Lincolnbeard.1735 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Want better burst? Thief, engie, ranger.Want better sustain damage? thief, engie, ranger.Want better mobility? Thief, engie, ranger.Want better sustain? Thief, engie, rangerWant better cc? thief, engie, ranger.Point is, power mesmer is currently useless trash.Just admit you screwed up and buff mesmer already.Revert critical infusion, mirror blade, mind wrack and all phantasms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbreaker.6507 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I've been wondering that myself.I tried out a few games fiddling around with power mirage (because I'm tired of playing condi and the defacto core build doesn't interest me that much) and I felt beyond useless.Having said that though, does anyone else find it funny that almost every power-based build is forced into zerker amulet now? Such build diversity.. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bast.7253 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 The few times you actually get a good enough team and people not running flavor of the month tanky condi builds that take zero effort it can be pretty satisfying landing your burst.Otherwise there is no point. And honestly the timing, positioning, and skill it takes to land your burst on a power mesmer is about 100 times more effort than just playing a rifle deadeye and hitting from max range. Or a soulbeast. Or a berserker with greatsword f2 for an aoe one shot nuke.Yeah, there really isn't a point most games honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yasai.3549 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Power Mesmer hasn't been good ever since the Chrono "trade off" for me :c I'm just look at my Mesmer everyday with their Chrono Profession logo in the loading screen and go ".....another day...."

Vilin.8056 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 So 2 phantasms + 3 Clones plus a DOUBLED up sword damage, all that extra might buff, evasion, projectile block just from your normal rotations THEN plus all the extra utilities isn't good enough?Then the added bonus that you double up as a boon chrono with a swap of trinkets.It's only natural that some of it got nerfed, but it's still very powerful for PvE.In comparison, Engies receive damage in overload, and thief has the lowest health pool.

Before you could kill them one burst, but now it take much longer. Thiefs for example seem to die easily. Just hide in tower, wait that thief try to gank somebody outside, stealth and one hit him. Necros who don't have full hp are good targets too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
