That's 2/3 playable necro options.... Also - core necro is starting to see a surprising amount of play Best Solo Roaming Core Necro player I've ever seen in WvW (outnumbered) ?

I sometimes play my Power Core Mesmer in PvP, it helped me improve teamwork (including when to use Mass Invisibility) and learned how to fight in narrow space against classes that has insane AoE damage ? which also teach me not to be too greedy and fight with patience. Is very rare to see Necro in PvP (Except Scourge and Reaper that benefit in PvP maps that is small with tight spaces for them to be very serious threat) wish you well on your journey =w=?

I call upon the Mesmer Mains of WvW to lend me some advice to help improve my build as I've been having conflicting decisions... either to swap off-hand Torch for Focus or swap sigils to sacrifice condi cleanse for more damage against Condi Deadeye/Mirage/Scrapper/Druid etc... I mainly Solo Roam and follow enemy Zerg's tail for kills to the point that they will chase me off from Mendons to Tier 3 SMC... (literally) Here is the link to my build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vhQQNAR8fnsIClphVoBmoBcrhlXj58ng6xcllHBNgvaC-jFyHABvr+DAPBgeUy5luh/VOMz+DMpEU5LCQAAEgbezsZbGczbezbezb21t5Nbzb2m38mJFQELjA-w I would like to hear some advice so I can finally end this decision making conflict in my mind and maybe finally act on it ? Sorry for my bad English, not my Native Language ? Note: I'm only a 2 month old Mesmer = a kitten not yet a tiger ?

Well, I don't want to be the mesmer who say that they messed up chaos, basically mass invisibility is low cd and long duration when traited, I don't think going the stealth way is healthy for any game. (and because it is mesmer thing i don't think it is gonna stay long enough) In before someone comes and compare it with some other classes stealth, stealth is bad for any game (the long ones specially).Of course in some cases of complains, anet introduced the thief that you can see but you can't touch because of evade 24/7 you are lucky if you touched the thief, there are some things like shocking aura, but thats limited. That being said, in true fights that are more than 1vs1 etc core is not as good as the others, so far it is doing well because of stealth mostly, I have faced a condi mirage, he is not bad, but the reason for me for not being able to kill him is he is using chaos traitline and mass invisibility (trailblaizer/dire), 9seconds I can't get him for sure, but when i meet him with my holo friend, most of the time he will not do any good and probably die in the process of trying to run. The same will go for any mesmer that is relying on stealth. And if there is something that i missed in the video, sorry because it is long, I can't take my time to watch it all xD Is cool! Sorry if the video is long cause I haven't play much due to real life being a pain in the gucci ? so I made it up with this 4 video long worth of honest roaming + duels with mostly wins and few loses (no idea why some people assume I edited out loses when they haven't even finish watching ?) if stealth is unhealthy for Mesmer... they should give us more utilities with mobility or better defensive options to trade off stealth which I doubt it will fix the problem and make things worst (making Condi Mirage more annoying to kill) English is not my Native Language so no worries ?

Well, I'm happy with my Power Core Mesmer but will be nice to give me the option to swap out F2's Condi purpose to a Power or defensive purpose (1sec duration blind maybe?) But ya overall is okay.

My Power Core Mesmer is ready for Core WvW Week ??

I'm testing Focus for my Power Core Mesmer, please don't force us to use the same set of weapons only to create 0 diversity ?

Non-Meta Power Core Mesmer roaming & duels ?

I don't mind seeing Anet giving options for F2P folks to rent WvW Mount (Warclaw) and Glider for at least 1-2 gold each and able to use them only in WvW with a duration of 12 Hrs + buff like indication of how much time they got left before it expires... also, it will be nice for it to be in PvE/Raids too! Like a nearby tavern/ranch/airship/vender (please, make it lore + environment friendly) to rent a mount/glider (reminds me of Black Desert Online rent system) to keep it simple and fair for Players that purchased the Expansion and those who are F2P to keep up with those that has the expansion ? FYI Core Spec in WvW is not dead at all ? it still very much alive in party/solo Roaming! Same for huge Zerg fights where Elementalist, Necromancer, Revenant can still hit like a truck or boon-corrupt! I'm living proof as I play Core Mesmer for Solo/Party Roaming and hunting squishy Zerg tail ?? there are other Core Players who Roam/Zerg in WvW that can proof it! So don't despair as there is always hope ?

I think you'll like a asura from [bOZ] very much then xD

I'm still playing with my Core Mesmer but with different traits, runes, sigils and playstyle away from Meta! I record myself roaming in Home Borderland (doing my guildie a favor of killing enemy roamers) I haven't upload or play much due to real life being a pain in the gucci... so, I made it up with this 3/4 video long worth of roaming and having fun duels! It really helped me meet interesting players that does not play meta and still pose a dangerous threat. To make it clear, I'm just a average nobody who play Mesmer for only 2 months and was once a Warrior/Spellbreaker main. I'm not claiming that I'm better then anyone as there will always be someone better. I might need more time to fight more experienced veterans in WvW and understand what I'm still lacking either in build or my horrible skill as a player, hopefully this build will finally be complete so that I may find joy in playing Mesmer.

