Did you know that all you had to do to negate his combo was stunbreak and dodge or just pop a block skill You beat this stuff by playing actively and reactively, not passively. If you're fighting a dude whose on a 0 sustain burst build then it means he's playing a version of the game where his mistakes and moves are excruciatingly readable and obvious and also possible to punish. He's playing dark souls, so you fight him like it's dark souls too, with reactive play instead of just sitting around and expecting a build to carry you because the youtuber who made its video guide did a really convincing job of selling it. Again to what I said at the top of the thread, you beat this stuff by being the better gamer and you can do it just through practice Take these examples: You're fighting a dagger pistol thief and he casts black powder. Guess what he's going to do next. You're fighting a FA weaver and he casts rock barrier and remains in earth attunement. Guess what he's going to do next. You're fighting a power mesmer and at the start of a duel he enters stealth. Guess what he's going to do next. Fights against such classes can be some of the most fun ones in the game because of how they actually adhere to an internal logic of "I do an action, he does a reaction"-type gameplay where mistakes are punished and smart, predictive play is rewarded. Literally just be the better gamer and stop blaming your opponent's talent and mastery over his skillset on "bad design". Learn the matchup and surf on the guy. Look at him and not your skill bar.

he just wanted you to hit the ball back

what did i claim? my original claim is that power chrono has a high skill ceiling and its this skill ceiling that permits its most loyal adherents to surf over many of the people they come across. I dont think mesmer is a hard class intrinsically. I don't think any class is hard intrinsically. Even on the same elite specs you can play a super easy build or a really hard one. I hate to break it to you but the reason you hate power chrono is because its players are genuinely extremely well practiced at what they do. If you die to one then 9 times out of 10 it means the guy you're up against probably just has a dedication to the game that supersedes yours to the point that he probably mirrorblades in his own dreams and can accurately predict what your blood type and home address is just by reading your gameplay alone. There are literally no easy routes to beating someone like that. You have to actually meet them where they are and be better than them if you want to win If thou wishes to beat sweat, thou must perspirate all the same

me

if u wanna argue for a class being easy to be effective on its best not to link a video from someone who has played said class for over half a decade

Don't lump my innocent power mesmer players in with the cele condi ones, they don't deserve it

If a mesmer just did all of those skills you just mentioned in sequence to an opponent then how much damage do you think he'd have done to them The actual easiest burst in the game would be something more in the realm of a soulbeast using longbow 2, which is balanced by the fact that no amount of player skill can make the arrows go any faster than they do with quickness because they're not individual keypresses. The best soulbeast in the world can't make his smoke assault go any faster than anybody else's either, because these skills are designed with a strict limit on their potential for lethality by virtue of their ease-of-use and accessibility

the difference with power chrono compared to everything else there is that the power chrono who just csgo onetapped you probably skipped the birth of his own child so he could stay at home and practice mirror blade combos while his wife was alone in the hospital, and honestly when you're that dedicated to pwr mes then you absolutely deserve to be bursting most players into the next borderland over just get good, be the ball, et cetera. most of the EoD spec and cele builds you've listed here are 100% broken and corny af (not a single person who plays druid in this game had siblings growing up and it shows) but the one singular eternal fact of guild wars 2 is that everybody who plays this stuff is almost universally terrible at the game and you can win on that factor alone

because I asked them very nicely not to

if i speak i am in big trouble

m8 u have a persecution complex

daddy. I want longbow ele and I want it NOW. you ppl are complaining like its the end of the world, as if they're not gonna give profs new weapons every year until everybody has access to everything eventually source: what else are they going to do with a yearly release cadence

ending this discussion once and for all most based builds: power mesmer, fa weaver, power specter, every variant of thief besides pistol pistol cele least based builds: everything else
