TAIKA.1903

Sometimes I feel painful when I play this game with 200 ping..... (for pvpers, this is a big problem) I am Taiwanese, some of my friends who live in Japan or Australia are also have same problem. Is there any chance Anet create gw2 server for these area? p.s. China server is not as same as US OR EU server, you have to pay lots of money on it (like legendary weapon and so on).

Unfun? I don't think "unfun" is the excuse. When I was killed by other class, I usually think it is unfun. Just like I think s/d, s/p thieves are also unfun.Rifle warrior like Ajaxx is also unfun. By the way, team USA is also unfun when I meet them in mAT. How about ban team USA forever? Come on. lol As I said, if you bring some passive defence-skill, nothing would make you unfun. The core power mesmers would feel unfun because he can't 1 shot you. And he will be useless if all of your teammates bring some passive defence-skill. By the way, good thief or rev could make the mesmer feel unfun, too.

I did play as a mesmer for a long time, at least, I wanna show you some video that core power mesmers are not as OP and easy as you think.All these videos are from White Short's twitch, this player is top10~25 in NA now. =============================================================1.In this video, you would see White Short's only 1 shot ppl from stealth successfully 4 times.A.14:30 RANGER (100%>0%)B. 10:10 Warrior (90%>0%)C. 8:40 Warrior (100%>0%)D. 2:50 Warrior (90%>0%)Because there was no thief on enemy's team, so he could try 1 shot easily again and again.https://www.twitch.tv/videos/516705405?t=02h28m30s ============================================================== White Short faced TEAM USA in AT. In this match, you can notice he only got a chance 1 shot rev. After that, he couldn't do anything.He couldn't join teamfight, because he would die so fast. He couldn't decap easily because the thief focused on him.https://www.twitch.tv/videos/515313010?t=01h30m35s ==============================================================3.This video shows he only got a chance 1 shot a thief. (at 5:50)Because there were two thieves in enemy's team, and all enemies knew they have to take care the core power mesmers (There were two core power mesmers.)https://www.twitch.tv/videos/518098743?t=00h25m43s ============================================================== To those who still think core power mesmer is a really OP class, just try it. Do you think it is a easy class that can help you get into top 100 in EU like shadowpass? OH, sorry, shadowpass did not get top 100 tittle with this build. White Short usually plays as a condi mirage in ranked, not core power mesmer. Because condi mirages could work in much more situations. Please take some defence-skill, and there is no chance that core power mesmer 1 shot you in a second.

Chaotic Interruption: Added additional visual effects to this trait to show when it activates. I can't tell is there any difference, could someone explain it? Please tell how it work (show). Thank you.

As tittle, Dune cloak (sand shards) sometimes do not work if I equip a sword with main hand. You can check the picture, there is no sand shard damage before Mirage Thrust. It is really easy to notice this bug if you try by urself. (at least 20% I think) Just dodge>ambush>dodge>ambush>loop and you will find out. Please fix this, thank you.

This new CI which reduces cool down of a random skill is so useless and bad. Because most of time, even you interrupted someone, it is really nothing good for mesmers. When you engaged, it is not easy to interrupt ppl when you need -5s cd for skill. Even you interrupt in that time, it is still useless because you see the skill you want do not -5s cd..... Maybe -5s cd for some kinds of skill is really op, like sword skill 2, scepter skill 2 and greatsword 2/3. BUT, the skill loop is impossible in reality. (ex: scepter 2 > interrupted with MOD > wait 2 sec >scepter 2 > interrupted with MOD> wait 2 sec) First, it is random, and you have to consider if there is any chance to interrupt enemies when you need the effect of CI. I have tested it for a while and I discovered this is so useless. I know maybe sometimes I can combo like GS2>CI>GS2>CI>GS2. I think I will go to buy latto but wait that miracle-skill-loop happen when I really need it. It is impossible that a enemy casts a skill after a skill without stability and those skill have 0.5 sec up time in Plat1 or higher. (It is very very hard if you want to interrupt a 0.25 sec skill) And most of time, swapping weapon is a better choice than waiting enemys cast skills for me to interrupt and hope -5s cd on certain skill for reusing it. Please bring the old CI back, you can remove immobilized from it if people think daze+immobilized is op. Please... NEW CI is SO USELESS. Test it in ranked and you will feel as same as I did. By the way, recover the chrono mes, too. Chronomancer dead since you nerfed F1~F5. Thanks for reading my complaint.

