  1. Hey @Cal Cohen.2358 good try nerfing chrono again. Just know we will still beat you on it even if you played your yet-again-buffed willbender and evasion stomp.
  2. Anet get this: If all classes are good at everything, they are good at nothing. Stop trying to homogenising the classes!
  3. Probably got outplayed by one YET again - even after all the nerfs.
  4. And they make it sound as if the rifle would offset these nerfs 🙄
  5. From a wvw group and roaming perspective: As a mesmer, a class with no dedicated support spec, unlike the Druid, the Firebrand and even the Spectre, I don't want to support my team-mates by bailing them out one at a time. If I am providing 'support' as a mesmer, I want to set up wins for my team, ideally ending with the enemies' retreat if not defeat so we can carry out the objective before encounter. It achieves absolutely nothing if I am just 'bailing' someone out from a point or just being a half kitten healer (and also a sitting duck with zero damage) .
  6. The debate of healing vs boon aside, the rifle just seems borning! It's just copy and paste of press for boons, press again for heal. Other classes at least have skills affecting one another with their new weapons.
  7. I was really hoping for these kind of unconventional support when they announced the support-centric identity of the rifle. It could have flipped the core focus over to create clones of our targeted ally while giving them stealth for a brief moment; it would have fit the 'emergency escape' gimmik too.
  8. The sole purpose of this phantasm is to apply stun for break bar (in pve, and hopfully as quickly as possibile) or lock down (in wvw/pvp). At its current state offering a single target stun and nothing more (not even as little as applying additional boons at a minimum capacity), I am better off firing off my pistol 5 that has a better timing and potential for a bigger impact in the fight. Sure all phantasms have a "charge animation" before finally executing an somewhat impactful attack; the rifle phantasm just does not seem significant for the longest charge time amongst the rest.
  9. Sums it up well and again... The phantasm is a worse version of pistol 5...AND WITH A LONG AS "CHARGE ANIMATION " ON TOP OF THE INITAL CAST TIME????????????????
  10. Anet please allow the rifle phantasm to pierce or something.... It is just a worse version of pistol 5 with a long cast time and even less CC...
  11. Please give us mace in the next round Anet, so we can finally dual wield The Moot.
  12. To be fair, the mesmer's trailer did not even show off the portal gimmik...this alone makes the pistol guardian trailer much better by contrast. By the end of there respective trailers: Guardian *charges and fires massive kitten off magical ball WHILE BEING FEATURED IN TWO CAMERA ANGLES* Mesmer *the clone dies after the enemy is finally killed by auto attacks*
  13. So with this theoretical context of "emergency" assigned to the identity of the rifle, by Anet, I expect to toss out the portal on short notice. Given the assumed urgency of these so called "emergency" situations, I am NOT going to: - pre-emptively set up a utility portal with a 1 min reactivation window that could expire before it is needed - rely on a portal that is fixed in placed instead of being 'shot' to the target in need -waste a valuable utility slot if the fight IS actually that intense (or that my party really need clutches that much) But of cause, the rifle 'emergency escape plan' is a band-aid solution at best if not just a meme. If your party is struggling so much, where your strategy is to save one and only one of them, so the two of you can res the other 3, there are bigger fundamental issues at hand. So no, I won't take normal portal for these "emergency" in the rifel's tag line.
  14. In an 'emergency' situation with impending doom looming over 4 of your buddies, you collapse your singularity for an emergency escape... "Only 1 out of you lot may survive."
  15. Not much of a plot hole but I cringe every time I hear an NPC speaks in the format of "blah blah blah...BLAH". This seems very overused in soto for the purpose of adding weight to the lines....
  16. If you are struggling with stomping rangers, try: chaos storm/ f3/ shield 5/ GS 5/ focus pull/ daze mantra Plus Mirage cloak/ f4 to avoid being interrupted
  17. Imagine balancing pvp based on golems... Actually just look at the reality. Kek
  18. Not to mention both WB and Ele can disengage very efficiently too.
  19. Yes after years of nerf, our toon could appear quite delusional.
  20. Nah mate, your character is actually referring to your target being untouchable by your useless f5.
  21. Isn't the poster virt just a virt with no off-hand weapon 😏
