Mintyfreshsmell.1568 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Anet just gutted another specialization leaving only Core to stand any chance of being viable. Sure there's a like ONE thread about the dodge but where's the outrage from everyone else? Hell even the other players who don't play Mesmer don't seem to care at all. How can people just stand by and be ok with an entire profession's specializations getting shit on. Maybe there's only a few people left? I just wish Anet would come out and say they are reworking mesmers specializations, because if they don't they are going to lose a few more players. PS: I thought the update was decent until I played it. Wow, it feels like hitting people with wet noodles. I think they scale it a bit too far down personally.

Dadnir.5038 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 The outrage is in the sPvP sub forum because dev seldom come to interact with players in the profession's subforum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For PvE, the attitude is mostly "yet another alleged 'balance' patch" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yasai.3549 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Because people all moved on to be Guardian mains. Age of Mesmer is over.The one Dev that loved Mesmer too much probably left the company, and a new Dev overseeing balances loves Condi and Guardian, so Guardian is Anet's new favourite.

Meh, I don't want to :<Started the game as a guardian, but fell in love with mesmer shortly after release.... build the whole damn character with legendary armor, weapons, runes, sigils and trinkets.

Lincolnbeard.1735 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 If you go to pvp forums you'll see three kinds of people, people that are happy mesmer isn't playable, people that think mesmer is still op and needs more nerfs and mesmers.Most mesmers are fed up and couldn't care less, only a few remain that still have some hope (I'm part of the ones who couldn't care less anymore).@Yasai.3549 said:The one Dev that loved Mesmer too much probably left the company, and a new Dev overseeing balances loves Condi and Guardian, so Guardian is Anet's new favourite. He still works for ANerf, he is gone with the flow. You can search his name on forums and you'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curunen.8729 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Past experience shows us there's no point getting stressed out over it - no amount of outrage is going to change what has already taken place.Best to either learn to live with it, or move on.Only similar situation I can think of is when they (accidently) changed Distortion into evade - but this was a bug (apparently) and got reverted.But I'm happy to be surprised if Anet do something amazing in a future patch.

Crackmonster.2790 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 The mesmer population is already beaten into submission or driven away. Hard to stir these stilll waters. Look how dead mesmer forum is, how little discussion about builds and traits are here. They did that to us how they treated us over time and what choices we have in builds.

Guess I'd rather die as a mesmer than living long enough to become a guardian (again).Yes that is exactly the place Im at right now. You can tell my 5k hours invested, world map completed, 7+ year old Mesmer that I got full legendary armor, weapons, backpack and trinket for. The one that has every map in the game completed. Its the one that you can see sitting in Mistlock naked and /crying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stand The Wall.6987 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 for me, i'm still stunned that anet actually did this. didn't play much mes, enjoyed it every once and a while in pvp. anyway I can't think of a better way to kill your own game then to give some specs unplayable trade offs and others luke warm bubble baths.

I like how they are super heavyhanded in some nerfs, yet leave other professions with a light tap.Thief is straight up still the same thing as before, infact they are barely even changes in most aspects.Guardians so OP right now.Necro is the only one which had a massive paradigm shift to being a meme class to the best class for solo roaming and 1v1 fights, purely because of their ability to gain health back and use it to shield themselves from almost anything the game can throw at them right now.

XenesisII.1540 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Mesmers probably gave up, they've destroyed other defensive pieces and now the final hammer hit.. and players still calling for more nerfs... no point anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyndina.7984 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Yeah,most mesmer that did care probably left the game behind or changed to another class. I was a mesmer main since release of Guild Wars 1...sure some nerfs are rightful, but making it not playable in certain gamemodes...yeah no. So i left and did go back to wow.
