Good to know. Did you change up traits or skills at all for what was meta pre-patch outside of swapping to staff?

Is that for condi or power? I’m assuming condi?

I really hope it was an accident on their part. If not, condi dps for Mesmer is gone.

If you honestly thought it would be anywhere near balanced right when the patch dropped then I don't know what to tell you other than you have some of the most unrealistic expectations I have ever seen.

I don’t expect it to be perfect day one no. But I do expect it to be somewhat reasonable. The dps options for Mesmer in raid went from healthy to basically non-existent. I think if they had made the confusion change PvP/WvW only it would have been more or less balanced but they went from good dps to no dps in high end PvE.

Chrono the changes were more in line with my expectations. I don’t think they got it quite right but they were in the neighborhood at least and that’s all I expect.

Whether you’re overreacting or not seems to be based on what you used Mesmer most for. If it was PvP it is a glorious day. If it’s PvE or more so raids they might as well have deleted it from the game. Guildies have been testing and the best they could muster was 19k on golem which mean real Raid you’re talking 10-15k which is not viable at all

They might as well have removed Mesmer from the game. They can’t effectively dps or support now. They can support better than dps. But it’s still garbage now.

Is this going to be a loss in DPS for condi mirage in raid? This is a huge concern that has come up with my guildies since much of the sustained dps is coming from the phantasms. If it is, many of them are thinking of ditching it altogether. In my opinion that would be sad as condi mirage was almost the only viable dps for raid as a Mesmer.
