Your burst is invalid. Your interrupts (only magic bullet) are invalid.Sure if you have all cds you won’t die but a cthief won't 1v1 you lol.

It hasn't come close to winning since then and the mesmer main who won that monthly has completely abandoned mesmer in favor of other classes.

Daishi.6027 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 It's almost like we knew this would happen when taking away their second evade, when they already had less evades than most of the medium armors lol.Also even if Condi Mirage is barely playable where does that leave Power Mirage? Actually where does that leave power in general? A misnomer of a one shot build on core, that functions significantly worse than thief regardless of flavor of damage? Great.For it's shoddy design, going mes is enough of a drawback, elite specs only served to fix the class to make it on par. Mes didn't need drawbacks for slotting elites, especially not as harsh as the ones we got.When condi over performed all that needed to be addressed was the application methods, and every change made instead to reign it in has only served to make it clunky and unwieldy, and unfairly nerfed power. Moreover it didn't help that players refused to use genuine built-in counter play, that was exploitable on ANY build, and decided to cry for nerfs.Can we take the knee off of Mesmer's neck already?

LCL.6259 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Haven't played mes in a long time for pvp which is sad because I consider it my main class. It used to be fun to learn the thief matchup but it hasn't been worth the effort in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can win against holos if you play well and the holo misplays once. It can beat soulbeast aswell. The thing with mesmer is that it doesn't straight up hardcounter any class. Most of these matchups are between like a 30-70% and misplaying on mesmer is punished way more than it is on other classes. It can also decently pressure tempests and fb in teamfights.The main problem for mesmer is that d/p thief still counters it and that it competes with thief for the roaming/decap role.If they nerfed the mesmer stolen ability from thief and increased portal duation to like 45 sec mesmer would be viable again.I am a mesmer main btw and i am playing mesmer pretty much exclusivly. Trying pull a rabbit out of your kitten and calling it facts about how good mesmer is, doesnt mean kitten. Lets see some clips of you showing off how this is true or some data to show that you know what are talking about and are not literally making it up as you go. Cause it seems allot like you are just making it up as you go hoping to convince people mesmer is ok, but its in a kitten place rn and we all know it.I'm neither agreeing or disagreeing with anything that concerns Mesmer - my point is solely against the posting clips which as someone who has done that in the past; people will critique the video negatively to fit their narrative. I.e. show something that works and people will say well, the opponent(s) were bad, this was wrong, that was wrong, this wouldn't work against a decent player. The benefit always seems to be to the person who claims it can't work, just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok,sure but that doesnt change the fact that they assert specifically that mesmer has "good matchups with condi rev, confi thief, power rev, weavers, and core necro for side nodes which is a joke and not at all accurate and they supply no proof or indication that is anything but bullshit. So Sure video proof could be picked apart, but that doesnt really matter. If what they are saying was true and they knew it they could just reference some MOTA matches that demonstrate it, or somthing, but its not true so they cant and didnt.

Poledra Val.1490 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Let be honest here, mesmer has been so utterly dominant for more then half a decade in gw2, its great in my opinion to see other classes shine through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