Old CI was an instant lock down together with Mantra of Distraction, that never can be balanced also not on Power builds no matter that it barely got used with Power. Even without an instant interrupt tool the lock down combination from immob+daze/stun/ whatever is worse than the hardest cc in the game because you need a stunbreak and a condi remove to counter that. The immob needed to go in any case. But instead this new rng trait they could have just replaced the immob with another utility condition like Chill. ok, I agree what you said.... But as we can see, Anet remove everything and give mersmer a such useless skill, wtf.... Did they test that by themself? Did they think it is useful or skillful? All they do is nerf everything and make everyone playing IH-based build... sigh

Please give me CI back. As some of mirage players said before, the problem is not CI, the problem is the way condi mirage do damage. Anet killed a high-skilled (focus on interrupting skill) build....Can't you understand that interrupt is not as easy as you think, and that -5s is a piece of shit.

as tittle, it can't recharge shatter skills.

If you can't target or distinguish which one is real below 1 sec, that is your problem. It is really easy, please.

I agree lots of u said before, but I disagree this one. CI+MOD was a bad build because there was a stun trait in domination before. And I could said, only me play this CI+MOD+ power Chrono about 6 seasons before in plat. Because if mesmers wanna one shot people, they would choice domination and dueling because they do not have to care if they could interrupt target or not. They do not have to check or guess if enemy is casting or would cast at next sec. And there are lots of good traits for dealing damage in domination and dueling. If a power mesmer choices the Choas, that means he can't one shot anyone.In my experience, I need 2~3 interrupts when I 1v1.When I did interrupt them, I must have damage skills or I just stand there, auto-attack and then waste the chance.(Please remeber, power mesmers have to wait about 10 sec for a burst, if I did not interrupt them or interrupt them at wrong time, all I can do is gs1 them. But if I hold my burst and wait for interrupt, most of time all I can do is auto-attack, too. that is why I said most of mesmers would not choice CI+MOD before. It is so useless in some situations.) The reason I played CI+MOD before is for teamfights, most of time, even if I stun good players (plat1~legendary), they still have skills for breaking stun.But if I focused on their casting time and did interrupt, they couldn't just run away with stunbreak skills, because they got immobilized. But as I said, I must choice Chaos trait, that means I can choice only dueling or domination for the last trait I can take.You must know mesmers have to focus on interrupting and then CI would be good. If mesmers just MOD randomly, CI would become a useless thing. I just want you know if CI+MOD is OP, it can't stay in gw2 since 2013. People hate it now because CI+MOD+pistol trait+condi mirage can create so many kinds of condi and people can't clean all of them even they bring condi clean skills. But for power mesmers, CI+MOD is ok. Whatsoever, anet already think CI is unbalance...., I just hope they would only remove the immobilize.(But I guess they would remove CI forever.... sigh... So tired.)

Two games are very different. Yes, you are right, i'll delete it.

First, MOD do not have condi damage, so it is not same as Skull Grinder.2nd, Earth Shaker is stun, not daze. MOD is daze, people still can dodge and move.3rd, Reaper greadsword #5 ( Grasping Darkness) is pull, it is a kind of stun (people can't move or dodge if they do not dodge at first). It is not daze, like MOD.4th, Ranger LB #4 is push (people can't move or dodge if they do not dodge at first). It is not daze, like MOD.5th, Headshot is daze, right. MOD is better than this, 1200 range and no projectile. But you have to pre-cast for ammo. You have to know, Mod is DAZE, not stun, pull and so on. People can still dodge or move when they are under daze.MOD was really op with a trait before when it can STUN people about 1 sec or 3/4 sec. And Anet nerfed it, I agree.But you said DAZE is a CC like stun, pull, push? Please, it is not good enough or there would be lots of people play with MOD in monthly AT. The problem is people can't stand when they got interrupt, they can't move and dodge. it is just like a STUN. (DAZE+IMMOBILIZE=>STUN)As I said, mesmers have to daze and interrupted them, and then they will get both of debuff (DAZE+IMMOBILIZE=>STUN).If mesmers do not interrupt the skill, it is only a daze. People can still dodge if they want......... Please recognize stun, pull, push, fear, and so on, daze is much worse than them, because people can still dodge and move, that is a very big difference. Now Anet think MOD with CI's immobilize is op, I just suggest them remove the immobilize, and then there will be no more a kind of stun (daze+immobilize).MOD is ok. There is no more people play with MOD without CI now, so please do not nerf MOD anymore. As a MOD lover who play mesmers with it few years ago.

