People who main the top profession of the month always bring out the 'git gud' and 'low tier whining' lingo.

You are too shallow. I'm not. I never changed my class since the day I picked the game up and fun is always at the top of my list. Even when Mesmer was at it's worse I never came here just to complain and whine about it which by the way in case you haven't realized is what tires me, that mentality that players have, first it was Scourge and SB now it's Mirage and no doupt next month will be another.

Man, mesmer never was even once useless in pvp. The opposite, always present in the meta list season after season.

It's from the beginning of the game that mesmer is the top 1v1 profession in the game and barely every had some counters.

Yeah the burst is old and always been there yadayadayada, but the problem is the insane survivability that mirage brough with perma stunbreaks, evades, stealth, invulns, disangage abilities.

And to be honest who said power mesmer is an high skill class I don't think so, actually it is one of the most braindead builds in the game, maybe that's why people don't switch to it, same reason why I didn't switch to scourge, boring spammy profession imho.

Now you are mesmer main and have to protect your profession till death. But good players have the brave to admit that their profession is nuts and kinda broken.

They tuned down condi mirage and the next day a power mirage already in the meta, mesmer never fall apart even once, so I am curious of those moments you said when mesmer was and you didn't complain about it :)

The lies told on this forum make me laugh. I wish more in the community would know more about gw2 history before complaining and not just lie for the fact that they don't like a class or build.

1. "Man, mesmer never was even once useless in pvp. The opposite, always present in the meta list season after season."For awhile Helseth was the only one who played mesmer in tournaments. Besides that, it was all thief. Burst mesmer was severely hard countered by thief and after HoT by condi classes as well. Thief completely overshadowed mesmer in the roaming role (which was the only role it could do for a long time). This is history, not opinion.

2. "Yeah the burst is old and always been there yadayadayada, but the problem is the insane survivability that mirage brough with perma stunbreaks, evades, stealth, invulns, disangage abilities."Invulns (not counting evade since you listed evade as a separate category then invuln) and stealth were not added with mirage. In fact, since mirage was added, the preferred position is to take jaunt over mass invisibility and mantra of concentration over decoy. The chaos line for prismatic understanding is also not meta. Typically, much, much more stealth was used by mesmers in the past than it is today and mirage added absolutely no stealth to mesmers. This is a fact, not an opinion.

3. "And to be honest who said power mesmer is an high skill class I don't think so, actually it is one of the most braindead builds in the game, maybe that's why people don't switch to it, same reason why I didn't switch to scourge, boring spammy profession imho."This of course is an opinion. However, the fact that in the past Helseth was one of the only mesmer players who could pull burst shatter off in tournaments and the fact that before the last patch before Shatter storm was created there were hardly any power shatter mesmers in platinum and power shatter was not a meta build on meta battle speaks a crap load against your opinion.

4. "They tuned down condi mirage and the next day a power mirage already in the meta, mesmer never fall apart even once, so I am curious of those moments you said when mesmer was and you didn't complain about it :)"You do realize they made other changes to mesmer with the last patch with new traits like shatter storm, don't you? And so your saying since a trait was added that raised power shatter to a meta build that it is automatically op and should be nerfed. Becoming meta = OP. You make a lot of logical sense.

Totally dude

[BikeIsGone.8675]

so people are crying about power mirage now...that is hillarious.Power mirage doesn't even close close to the 1v1er that condi mirage was, and gets completely overshadowed in terms of being a roamer/ganker by literally any thief.It doesnt have any significant contribution to the meta.

Yeah I could get where people were coming from with condition Mesmer and honestly agreed with them.

But power Mesmer has so many losing 1v1 matchups. You’re just a sub par +1 and will always be overshadowed by thief.

we are talking about gw2 pvp scene here. dont be ridiculous .people complaint about power mesmer even when it was literally thief food .this time is like when game release , people were saying mesmer has everything before they knew the game well .https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/7x4ugn/34_mesmer_teams_are_now_consistently_winning/look at this , a so called balanced team facing 3 mesmer at mid point , somehow they feel they need to figure out who is who , not drop those insane aoe .op even claimed that previous meta the firebrand and scourge were there only to fill non- mesmer spot .

[Daishi.6027]

@Kako.1930 said:That's because there are issues. If there weren't issues then people would probably all be complaining about different things. The fact that several strangers agree on the same things while the only ones who don't are the ones who main the problematic profession shows that something isn't right.

