Tried out power herald yesterday with berserker amulet and strength runes, still felt like I hit like a wet noodle.

The OP was very clearly asking about WvW and not PVE. You made it sound like Mirage/Chrono is garbage in every gamemode. It basically is.Mirage and Support/DPS-Chrono are both Meta on several Raid bosses.

What gutting?

Because not everyone has access to stability, and with the amount of CC skills in the game, stomping becomes nearly impossible for some classes before the downed player gets rezzed

Your timing is perfect. Arenanet just gutted Mirage (Chrono was gutted some months back) so Core Mesmer is all that's left now. You can still run PU, but be aware that reveal is everywhere now. Mesmer is perfectly fine in PvE. The "gutting" only happened in PvP/WvW.

I think it is a bug, what is the point of stacks if it doesn´t scale the healing?Also Chaotic Release still has the 45 sec CD instead of 35 sec.

I hope this will happen in the future, since Legend Utilities get more and more expensive. Also having CDs on weapon skills AND having to pay energy for them is ridiculous.

are you living in 2016? the times where you could 1shot ppl with sotm are long gone talking about wvw. its quite easy thereOh right. I thought you meant PvP. Ye they haven´t changed anything in WvW since forever, and Sotm dmg is way out of the line there ofc

Low population leads to unbalanced matches

Don´t forget about blind

There is a reason we barely use the Shiro Elite, it has high energy cost (50). With the upcoming increase of energy cost for Riposting Shadows from 30 to 40 I am worried that Shiro becomes a 3-skill-legend, which contradicts the "focus on gameplay being more active". Keep in mind that weapon skills also cost energy. I am fine with removing Empty Vessel (Stunbreak on Legend Swap), but could we at least not nerf the energy cost of Riposting Shadow and instead nerf the Functionality?Give it an internal cooldown so we can´t spam it, remove the endurance gain, i don´t care, as long as I have a reliable stunbreak that doesn´t cost me all my energy.

Let´s say you need a stunbreak while being on Glint, Facet of Darkness is on CD, you swap legend, use RS and you are already down on 10 energy.. I wish that at least the weapon skills didn´t use energy (since they already have a CD) so that we had more left for the utility skills. I get that certain legend skills do too much, but rather than increasing the energy cost, nerf the skill itself. It´s better to be able to use a decent skill more often than never using a rly good skill because it´s too expensive.

I am more concerned about the 500 ms warmup; are we able to move during this period or will the skill get interrupted if we do so? Would be really bad if we couldn´t move, especially when we need to kite away
