I did Min/Maxing alot in the first 5 years of WvW but nowadays i can’t be bothered.

Weaver or Rev? Just slap full marauder on.

Guardian? Just slap full Mintrel on.

It works fine enough these days.

Warrior: After 30 hits with the stick, he can use the stick burst.

Stick Burst has a huge tell and does medicore dmg.

Mesmer: Can summon up to 3 clone sticks.

Yes please.

I didn’t see much Warrior representation.

Sooooo....

Should warrior not get buffed then?

Even with the QQ about warrior in PvP lately?

The „ silliness“ is called common sense.

The Squad Leaders job is not only to command the fight but also to create a zerg that had the highest possible win chance.

A Deadeye inside the squad is simply not worth much.

Outside he is gold worth ( the good ones atleast).

And no.

Not every class has the potential to be usefull in Zerging.

At this point, even Weaver can be seen are borderline usefull.

As it is just a second choice Scourge.

People need to except that not every class is good at everything.

Thief/Rangers make unbelievable good roamers.

If we get legendary trinket in wvw. I would asume its with the next Lw episode, when raids get the full legendary ring.

I also asume we get Aurora 2.0 for season 4.

Could be goot timing.

Medi Kits biggest strength is that its main heal has no downtime.

Long term enjoyment.

Its sitting in my bank.

Way easier to make 2-3 amor sets and swaping them if needed.

Yeah, i know about that the shards of glory.

Getting Trinket sets from living world maps is and always was way easier and cheaper.

And lets be honest.

What chance is there Anet will give us better stat types then Marauder and Minstrel in the future.

What?

If you already have the Leg Backpack and armor, what are you buying thats not crazy overpriced?

A full set of trinkets are over 100g in Memories and 1310 Tickets.

Who would ever buy this!?

And NO! I would not pay 20g ( memories) for a stat swap.

Im currently at nearly 21k Tickets and there is nothing on the vendor im crazy enough to buy.

Skirmish Tickets are now usefull.

*The Dream*

When will Mirage get a propper Nerf?

Anet: Soon TM.

I would call what Mirage is doing ingame Bullying, not this.

Its unfun to play against.

People stop playing PvP.

The Mirage Ratio increases.

More People stop playing PvP.

The Mirage Ratio increases more.

Even More People stop playing PvP.

Repeat.

The truth is that, if Mirage would be smiters booned next patch, the 90% would throw a giant dance party on mirages grave.

Hope is lost

I think this is the first time i seen someone complain about AED, ever.

Could be because i have never seen a Engineer (in WvW) use it.

Mace/shield is used in WvW.

But not because its strong.

Mace just „works“ as a bit extra healing and you use the mace trait anyway so why not.

Just let mace auto heal on every strike and (Edit) _decrease_ the casttime of the symbol.

Should be ok.

Its a funny thought.

A max size norn having to backstab a tiny asura.

Team is overextending then getting snowballed.

Yes please!

The fact that im already known for wanting to nerf mirage makes me actually proud.

Lets apply some rules first so we all are on the same mindset.

1. Its WvW Roaming and not PvP. Therefor no "Fair fights"/1 on1´s.

2. The fight in won when a Player get a kill.

3. The fight is not lost by disengaging if the Player gets the Kill on a later try.

4. The fight is lost when the player that initiate the fight can not get the kill ( Enemy can run).

5. There is no time limit.

6. There will never come help.

7. We look at the fight from both sides. Who initiates the fight.

8. If a Player has access to stealth he will always start the fight from stealth.

9. Each Players goal is to get the kill as fast and easy as possible.

10. All players are aware of their surroundings.

11. A Player without Stealth, Extreme Range or some sort of Teleport can not initiate the fight. ( No surprise factor)

12. If a Player has the Initiative then his Win Chance is drasticly increased.

**Firebrand vs Mirage**

Initiative Mirage: Mirage wins.

Firebrand is a sitting duck.

If his reaction is good he can survive some time but he also will never kill the Mirage.

Mirage will either Burst him down or kill him over time.

Initiative Firebrand: Mirage Wins

What Firebrand would start a fight with a Mirage anyway?

**S/D Weaver vs Mirage**

Initiative Mirage: Mirage wins.

Depends heavly on the reaction time of the Weaver.

If the Weaver reacts in time, it becomes a Kit vs Kit fight. Mirage wins that fight over time.

Initiative Weaver: Mirage wins

Weaver can only get the Initiative with Lightning Flash.

Depends heavly on the reaction time of the Mirage and if the Weaver can Burst the Mirage from 100 - 0 in 1 second or less.

If the Mirage reacts in time, it becomes a Kit vs Kit fight. Mirage wins that fight over time.

**S/D Thief vs Mirage**

Initiative Mirage: Mirage wins.

Initiative Thief: Depends

Depends heavly on the reaction time of the Mirage and if the Thief can Burst the Mirage from 100 - 0 in 1 second or less.

( Im currently not sure if S/D Thief has enough burst)

**Conv Holo vs Mirage**

Initiative Mirage: Not to sure here.

Depends heavly on the reaction time of the Holo.

The Holo can not disengage the fight.

The Mesmer can.

Which means the Mesmer has unlimited tries.

Initiative Holo: Mirage

Holo can not initiate the fight. ( I mean he could run Elixer S?)

**Boonbeast vs Mirage**

Initiative Mirage: Not sure.

Im not sure if a Mirage could burst a Boon beast from stealth fast enough.

If the Boonbeast has enough time to react this could be a clown fiesta.

Initiative Boonbeast: Mirage.

Boonbeast can not initiate the fight.

My Tl;dr wishlist:

Engineer:

Buff Medi Kit.

Fix the Medi kit auto attack animation.

Little support love for scrapper.

Warrior:

Buff (in PvE only): Greatsword, Longbow, Rifle.

(Longbow needs a bit QoL and no real dmg buff.)

Make Power Berserker great again.

Thats all i want!

Ok.

„One stunlock = dead“

And how can a warrior archive this stunlock without help from someone else?

Sure a Warrior could do that to a zergling but that doesn’t really count because zergling builds are not made for small scall fights.

You should only compare roaming build against roaming build.

Tell me.

On equal skill level, who would win:

Mirage Vs Warrior

Soulbeast Vs Warrior

Deadeye Vs Warrior

Holo Vs Warrior

Also: How on earth can a Spellbreaker do this much dmg without discipline and berserker power?
