draxynnic.3719 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Phantasmal Sniper. It's basically Phantasmal Duellist for most intents and purposes but combines all the damage into one attack so it doesn't synergise as well with Sharper Images. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead.7638 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Special ops rifle Mesmer. Â I see it working too well on mirage. Â Wep swap to pistol/pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infusion.7149 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I was thinking it would be a bow, but rifle makes some sense solely in terms of the ingame economy since so few specs actually use rifle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for nothing, but isn't that what the scepter is for? Also, how many ranged weapons does the mesmer need? By my count, they have about 8 ranged weapons and 4 melee weapons. Maybe they should consider giving them more close range options 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agrippastrilemma.8741 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 One of the most boring weapons in the game, sad. Unless they do something crazy (like melee rifle levels of crazy) I think I will be disappointed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulGuardian.6203 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Can we please, for the love of the 6, have a main hand pistol instead of a rifle? That would be so good. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyroar.2974 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 (edited) I'm hyped for rifle. No idea what kind of playstyle it'll have to stand out from GS or MH Dagger, but I always felt that gunner mesmer was an underdeveloped theme. We've been having mostly variation of battlemages with Shield and Axe, magic-thief with Mirage, and then dagger is like a MH version of GS, so I'm ready for new flavor. In addition to gunner mesmers (rifle, MH pistol), I also would like to see their trickery flavor (torch) and musical flavor (trident) more developed in the future.

phokus.8934 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I can see it being a medium range (effective) weapon. Mesmer weapons kind of go against the grain but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doam.8305 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Way too much ranged as is been stated by others a nice melee hammer or even mace would be nice. Half our melee weapons are ranged and our ranged weapons are ranged this isn't much a duelist class at this rate. As for rifle I highly doubt its melee for those of you who've played Xenoblade Chronicles a heal bullet is a thing. Thus I'd say the rifle is a support weapon which will probably be as useless as the healing rifle was in that game as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be so good. I couldnt agree more. Rifle is bad choice. Mesmer has 1200 range GS and Dagger as a power weapon. It has range staff and scepter(it sucks but still has) as condi weapon. The most suitable choice was MH pistol or OH dagger. One hand dagger is bad design. Virtuoso should have used dw dagger in the beginning. What will rifle for? I'm really curious. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you even played virtuoso? Dagger is pure power without Jagged Mind (and is used on power virtuoso). So-called "condition virtuoso" is really a hybrid that trades ferocity for condition damage. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see if it aligns with chrono more than other specs, or if they've made the skills synergise well with everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawaiiboy.2685 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Or they can add a new weapon like a musical instrument weapon for Mesmer like harp to make a bard class since Mesmer does have a bard style vibe like the trident weapon skill 1 "siren's call" it has musical note as logo. I can imagine how pretty Mesmer's healing animations will be it is the prettiest class in the game after all. Rifle would probably be like greatsword dull but unless you make it a healing with boons shotgun weapon then it's good.