(I speak English badly, so if you can't understand what I said, I apologize for it) As a power mesmer main player who play with CI and powerlock, I got top 25 (NA) with these 2 traits as a power chrono mesmer few seasons ago before POF. At least I think I can say there are lots of people who said CI and MOD are OP because they do not try to use their brain to cast skills or cancel them. First, it it not that easy to interrupt ppl with MOD after you see the animation of skills. Most of skills only need 0.25~0.75 sec for casting. And as an Asian player, I play gw2 with 200~250 ping, it is very hard to interrupt those skills (I only have about 0.05~0.55 sec to act when I see the animation).How could I still interrupt those players’ skills?Because lots of plat1 (or below) players they just cast their skill one by one, throw everything they have.All I have to do is waiting for them cast the first one and then I would interrupt 2nd one, after that, I can burst them when they are immobilized.There are lots of games have skills for interrupting other players’ skills, like WOW and so on. And most of those games, the cast time of skill is more than 1.5sec. If you want to cast skill in those games, you have to know how to cheat enemies with cancelling your skill or you will get penalty when you get interrupted.But now, those players who do not know how to cancel you skills or just throw your skills like you face keyboard blame mesmers can interrupt their skills, wtf?! Second, it is very hard to interrupt skills after HOT because there are lots of classes has stabilities. We have to wait for a long time after the stabilities disappear and then we have a chance to interrupt. So, why you think MOD is an over power skill? We bring a none damage (or for survival) skill and we can’t use it when ppl has stabilites, by the way, we only has a little chance to interrupt your skill. If we do not interrupt you skills, you only got 1.5 sec daze and can still dodge my attack. Third, there are lots off people like to revive teammates in front of enemies without stabilities. That is so stupid and I like to interrupt them and kill them when they are immobilized. After them die, most of them said “ OP CI, FXXK”. Sigh….Why do you think you can revive teammates when you stand in front of a mesmer with MOD.Would you try to revive in front of HOLO or REV? No, you wouldn’t. So please do not try to revive our lovers in front of a mesmer with MOD, you would die, too. Fourth, it is also hard to interrupt the players who are above plat2, most of them do not throw skills easily or randomly, so for me, if I want to interrupt them, I have to guess when they will cast because it is impossible to interrupt them when you see the animation unless the skill need more than 1 sec for casting (like REV elite). That is why there are lots of good players still can kill some players who is a newbi CI condi mesmer. I do not know what do dev think now, but this is my suggestion."If you think immobilize of CI is op, when you cancel the immobilize, please give CI the ability of Power Block, add a few sec of cooldown as a penalty for enemys and do not remove the buff mesmers can get from CI.I really do not want to see the enemy cast a skill which I wait for a long time to interrupt again in 5 sec, and I think it is balance for mesmers to get the buff after them interrupt someone and those people should get some penalties like cripple or blind." Thank for reading my post, I just like gw2 and mesmers, I still wanna gw2 become a much better game for everyone. But I can't stand for some people who did not try MOD or CI before and judge them OP.

I can tell you my experience. My firends and I are plat2 and have ralentless legend tittle. We had a match with "bronze" player. Why do we know he is a bronze player? Because we carried that match really hardly. After we won that match, we only got 6~7 rating, and that bronze player said "I finially get into silver because I get 35 rating!!!!"

lol, I can't understand why I have to pay to be in plat, xddddddd It is just like breath, why plat players have to pay to stay in plat? only gold or lower player have to do that.

lol this is my second time playing this berserker power mirage build and I went 26-0 with 40% of the team's damage cause the bursts are so easy to land in a 12 min 30 second match that means I was getting roughly one kill every 27 seconds "dont need any defense" 4Head OmegaLULLAMO, I can do 50% up damage without mantra as a power mirage in unranked, it is not hard when 4 of ur teammates are newbie. Are you kidding me? All anet should do is nerf BS first, ok?
