a post so I don't know what I got banned for.

Again, saying "I could explain pretty well" but then not explaining anything sums up nearly all of your recent posts.

Sry i don't remember any other person except the one jumping in for you for no reason after i stopped responding to you already for the exact same reasons he tried to accuse me. And in this thread it is more or less only Viquing. You also can't count either it seems. Again for you: subtract one sentece from my wall of text not having an explaining character and you get the insane amount of arguments i wrtite in all my posts.

But i remember why i stopped talking in Mesmer threads not only to you as a person. It is funny how the "nerf everything even stuff that is not broken on Mesmer" guy tries to reunite with the "don't nerf anything on Mesmer " guy :joy: I doubt that friendship will last for long.
But even if it does, you can 10v1 logic and still lose you know? That is why i don't need to mention the amount of ppl disagreeing with you just like i do. I don't need reinforcement, i win by arguments not by masses.
Still a waste of time, so i am once again out here (until i get triggered by something i find so obviously wrong that i need to interact again :expressionless: )

See? You just did it again.

Read my post again. If you still don't get it, read it a third time. Repeat as needed.

You literally just admitted you don't even back up any of your arguments. :joy:

How long/often will you spam that? Until you get banned for nonsense/ off topic? This is kindergarten lvl seriously. As said i am out, stuff doesn't get truer when you repeat it again and again. As usual you just ignore my arguments but i get why, otherwise you cannot lie to yourself that i doesn't have any. Read your previous Mesmer thread, it is all there, every back up i need and i don't say it again. And i also don't spam this thread with examples, make it unnecessary for you to re-read your old thread because you will just ignore them again (if you want examples re-read your Ranger thread). Waste of time talking to someone not even interested in a constructive conversation only in corrupting arguments with nonsense. Spam this thread yourself i am not helping you until your friend jumps in and accuse me of spamming rofl. Just argue with your new friend Viquing why nothing on Mesmer is lame and why nothing needs a nerf.

PS : I dislike the current passive ambush condimirage meta gameplay, but it's the only viable way to play pass a certain level...

There is absolutely nothing skillful about playing staff /scepter X chaos mirage. Literally nothing.

YEAH WE ALL KNOW THAT THE BEST PLAYER PLAY WITH HIS FEET BECAUSE IT'S SKILL !

Thanks for your intervention.

That's not what I said, nor what I meant. Mirage, and infinite horizon promotes a very "spammy" play style. Couple that with perma protect, vigor, regen and a lot of aegis / scepter blocks. Distort and instant cast reposition with jaunt and staff 2. The ability to dodge after eating the stun is by definition not skillful.

But hey, good to see you still can't hold an objective discussion.Arguments backed by nothing but feelings won't really get you anywhere. Take a step back, look at the facts and after that respond.

Much like how I'm a guardian main, I know core guardian is easy to play. In theory, it's however very weak now making it harder to compete. But in it's core, it's not a skillful class. The only hard part about guardian compared to every other spec is having to manage cooldowns in a completely different way.

You are welcome,Mirage have to invest way more trait to be "perma vigor" than most other class because his gameplay is currently based on clone ambush wheither it is condi or direct. (and weither we like it or not.)The ability to dodge after a stunt, to pop a good stability uptime or to have access to evade weapon skill is the same. Don't think class are played for the difficulty they provide.I can hold a discussion as long as it's not random fact split out. And the facts are that mesmer isn't more spammy than other class.

They should rework EM into something active and not gamebreaking so Mirage has another good trait there. Instead they keep a broken mechanic nerfed to death so no one can use it.

Well if I do the history : they run over your nerfs suggestions of CI and LT and you still find always something low ceiling etc. Maybe just sit one day and enjoy the game, particulary when mesmer is far to have 3 on 1 clicks.

About mirage vs chaos, both are defensive line : mirage giving sword mobility and more damage thanks to ambush while llowing to evade during CC when you don't anticipate an attack.Chaos in comparison give only defensive tools.IMO a normal build should have at least one defensive line to be viable, we aren't in PvE were you can go 3 dps lines.What you call low skill ceiling are the two defensive lines. Again : the full zerk domi/duel/mirage or domi/duel/illusion hopefully aren't the only way to play in a skilled way. Can you get it one day ?

And even if I'm all to have mesmer doing 0 damage by clone and all by weapon, the day they put normal DPS on 3 scepter we get plethora of whine while necro axe who does more damage than pre-nerf scepter 3 is fine. Logic...

It is always funny how i am more on your side here with trying to avoid shadowpass nerfing even not broken stuff on Mesmer into the ground and you always fall into my back. Mesmer mains...You are only on the nerf mesmer side but nerfing it step by step leaving broken spec or unfun things.And 80% of your nerfs are justified by being "carry" "low ceiling" "easy to play".Remember me when you do fine suggestion about reworking ?If we listen all you say we will end with one monobuild.

PS : I dislike the current passive ambush condimirage meta gameplay, but it's the only viable way to play pass a certain level...

There is absolutely nothing skillful about playing staff /scepter X chaos mirage. Literally nothing.

