Don Vega Van Kain.9842 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Hi there,I just comeback to the game and i'm just wondering, is thief's portal is better than the mesmer one now ???In other way, has Anet just make a flower to sindrener to kick mesmer from his team for a more valuable profession ?Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoci.2481 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Yes. Well Thief portal just got nerfed in PvP, but in WvW it is vastly superior to Mesmer portal, except when you want to port a whole zerg, at which point you need several people with portal anyway. Preparation lasts 60 seconds and the cool down starts when you activate the first portal unlike Mesmer portal, and it grants stealth. Mesmer portal can port more people and goes both ways, but those advantages are very situational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moradorin.6217 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Yea sadly really no joke or rant. Mesmer no longer any role or niche. Anything that started out as a Mesmer thing can be done better by other classes that also have better DPS and utility in general. I'm talking about Quickness, Slow, Portal, Alacrity, Moa, and even CC, specifically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine a rev with deathstrike or a gard with symbol of blades who fail every 3 uses because the opponent is ... moving....). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daishi.6027 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 More or less.Mesmer is a class of double standards. Anything good and effective mesmer can’t have because “illusions”, and illusions in and of itself is a double standard to other (better) defensive mechanics, and stream lined/strait forward (better) effective damage methods.
