OK well that explains why then and that sucks.They ruined stuff for the mes in favor of PVE, as usual, where GS skills recharge x2 faster than in pvp where mesmer lost GS trait forever w/o compensations and as you noticed put boonrip somewhere where it never lands.Who cares tho?

I think the idea was to make GS "better" for zerg combat, but in the end they just ruined GS for every single encounter.I mean additional bounces? 33% damage reduction? It's all signs that they wanted Bountiful Blades to be good for group combat but wanted to tone down the damage.

And in their classic Anet fashion, they never bothered to test these changes anyway.

Power Nerf + Mirror Blade 15% damage reduction per bounce + 33% damage reduction from Bountiful Blades? Even if yu have 2 extra bounces all hits won't mean jack!

Honestly mesmer will never really work in zerg combat just because phantasms and clones have so little health and don't avoid damage. The best trait that existed for dealing with this was distortion on phantasms that were summoned.

It's the same reason Renegade, minions, elementals etc are all bad in zergs, they simply melt and don't avoid damage.

Don’t say never. We had at the beginning our glamour confusion Mesmer. And it was awesome! But they deleted it, as always :(
