Sorry guy, I don't think that's how that word works.

It can hit all shots on large targets only, the shots can be obstructed by terrain, and the arrows itself ..how to put it.. follow the ground. They cant hit anything above you like for example people on wvw walls. Lol at this desing. It screams to rework it.

Art devs are praised for example bc they are talented and does their job pretty well. That should give them a hint. Its one thing when all the skills need is number tweaks, its another when the skills are poorly designed and shouldnt be put into the game.

Indeed.

You know, at first when somebody told me that they brought PvE guild to discuss and give feedback on WvW I did not actually believe it. Says a lot about someone's competence out there in those offices. There are just too many wrong things in this game at present.

Moderation on GW2 forums is getting F2P-like each day too, no criticism allowed. I wish it was just the forums but not the game itself . Save for pay to win element but I imagine there might be slight possibility of something like that happening with all those lay-offs. WvW mount is already a bad sign

9 Zerglings approved your post.

I do roaming for most part but I also play in zergs. I never looked down on a zergling unless they curse at me in PM, ruin fun at dueling spots or try to boss me around in team or map chat. Some of them possess so much fake pride. Besides like somebody said, there are clever ways of playing in zerg and there are not really. Gj on trying to reconcile groups though.

Are you from EU, OP?

P.S I concur being staff ele is toughest though.

Because blob mass of wvw community overweights small scale community and roamers, it's no brainer Anet would focus on masses. don't actually have problems with Anet following that direction, what bugs me is that said WvW community often imposes their opinion on the other groups. Whether it's not willing to stick with blob (Make us Whole Again Isaac) or running proper build. Mind it, I have two meta blob builds myself but I am sick and tired of some entitled blobbing shit picking on somebody else for running something they don't consider "ApPRoPriate BUildz"

Anyway, WvW mode is full PvE now so why bother. And in case somebody doesn't believe it still here is a video from other related post

Guess you got "Obstructed"

It's the biggest dissapointing thing I tried out in this game. Of course it has it's niche in PvE (very meh tho) but PvP/WvW wise herald can do things much better. Renegade just feels slow and unprotected and it's very mediocre summons can be CC'd and killed easily. And tbh I'd rather play core which is a joke lol

:open_mouth:

As one of notable examples, I didn't appreciate it when somebody said "oh look at all these mirages popping out, effing annoying" and then became one too.

Still much easier to deal with than some profound examples of your fucked up class

We also get fewer utility skills but yeah I agree. If Anet was capable of that everyone would start calling rev anet's favourite child. Bet mesmer mains would exploit that for sure. You know, to shift said status from them

Scourge shouldn't be a problem if you run Mara/Zerk gear. Just gotta fake your engage or make it less obvious so they don't dodge main burst and then they are proably done.

As for cleanses against mirage I like condi rtransfers more with my cele+ grieving build. It's delight to see mirage trash choke on their own confusion and torment. Used to run old Lyssa runes for some time in my power build before the runes change, converting 5 condition with just one button was pretty useful.

Is it me or Inspiring Reinforcement can be blasted twice with one Echoing Eruption? I rarely used IR for this purpose but can't remember if I could do that before last patch

I liked this "nerf". I don't need to force people to stand in it like before but that's purely from PvP perspective

Conclusion: Rev is lacking a weapon and utility skills.

What will we get? Meh probably another rework for existing weapon one day

Well, spent 12 hours roaming on WvW today. Killed 2 condi mirages in 2vs1 along with some others power/condi mirages later but they were very meh and seemed like your typical FoTM class bandwagon garbage.Then dueled some WSR Axe mirage on red border and could do no shit to him despite running 2 condition transfers and 2 cleanses. Just too much blind, cc, stealth and gapclosers (escapes). Each time I transfered conditions I had at least 8 stacks of confusion and around 4 stacks of torment.

But yeah I imagine it's much easier to deal with them now in SPVP, in 2vs1 examples for example. Which is still trading two for one with some possibility of failure.

God I hate mesmers. And my friends keep asking me why I stop talking and treating them like humans when they roll mirage for roaming. Not even current boonbeast as obnoxious

I had no problems with both mirage builds on WvW with my build. They either died to their own cancer or just ran away.

Power shiro on the other hand, not really. Gotta find somebody competent with mesmer class to know for sure because like you said, there was big influx of PvE players.

Sure why not if you lose ability to permastealth while only opening for oneshots with DJ or MB

Interesting. You got any screen of datamined utility skills that got removed at release?> @"Raknar.4735" said:

Interesting. You got any screen of datamined utility skills that got removed at release?

ye kys mesmer mains

Yeah I've seen some great synergy of FB and Herald in some of my small scale fights on WvW. Not sure about SPvP however because I find holo much better for that purpose.

is barely noticable

Overall it made same impression on me as that diablo mobile announcement on BlizzCon

Think I'll go have a look at that l2 remastered after all...

> Hate playing against all these specs (except mirage) and it would be healthier for ranked pvp if they were gone

Too fat

It should remove conditions by default, without traitline and perhaps be usable while moving (no root). But I believe I am crossing "Mesmer-like too much" line here

> @"felincyriac.5981" said:

> Oh wow so this must mean that mirage is totally balanced and fair at all levels of play, thanks mr mirage main!

Yeah OP protects his class in pretty much every single thread.

Now, the question is, what's percentage of mirages or mesmers one encounters in both spvp and wvw roaming? During hour I spent roaming yesterday 8 out of 11 players were mirages.