I'm a Power Core Mesmer that plays WvW Roaming/PvP... I would like to agree about GS (especially GS 3...) and Main+offhand sword skills like sword 2 really needs some love as my survival and damage against class that just range me (Unblockable Soulbeasts/Classic Power Rangers/Stealth Hard Druids/Gunflame/Perma Stealth Deadeye/PP Daredevil/Reveal Discharge Holosmith/Dragonhunter 1500 Trueshot + reveal F1 etc) or simply CC me then melee me to death (Holosmith/Berserker/Rampage Spellbreaker/Rampage Warriors/Soulbeasts/Power Mirage/Chilly Power Reaper with pulls/DragonTrapper/D+F Weaver etc) just make it... useless sometimes, as for offhand sword. Well, short duration block ain't gonna do much with all the insane unblockable stuff I've encountered... I never realized how much Core Roaming/PvP players suffer since I use to play Power Mirage often and claim I'm better... but in reality a dueler I beaten from Full [TIME] a good Power Signet Chronomancer was right... you never really win as long you play a spec that just carry you. After swapping to Core Mesmer, learned their hardship and realized how bad it is... hopefully, Anet not just rework Core Mesmer stuff, but to other Core specs like Engineer, Necromancer and Elementalist gets proper rework to stand on equal ground with other specs. Wishful thinking that may never come true...

I'll keep that in mind!

I just wanna share this video with fellow Mesmers as I'm trying to make a Roaming Meme on my little bunny... criticism on meme, editing, music, Mesmer's combos etc are greatly welcomed as it'll help me realized which area I need to improve on. Thank you for taking your time to analyze this video!

Bear is pretty nice when playing Sword/Warhorn + Axe/Axe that is mostly melee + mid range playstyle, dueled one before and she is very good, never fought anyone that can do a accurate axe pull then Quickness axe 5 spin or sword+warhorn to get stealth from Smokescale... so I guess it depends on everyone's playstyle and tactic.

Well, as a Power Core Mesmer this nerf to me in my perspective is good and bad. The nerf to Evasive Mirror makes Mirage's evades less annoying(which I really don't mind), but the Blinding Dissipation nerf was troubling as it give me tough time against classes like Holosmith farting their AoE, Soulbeast's unblockable attacks, Berserker's (New) Arc Divider or Deadeye's constant harassment whenever they get behind me from perma stealth, all this easily ending me in mere seconds... unable to blind them to prevent me being turned into smashed or sliced potato. I have no problem on my Power Mirage, but when I play Core Mesmer = 0 survival and became a bag offering sometimes... pretty sure this affects players that is F2P, Core, HoT (Chrono) roamers. Really wish Anet could've just rework those traits they nerf for something that is fair in defense.

3 condis every ~10 seconds? Condi mirage/scrapper can sustain more than that so.....just fyi. Uhm, I don't get it... but I assume you mean Condi Scrapper/Mirage can sustain condi better...? I don't even play Condi Builds, I'm a Power Core Mesmer. Also, I think you miss out the word "cleanse 3 Condi every swap" as I swap between weapon set often after doing burst combo. Most of the Condi Mirage/Scrapper either run from me or just die after finishing re-charging my mantras in stealth. (Glob bless PU trait)

I get salty whispers, party invite rage, mail hate sometime in WvW, cause I either beat them up fairly in 1v1 or 1v1+tier 3 camp on my Power Core Mesmer... most of them rank from Gold, Platinum, Mithril, Diamond using Unblockable Soulbeast + 3 Endure Pain/Perma Stealth Deadeye/Condi Mirage/Condi Scrapper = makes me feel very satisfied and motivated to see more? Edit: Rangers has 2 Stone Signat, one on utility and other on trait. While having bear as pet to meld as Soulbeast, you'll get Endure Pain = 3 Endure Pain ? Before anyone say the quote "Win against a Condi Scrapper and Mirage...? FAKE NEWS!" I have 2 Cleanse Sigil on two different weapon set = cleanse 3 Condi every swap ??

Perhaps to prevent some kind of new bug or glitch using Elixir S for Invul while still dealing landing damage with Jump Shot? Rocket Boots on other the hand still allow us to use Elixir S which is another story xD

Omglob, I didn't know about that! I'm a Power player, so I didn't know that Offhand Pistol has bugs too. Hope Anet folks look into that or at least found out about it in this post :( @coro.3176

Whenever I see a Staff Daredevil doing Daggerstorm in blob fights, just drop Line of Warding and R.I.P to them... or when I'm Roaming/PvPing with Discharge Holo to use Shield 5: Static Shield (Electrify your shield, preparing to throw it at foes. If you are hit, the shield discharges, stunning your nearby attacker) or on my Power Core Mesmer/Mirage just Mass Invisibility/Illusionary Ambush. I really don't see the point nerfing something that does not have stability (which Anet removed it during October 02, 2018 patch) and can easily be waited out, it's a good elite for Core Thief players to survive being shot at by Perma Stealth Deadeye, Unblockable Boonbeast, Gunflame, DH Trapper (True Shot 1500 range) so, please don't nerf it ._.

I've sent a bug report not long ago to Anet... I don't think they notice this bug and it might have been there for quite a LONG time now. Hopefully Anet will fix this soon and make rifle Holo/Scrapper/Engi fun :) @Vagrant.7206

Is it me or has rifle 5 always been like this...?

A decorative chair for our characters to sit on? Like for example a Foefire Throne that have special effect that I just bought from Gem Store and take a sit at anywhere to show off to your friends! That'll will be so cool and to improve role plays + fashion xD P.S. Price wise for endless design of decorative chair is up to you Anet folks, had similar idea for our characters to sleep on bed... but chair is better lol