YEAH WE ALL KNOW THAT THE BEST PLAYER PLAY WITH HIS FEET BECAUSE IT'S SKILL !

Thanks for your intervention.

That's not what I said, nor what I meant. Mirage, and infinite horizon promotes a very "spammy" play style. Couple that with perma protect, vigor, regen and a lot of aegis / scepter blocks. Distort and instant cast reposition with jaunt and staff 2. The ability to dodge after eating the stun is by definition not skillful.

But hey, good to see you still can't hold an objective discussion.Arguments backed by nothing but feelings won't really get you anywhere. Take a step back, look at the facts and after that respond.

Much like how I'm a guardian main, I know core guardian is easy to play. In theory, it's however very weak now making it harder to compete. But in it's core, it's not a skillful class. The only hard part about guardian compared to every other spec is having to manage cooldowns in a completely different way.

You are welcome,Mirage have to invest way more trait to be "perma vigor" than most other class because his gameplay is currently based on clone ambush wheither it is condi or direct. (and weither we like it or not.)The ability to dodge after a stunt, to pop a good stability uptime or to have access to evade weapon skill is the same. Don't think class are played for the difficulty they provide.I can hold a discussion as long as it's not random fact split out. And the facts are that mesmer isn't more spammy than other class.

Choosing not to run any stability in your build because you can't be punished by eating stuns isn't the same as bringing stab to anticipate incoming attacks. You seen hell bent on disputing every wrong thing on mesmer so it's clearly not worth holding an argument with you.

@viquing.8254 said:@bravan.3876 :1) Stealth spam is currently a myth and base his survival only on stealth isn't a good idea btw. Can you again stop making assertion ending to nerfing everything. What's the next target after chaosline just to be prepared ? (probably mirage line isn"t it ?)2) Chaos = more survival at the cost of less damage. It's a choice. Wheter it's easier to land a higher burst without chaos or to have better survival is a subjective opinion.

No that is exactly the point, he uses Chaosline and still has enough dmg to oneshot certain builds and would not even need Mantra of Pain for that. There never was a single build on Mesmer broken without using one or even both low skill ceiling traitlines (Inspiration, Chaos), no matter what elite spec/ core (and it is like that since game release and i vote for rework into something more active with higher skill ceiling since game release).

Ho come on, 80% of people using stab either :1) pop it passively during normal cycle.2) pop it for a long duration then don't care about it.There is less than few players who use stab to anticipate incomings attacks.

I hate solo quing. I can farm the enemy team all game and still lose because teammates throw, feed, rotate horribly, etc. etc.

So many stupid losses today.

Good thing you are not one of the players who didn't believe it when other players say that their garbage team mates are ruining their games and rating.

The majority of players who blame their teammates have glaring L2P issues.

Now, I'm not saying I play perfectly... but there's a base level of contribution I expect from my teammates every match. I shouldn't lose games when I'm going 15-1. Yes, I maybe made a few small mistakes, but come on! I can only do so much every game.

You'll hear me say stuff like, "I just need teammates that don't feed and we win." because it's true. If I'm constantly killing/downing the enemy team but they end up getting rallied/my teammates wipe on the other two nodes... it's like a break even. I can't be at two nodes at the same time which is why duo que is necessary.

if only you played a class that could not only down but also finish off players 1vX, or a class that could res bad teammates, alas you play mantra mesmer, a tradeoff.

My issue with mantra mesmer is the speed, strength, and frequency of the burst. These builds are extremely efficient at downing one or more people at a time.

By that logic, my teammates should be able to win 4v3 (or less) if I'm consistently downing people at the start/during a fight. However, that's not the case.

I run into the same issues playing other classes as well. I can get downs, but my teammates rally the enemy team and feed on the other two points. It's not a "tradeoff" to playing mantra mesmer. It just means that Conquest is extremely difficult to carry alone because you can only be on ONE out of THREE nodes at a time and you need TWO nodes to win. In other words, you need at least one teammate to depend on in order to win the match.

There are so many scenarios where I'm unable to leave a fight to decap because I know my teammate(s) will die. But, they never/rarely go to decap themselves. So, I end up getting stuck between a rock and a hard place more often than I would like.

It is in fact a trade off, you obv are good player but what stops oposing team from having one? but he plays spellbreaker instead. and mrs spellbreaker can not only down someone but also pop his rampage and cleave that down player 1v3. or mrs reaper that downs someone, well trying to rez against mrs reaper is suicide against 20k dmg spin to win. or mrs holo with his 2,5k dmg auto attacks with quickness, mrs holo can afford to waste his 6s aoe stealth to rez downed teammates while you need it for defence/offence.

Edit: NSFW it does contain some strong language depending on your disposition.

6:04:50 thats some manly mirage.ps at ¬¬ 5:57 is the only "burst" he managed to land did around 11k dmg.so his can stealth and run across the map and 1shot anyone no counterplay doesnt really hold it, now does it ?

I posted it to show another perspective, it's up to everyone else to scrutinise it and draw their own conclusions but it's worth saying, 1 match a trend does not set which is why this thread was made.
