> No, you're the one who's not getting it. Evading bursts at any state without effort isn't a new thing from Mirage. Other professions have had similar mechanics through passive invulnerabilities since day 1. But it's only an issue when mesmers have it.

> Btw, the fact you consider this as against game philosophy tells us how little you know about this game. Combat has always been dominated and characterized by cheesy mechanics: Passive invulnerabilities, passive healing outperforming 90% of active healings, unlimited stealth access, AoE doing more than single target skills, skills doing insane damage, evades in spammable skills, skills with range beyond reasonable terms, insane damage modifiers, unblockable as a buff and not tied to specific skills...

> If anything, Mirage Cloak is just another example of the combat philosophy of this game.

 

Then all professions should be able to use endurance evade while Immobilized/CC'd according to you. All that useless blabber trying to prove a point that it's not gaming breaking to evade with endurance out of a punish because you couldn't react fast enough yourself.

 

Mirage Cloak is not an example of this game philosophy at all, punishes requires utility to counter drawbacks with cooldown and Mirage Cloak doesn't, evading was uniform across all professions to be reactive with the Daredevil having the slightest variants that compliments the role of being a low health pool professions using a weapon that has emphasis on not being stealthy but engaged in combat like a frontline profession and was actually nerfed in the one it should be as well. Mirage Cloak should have never be accessible on Evade from the base, Elusive Mind should be forced to gain access to Mirage Cloak on evade or evades shouldn't be doable at all if hard CC'd, CC is the use of a status to disable someone and force them to use utility to recover. Do you get it yet or do you prefer having Anet constantly nerfing the wrong things? I think the latter is obvious since were going in that direction.

I consistently get oneshot by retaliation + smite condition from core guards because retaliation somehow is capable of doing 8-10k dmg burst in less than 2 seconds cus every skill you use is multihit and you get hit for 1k dmg on every attack you on top of 5k insta cast smite condi

I mean, you can literally check in game right now the stats for previous season and see how much of a lying kid you are and considering this forum uses account names and considering i play with the top 50 all the time i can pretty much say that you're someone who's never been in legendary and you're not a high elo player so you pretty much have no clue what you're talking about, in case that wasn't obvious

If we have 9 classes in the game then we should have more than 5 people of each class on average and mirage is usually less than that which is a complete joke). Not only it's preposterous to say that mirage is good but you even go as far as saying that its the most problematic and overpowered class in the game, which is nowhere even remotely the case. Not by statistics, not by facts, not by my opinion either, which matters more than yours when it comes down to gw2 pvp

Except sindrener did to a guy who just played mesmer for 2 days. .. And he is a legendary ranked thief so there's that.

[Simonoly.4352]

Maybe the OP won the 1v1+1+1 because all three of the players they came up against played really poorly and the OP is just better at the game? From the video: the Thief was completely incapable of maintaining pressure when the Mirage was low and without endurance even though this is exactly what Thief is good for and seemed to just be randomly spamming vault/bound - no risk of actually losing here. The Guardian just....thought a non defensive res was a good idea against a power burst class - the Guardian is almost entirely irrelevant in this video actually. As for the Warrior...dodged precisely one time randomly when the Mirage wasn't attacking, used healing signet right in front of the Mirage which prevented any sort of actual recovery, didn't actually dodge again or use shield stance so ate all of the Mesmer's attacks and never bothered to kite with GS when running low - just because you've rolled a Warrior, doesn't mean you can ignore defensive play people! Also, why did they all rotate in a one by one fashion onto a point against a class that's designed to win duels? Madness!

 

I think the same results would have been achievable on other classes. A Soulbeast or Holosmith might have actually ended the fights quicker.

[Luna.6203]

**honest question** I know that i'm not important enough to get some official answer. But i'm going to try it anyway. Please can any community manager ansfer me:

**Are you going to nerf mirage-mesmer or not ? ** or are you planning to ?

 

People creating new topics all time about mirage. it's all pointless because of :

1) There is absolutely nothing new... It's just repeating all over same thinks.

2) It seems like nothing happening... You dont care or it's intended.

 

Last night at pvp lobby almost 50% players was mirage. Coincidence right ? 90% teams got 2xmesmer. But i guess it's just because people like purple color. I'm really curious if you have any official data how many mirage-mesmers actually playing right now ? I'm pretty sure you have and i'm 100% sure you have to be aware of this situation. Than why ? it's really your lovely favored class or what ? i don't understand and look how long this problem endure...

 

So let me rephrase question. Is this state of mirage really intended ? and it's going to stay that way ? Because if yes best way is probably roll one or make something that can actually counter them which is not case for majority of classes where you chance to win against mirage is something about zero percent.

 

P.S. And please don't tell you are working on balance patch. Because overall balance is not that bad. There will always be some classes more powerful than others no matter how hard you try to put them on line. But mirage is beyond normal imbalance. It's ridiculous. Really you can't win against them unless they are incredible bad.. Usually bots.

 

I can't really believe how long you ignore that problem. Sorry but it's just no longer fun and it's time to act.