Just because something is touted by a lot of people doesn't make it fact or true. Mesmer has always been a noob stomper class regardless of it's place in the meta for years, and for years people have been vocal about it despite not very many top players, slots, or over representation in matches which is much more evidence of the contrary.

On point to current Power Mirage.

Best 1v1 spec?Is that claim based on more beneficial matchups? Or saying nothing can beat it 1v1?Ranger builds and some War builds can out sustain it, also some Engies can kill it, Condi checks anything not runing inspiration,It has a fairly even matchup with thief, if thief is good enough to play around phantasms and cooldowns (which is much easier to do now).Plus I'm only mentioning who can win the fight, plenty can push it off the point if you know how to avoid shatters, which to me is a win.

Better than p/d theifMirage has range poke and more tells but with visual noise coverage (which if you fall for is your own fault), Thief gets no tells and access to a lot more stealth.Fighting both of them requires the same type of anticipation, but while mirage is rewarded for landing that burst within the few clean opportunities it has before momentum shifts. Thief can safely wait and try again even in the event the numbers are not as high. But honestly they are really about the same, and one combo will reduce a target to about the same thresholds.

What does OP mean?I think everyone is arguing their personal criteria of OP. You shouldn't do this, you only serve to make the game worse.Conquest is the only place where balance matters. Even if Mirage had the most favorable 1v1 match-ups, 1v1 match-ups are irrelevant because that is not what balance is designed around. I honestly think it's to early to tell if it even has a viable tanky on point 'team stack-able' apex predator, but so far it does have 'counters that beat the most common power mirage builds in conquest.'^- This is how 'Meta' develops. You don't complain because something beat you 1v1, again you only serve to make the game worse. Instead you see what is strong against it and start running it's counter. If you do not play anything that counters it, well that's to bad.If you don't want a 5v5 team game based around conquest, well then complain about that, and argue for the game type you want with the balance to be structured around it. Don't take it out on Mirage, sometimes what you want to run doesn't counter what you want it to.At the same time, if you cannot avoid shatters you don't get to complain, you have to get better. The game shouldn't have to nerf itself to be at your level.

The main burst is the same burst since launch vs what was buffedSo Lots of changes, from increased autos, to one time phantasms some like disenchanter hitting pretty hard, also double Mind Wrack! it's like Chrono all over again.

But honestly, the burst combos are the exact same as what existed since release. There are slight increases like how mes actually gets crit damage if they go dueling.Or how they get up to 15% more damage after spawning a ton resources in illusions.

However this thing everyone is complaining about that has remained the same since before the specialization patch pre HoT.Sometimes it had lighting from sigils before the change, sometimes it would be paired with a staff instead of a main hand sword, more recent years 15% or 30% more dmg to stuned foes in dom.But it was over all fine. So 'Fine' in fact that it was an objectively worse option to thief up till the specialization patch in the early days, then later lost relevance to DD again in HoT, which btw power wasn't anywhere near the par of condi chrono, and until recently condi mirage.But that OG burst that has only slightly evolved with the base power of the entire game since then, that same burst that had pros at the time like Supcutie abandon the class in competitive matches due to being seen as inferior to thief because it was to easy to avoid with to much downtime and no cover, That burst which never really even got to see much use until Condi was nerfed, That burst that is still countered by cleave and AoE that isn't point blank; is what is being complained about now.

Is it much more usable since then? Yeah, sure. There are more cooldowns to work with, re-positioning tools, in a few cases reduced cooldowns or ways to wait them out.But this is the fine line between viable and useless. How viable would Engie be if they couldn't chain defensive cooldowns and have built in saftey nets? How viable would a thief be if they couldn't evade spam or stealth? All that burst has now is a few modifiers, frequency, and ways to set up. The counters still exist and it's not very difficult to play around. I don't like saying it, but honestly... l2p.

[Virelion.4128]

!! LOT OF READING WARNING !!As usual after patch i picked up profession which is most op to play, for the expreimental purposes to learn what are his weaknesess and how to counter it.Because I am a necro main and most of the time I played scourge before patch (I play it still) i can tell you what are basic differences in being OP as a scourge and as a mirage.

