Not sure what to tell you.
I'm running around with a staff/staff mirage mesmer, and other than groups of smokescales in verdant brink, I wreck basically everything.
The build I'm using.
Like, I'm certain I could get more damage out of it if I swapped to axe/something, but I prefer the aesthetic of staff.
Like, ranger and necro are both easier, and I'm sure other classes wreck face better - but for general PvE, this is the most fun I've had in years.
My only complaint is that I don't have the 25% movement speed from chrono.