[Psycoprophet.8107]

U know a class is ridiculously op when the mesmer try hardship always resort to the most ridiculous rational’s to defend their class. Yeaaahhhh that’s right don’t move or cast skills that’s how U’ll kill me,no point in running cuz my thief like mobility,so yeahhh it’s ok shhhh it’s ok just stand there and don’t attack and u’ll Sure show me lol

So classes have to use all their utility slots for Condi removal to avoid the one class from abusing condi’s.scourge does but avoid the aoe circles and ur good. Than If torment is stacked don’t move or use skills lol nice! But we’re sopised to be aggressive to take them down but be aggressive with less movement or skill usage,also nice! Ontop of their high evades and defences they can disengage or chase as well as thief. That right there sounds like a well thought out spec and completely balanced,not sure what the community has an issue with?lol

Actually when we spend hours doing balance suggestions with nerfs and up who answer literraly every main things peoples are crying about mesmer while not letting mesmers be useless then when you see only 3 mesmer participate in this post while 90% of players prefering create new : "nerf mersmer, nerf mesmer, ..." posts...

Same for other balance suggestion posts other than "nerf all" because "I don't play mesmer so I don't care as long as I just one shot them."

What to say... 90% of people are just no productive sentimental who will never have an overall vision of what they ask for.

Doesn't matter if you don't attack to avoid damage, they will kill you anyway. Got Torment on you? Doesn't matter if you don't move to avoid damage, it will kill you anyway. What's the point in even HAVING conditions if there is no way to play around them except for removal?

>

It's just horrible design. Even if you dodge their initial stealth burst.

 

They can just spam clones and condi you up again and again.

 

Then you have to stand still and not use any skills? What kind of game design is that? Just ridiculous.

 

That's just their attacking options. Do I even need to go into their god-like defense? You can't hit them.

 

So you play immaculately you dodge all their crap, basically don't touch the keyboard for periods of time then you think they must have everything on cd? Nah they just evade evade evade, stealth and everything's back up.

[Lilyanna.9361]

So, after a decent amount of duo games, my only issue with condi mirage, or mirage in general?

 

The CC.

 

The dazes, the stuns, the blinds, the fact clones can chase people for AGES. I've finally (after some practice on my reflexes) am able to tab to get to the original mesmer fast enough in a high pressured fight, but the CC that the class gets with almost every shatter is atrocious. The Condi is ridiculous, but let's me honest. Less people would probably complain if they weren't getting dazed, blind, or stunned spammed into oblivion while having Condi on them.

[MyPuppy.8970]

Is this a new one, or is this the resurrected previous one?

[Shadow Order.7258]

Condi mirage is a carrying spec that has made spvp more like feeling you're swimming in a cessppol and fucked wvw roaming even worse then it was before. It's a frustrating mess that only super high burst classes or super players call balanced. Anet balance and mirage slipperyness has done so much damage to the game. Even you three content streamers and their viewers make fun of this shit. Good job continuing to fuck two of the three game modes.

Nani?!

What are YOU talking about.

I've been in gold 2-3 grinding up to plat and ALL I saw was two mirages every team? Shit, I WISH I had games without mirages. Makes it easier for me when bunkering on a point with Weaver or changing a team fight as Firebrand.

For me personally, I simply do not care about the "theme of the class" at this point. Evading while CC'd and the amount of pressure they can generate while evading, is simply too much. Every class should be forced to play within a certain set of rules, namely, if you fail to dodge a key CC, you should be punished. Pure and simple.

 

It is extremely oppressive, and dominating ranked play. "You don't see nothing but Mirage on the leaderboard," yeah, yeah, but you DO see an abundance of them within every match (3-4 in my experience, on average), and those players have an inequitable impact on match outcome for the amount of effort required to produce said outcome. I'm not the greatest player in the game (not even close), in fact, I suppose I'd be right at average (Gold 2), but I have played MMOs regularly for around 16 years and I've never seen a class so completely transcend gameplay rules within the context of its game setting. It needs serious nerfing.

It's a Mesmer main, don't expect objective dialogue. It's _all of us_ that are wrong. This smarmy attitude is one of the reasons I want it nuked from orbit, if I'm being completely honest.

Kinda yeah, his comparisons were weak but he still have some points to be looked at.

I can't agree on the shatter parts cause those are traited, you have to trait them to get confusion on all shatters and blinds but I do have to agree that you reapply conditions too often for a normal builds to handle. I mean, you can dodge and clear all you want but in the end of the day, there always some clones to apply conditions and not to mention how secure it is compared with another condi build.

At the end of the day, people will cry about mesmer but some crys are justified, in this case they are. I prefer to fight a power mesmer than a condi one simply because I know that if I play well, I'm rewarded.

I blame the still rather limited (it's gotten much better over the years) combat log, that doesn't provide a comprehensive enough picture to draw conclussions, as well as player ignorance that stems from the rather unintuitive way the game teaches you, about game and class mechanics.

This is objectively false. If it was bad at high skill levels no one would be running it in Monthly ATs. Most of the EU AT teams were running a Mirage, and when they didn't it was because the situation called for soulbeast. A couple teams even ran double mirage.

 

Stop spreading misinformation just to defend a busted class.

 

The fact is mirage has far too high defenses that cannot be justified on a spec that is capable of attacking while defending at the same time. Any scrub can sustain themselves for days playing staff mirage, not just in 1v1s but in teamfights too, all the while doing lethal damage. Unless it sees a serious reduction in the invuln spam and ability to flat out ignore CC mechanics mirage will always be busted and core mes + chronomancer will continue to be unfairly hit with nonsense nerfs intended for mirage.

No it shouldn't. It's a waste of that person's time. Just like most feedback is. They aren't going to do anything with mirage. The class is broken at its base level. Since they just reworked the cancer that is clone spam and mirage is designed to be slippery don't expect a change.
