Yes. Mesmer is the new Scrapper.

Yep, Mesmer.

Metabattle has a few but not sure exactly how “good” they are. I’ve been looking for a power or condi build I like with no luck either.

It seems like a mallyx build with boon removal and resistance would be great for roaming. All ive ever seen are power heralds though.

I've done this multiple times. Sure, open field, you will loose, but that's usually the case. I mean, you're not making a smart decision if you are just gonna fight a group twice your size and expect to win, even with rally mechanics, unless they're just really bad. Same thing with roaming or small groups.

That's not an argument as the larger group also has those same things in their tool kit. This week is all about skill, teamwork, builds, and commanders. No more rally crutch, on either side.

Well said. Very much in agreeance.

Completely agree here. With no down state, you can more easily thin out a full map blob by focusing the stragglers until the blob becomes manageable. With a down state, they just continue getting rallied or rez’d.

I chose other. I mostly use Mistlock.

Deleted by me

I like this suggestion. A happy medium.

No stealth week

Ive done fairly well on my Spellbreaker so far. Definately see a rise in one shot builds though. And curious enough, I’m now seeing Heralds quite a bit more. As in, every few roamers (all I do is roam and smallscale), I get a Herald. People getting one-shot power hungry lol

Eeshk. This is disturbing if its true.

+1 for this. I'm having a blast so far. Such a fresh change for WvW. Please consider keeping it!

> Actually, solo roaming is easier with instant kills. In a 1vX (with X being two or more) you can now more reliably make kills. With downed state, they'd have a chance to res, while you don't benefit from downed state at all as a solo roamer.

Ah thats a good point I didnt realize. It was really fun going from 2 or 3v1 down to a 1v1 and the last player from the group trying to run away :)

I hope it becomes permanenent. It would force some welcomed changes to some skills, siege and the like. Not sure how theyll incorporate finishers, since people spend gems on those

Anything Asura.

Im enjoying it as well. I like the risky feel of solo roaming. A bit tough when you encounter 2 or more roaming in a squad, but still fun.

Cue ‘The Purge’

Just go roam WvW for an hour. There are literally 1’000s of them.

Shower thought: How bad do you think spawn camping will get?

Imagine a group of Minstrel Firebrands, Trailblazer Scourges and One Shot Soulbeasts camping your spawn.

To anyone that records, please please do a one shot roaming video with National Geographic/nature channel commentary!

Haha i was thinking exactly this

There’s been what, several hundred posts in different threads without a response from Anet. So it may well be they are okay with it.

I killed a Gold ranked Mirage once when roaming in Wvw. Oh what a day that was.
