I have tried Pistol Dagger condi thief.. but for the life of me I can never seem to connect Shadow Strike on moving targets.. it just slashes through the air and I am left a sitting duck after that.

You just linked a video of a deadeye engaging with people with 50% of their health bar already missing.

Grats on proving my point

Every video linked here is 2-4 years old, mesmers and thieves can no longer one shot.

sorry but no, not in one second.

Even with vitality + toughness gear, they blow their cooldowns instantly and take me from 100% to 0% health in one second. No skill or strategy involved.

Damage meters are the problem, not snowcrow

I love the longbow but I hear its bad for fractals and strikes. How much of a DPS loss is it to use compared a scepter?

you get to heal and do condi damage at the same time

but between power and condi quickbrand, I feel power rotation is more easier wheras condi there is so many buttons to push and things to keep track of.

engis are supposed to outsmart their opponents

Mesmer is my favorite class, but I dont play mine anymore. Other classes perform so much better in all other roles.

trying to get that part of the achievement but I have no idea how to complete it, I have already crafted begginer meals and deserts but I dont get the acheivement.

Has Anet acknowledged how unfair these classes are? Most classes have trade-offs and weaknesses, but these three have none of that.

Mesmer is my favorite class, but I just cant play mine right now because I do half the damage of those three classes while having none of their surviability.

Last balance patch did very little to change the meta in spvp, when can we hope the next rework to come up?

I ended up with the Power variant, I felt it was smoother and the rotation is easier. Condi variant felt too much like playing whackamole

The other day a necro or ranger pushed me into a wall and I got stuck inside, could not /gg to kill myself or anything and the game basically turned into a 4v5.

Today, one of my teammates also got stuck inside a wall when pushed by a ranger, in another map, and he also could not do anything about it and we lost the 4v5.

So seeing how unlikely it will be for Anent to fix all the maps, could you devs simply allow us to kill ourselves with /gg so we can respawn and help our team? This is getting beyond frustrating to experience.

I know the fights well and I never die any of their attacks, but as a commander with 0 friends I always lead PUG strikes and accept anyone who joins with open arms and no elitism, but I often get groups that no matter how much I patiently explain the mechanics some groups keep wiping and wiping, leading to toxicity, frustration and disbanding.

Those two fights are disproportionately hard when compared to all the other strikes. And In support of our soon-to-be steam neighbors I propose some adecuate nerfs to ensure everyone is having fun, which is what games should be all about.

I am not saying Anet should turn them into cake-walks, but the difficulty should be between Bears and Cold-War... not cold-war x3 times harder.

I have a healbrand I use for wvw and strikes, just started venturing into fractals and I noticed healing isn't that required so I wish to help with the DPS.

I see there are two variants of quickbrand, condi and power. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

Their social media guys clearly stated that whatever item was on sale on the 31st would be the last sale. So either they made a mistake or Anet took notice of our complaints.

Well looks like they listened, equipment expansions are on sale

Not really, because I play other MMOs and not all of them have these issues.

And I am never the only one, as most people in map chat are are quick to agree when someone points out the lag.

I am talking about lag not framerate.. lag is server based, so no matter how beefy a computer you have, the lag affects everyone in that map.

Have you done the world boss rush event? lags happens in any map where there are too many players. Steam will make all starter zones a lag fest.

Unless Anet does something about it, the lag will scare away many potential players.

Character slots did go on sale a week ago or two

The lag is bad now, imagine how its going to be once the game releases on Steam.

The influx of new players will be meaningless if they all quit within 2 days because the "fast action combat" comes bundled with a 4 second lag.

If servers cant be improved or upgraded, then its time to put a limit the maximum number of players per map. (40-50 max)

The point of this thread, my dear, is to give new players a more welcoming experience.

Many new and returning players have found the current system very cumbersome and confusing. Anet needs to change this.
