Advantage is with attacker side.

Useless siege are cannon and oil pot that get taken out easily. If u do happen to be on it or near it, expect DH longbow hit, thief sb hits bouncing off them.

Don't even start with the condi.

Next you have mesmer pulls, reaper pulls, FB pulls into a bomb that unless u have major access to stab, you will just end up dying in few secs.

Reaper GS pulls are only just recently that i have seen and somehow works on some walls parts and pulls enemy outside.

If only there was this much uproar when Mirage got neutered.

Oh wait, there aren't 10-15 Mirages in a 50 man zerg.

But, lets cry for nerfs anyway. :)

Does the outfit cut off caps too?

Lets make a new map, put some gates/doors, give em rams/catas and pve'ers will think its a pve-wvw map.

Got me thinking, does the balance team talk to comp groups or meta zerg guild leaders asking them what they want updated in WvW?

These siege changes and warclaw changes kinda benefits them enormously.

Atm there are utility/F5 skills/runes thats just too good when raising down enemies. They not even touched.

So apparently Warclaw and siege were bigger issues affecting wvw and needed urgent fixes than actual class fixes.

Wait, is this the same fight server that some guy was blabbing about a few weeks back like how they don't ppt but would like to drop down tiers looking for fights?

I'm seeing quite a few Necros farming Elaborate Totem in Domain of Kourna near the choya area in north.

I tried to pull a few veteran choyas onto them but they survived cos of their minions...lol.

Don't get that "Shattered Aegis" guy's hopes up.

With his current link, i suggest OP make a pew pew Soulbeast and stay on SMC wall or grab a cannon/mortar.

This is as good as it gets.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but you have only 1 dodge now as Mirage.

If you get focused...you are pretty much dead. And thieves will give you a hard time.

Acid Bomb is so underrated.

Hoping something is done to improve Candy Corn Gobbler.

Does anyone use sword off-hand anymore or is it viable anymore?

Hardly ever see anyone use it WvW. Don't see any builds that use it in PvP.

At this point OP, nearly all mesmer mains have picked up a 2nd class play or simply left.

Come to WvW sometime and see how broken the crap is there.

Staff Daredevil and immob Ranger is pretty viable in groups.

Its high time Anet decides to use KDR with Victory Points to decide who goes 1 up and 1 down so that some of these tanking servers stop hiding.

Well, the so call director must have been playing without the Anet tag and gotten so many 1 shots by Mes/Chrono/Mirage that he would have suggested himself to the dev to nerf Mes/Chrono/Mirage into the ground.

I just find it so funny that so many are playing Daredevil with 3 dodges and yet mirage has to relay on energy sigils.

If fights are what ur after, then why dodging tier 1?

Many times all i see is break keep walls, go inside and bully random pugs with your boon train and then say we looking for fights in tier 3 and 4.

Pretty evident with the tanking cos last week your server didn't make many attempts against AR even.

Hamsters running the server are getting old.

When one of them dies and needs to be replaced, the game resets and causes 1 up 1 down mid week.