Consider that this was a state of things before patch:

• firebrand much stronger
• fights much more sustainable
• more corruptions, condi cleanse for scourgeBecause fights tend to last much longer, condi scourge had mor oportunities to deal great dmg and put pressure, I was capable of soloing characters like warrior, holo and not die. Thieves did not bother me as they were affraid to go close to me.Did not play mirage back then, so I cannot say a lot about condi version of the build besides that condi transfers of 20 confusions stack back o mirage was entertaining :P

After patch:

• firebrand still strong, but weaker
• meta contains much more burst dmg (holo, power mirage, thief, FA eles)
• less sustain on necro (weakness uptime, boon corrupt)
• huge red circles from scourgeAs meta became more centered about burst, surviving without firebrand as scourge is nearly imposible. Old necro weakess to burst damage which is going from no evades (besides 2 dodges), block, stability combined with new meta made on around point kiting and pressuring as scourge nearly imposible without constant babysitting from support.I started playing mirage just to learn its rotation and behaviour in teamfigts. I was surprised how much more survivable to burst dmg I was and how much more dmg I could do. It took about 2 days to learn basic combos and survivability as mirage to keep up with guys in low platinium.Only clear weakness which is coming to mind while playing mesmer now is that I am much more sensitive about lag now and not much more.Note that I was playing power shatter mesmer before but it was even before HoT came out.

[LazySummer.2568]

Played 2 ranked games as mirage in platinum, no idea what I'm doing. All i did was stealth then smash my buttons (especially the shatters and teleports), then if it didnt work out, just spam my evades/invuls/invis until my shatters off cd and repeat. Win games. so hard. Disgusted by it and never want to touch that shit anet's favorite profession ever again. Thieves and FA ele on the other hand actually takes skills and are fun

Why the hell you talk about tournaments? Even dh was considered broken as hell, but never seen in tournaments.

History says mesmer never was useless in spvp like the actual revenant and elementalist, because they kept on buffing it and still remained god pvp mode profession.

You can't deny that. It has a bit of struggles only when countered by dragonhunter but that's it. Mesmer never felt apart.

Now you have to defend your main profession like it's your mother, so you are just so closed minded and everything the other says is all wrong.

I repeat that even pro players admit it. So be honest. The class is broken, dot. If you like play it go ahead nobody says you shouldn't play it.

What tier is this?

I would like to play in this tier where "mashing buttons" can be effective.

My honest opinion is that power mirage is balanced, it's just confusing at times with the break target mechanics but tab-targeting will fix that rather quickly for me, also Mirages are very easy to handle as a Spellbreaker, Weaver, Ranger, Thief, Rev and Holo, for me anyway. I assume better players can deal with them much quicker so to me, Power Mirage seems balanced.

There are times when they slaughter me, but in those moments I know I never saw it coming. That's a fault in me and not the class, they simply achieved their +1 role well.

But that leads to the question if a pointholding structured 5v5 gamemode can only work with a rock/paper/scissors approach of balancing. Im no expert in gamedesign but i never liked the idea of my build determining the outcome of an encounter in any direction even though i can accept that it is not less competitive by shifting decision making to a meta level.

@"Kondor.2904" said:"Best 1v1 class", rip. This kitten has counters, this kitten is killable. Portal is the only thing that keeps mes in the meta comp.

I agree. It was never a really impressive class to begin. It's boring, doesn't truly fight a person, instead they more have mechanics fight for them.

Portal, along with most, mesmer ever bothered to stay within the meta. If it did not have unique utility it would probably be mediocre.

[Bish.8627]

You know a class is OP when they come in a thread and start calling people names.

On topic. Did the last patch not do anything? I haven't been 1 on 1 with a mesmer since then.

[Master Ketsu.4569]

Playing mirage is exactly what made me realize how broken it is though.

Was having minor trouble against Mirage players that could evade and chain stealth for 6 seconds. Upon playing it myself I found out you could actually do it for 12+ seconds.

There is absolutely NO counter strategy to mirage played correctly in a 1v1 scenario. If you are playing one, and you lose, it's because you made a mistake. The class is indisputably busted because it is the one class in the game that has no weakness.

People says it requires a brain to play it right.

But to be honest all I see is:Try your burst combo. Enemy dead. If not and the enemy is still alive disangage and reset immediately the battle and repeat the same combo when your opponent has finished every single skill to counter your combo burst, win.

It is the only profession who can even run a zerk amulet in pvp, come on. Not even spellbreakers run zerk, but mirage can with all the freaking escapes, evades, stun breaks, stealth options it has.

If you run a full power zerk build like some eles do, you should be punished having not so much defense abilities.Mirage got both and they are crazier than any other profession in comparison.

As far as I can tell, in wvw the power mirage is as strong as ever. It can burst 3k+ armor for over 20k damage. I just don't fight it, I hit it and run off. A spec like that is not worth my time.
