It would be just extra work and they would have to create HoT and PoF specialization for that new class as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kencu.5846 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I disagree that we need a minstrel mesmer. A minstrel-bard type of class would be ok but why mesmer? I don't want my mesmer to play instruments in battle. I want them to confse the shit out of the enemy. Maybe a minstrel-bard type new class? We got a revenant after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tseison.4659 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I'll accept a "Minstrel" type E-Spec AS LONG as it has the following: New weapon is NOT yet another offhand. F1-F4 is replaced with an F1 or F1-F4 which acts as an instrument(s) unlocking varying weapon skills. Sort of like how Engineers have kits, the Mesmers will get "Instruments." If the idea of the above instruments is not given, and we only get a warhorn as a weapon, then the E-Spec needs to be a pure healing with secondary being buffs, E-Spec. Other than what I just mentioned, If its not along those lines then don't bother and would rather them give us something like a Bayonetta playstyle with a Main Hand Pistol and tricks/stances.

Yes it does seem like Mesmers would be getting a lot but there are other classes that are overloaded as well. > > How would it work with clones/phantasms? To be honest, that’s always the one thing that’s causing problems for the Mesmer to explore new and fresh builds. So I’d be perfectly fine to sacrifice having no clones/illusions summoned to get bundles that give us XX number of new skills. Check my take on a new wlite spec) For real, we will get something totally different probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with you! If Minstrel only gets a warhorn offhand it would be really disappointing. Mesmer already has an elite spec mainhand and offhand weapon (axe and shield), it's time for a two-handed weapon and some more skill with the f-abilities (instruments).

Senqu.8054 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Im still for a Hammer as new weapon. It’s the only way we can defend ourself against greedy defs who want dodges from us.

There's plenty of bow designs that look like a harp: https://imgur.com/a/hOajsro and there's even some harp bow skins in the game already: https://imgur.com/a/SKEOTqe It would totally work and be unique. > @"phokus.8934" said: > > @"Sodeni.6041" said: > > > @"Fueki.4753" said: > > > > @"Sodeni.6041" said: > > > > If Minstrel only gets a warhorn offhand it would be really disappointing.

I think it might be a possibility that they allow some offhand-weapons to work on the main-hand but it's rather unlikely, not impossible, though.

The Bowbard silliness already has been done by FF14 years ago. And even there are players who hate Bard being tied to Archer/Bow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand this. Just as a friendly fyi, the Mesmer community has BEEN very vocal about the problems and unfairness to the nerfs we got so....if anet doesn’t want to listen then that’s they’re problem. Even though we won’t see EoD until perhaps fall or winter this year, the sooner they announce the new elites, the better so it gives us a chance to work towards builds/armour.

Necrosi.1948 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 honestly that's kinda sad in my opinion. Mesmer is a class who could literally do any kind of thing, from tank, to dps, to healer, or buff. i woulòd like to imagine a mesmer class who istead of shatter skill, could have "Weapons like tome of firebrand" who change thep laystale totally. Even a passive elite, who can trasform you into a tank with hammer to make serius cc, the thing is wanna point it's the possibility are endless from a class like that, so i don't want musiclike class, but something different, original, and most important fun. cuz play mesmer is nothing but frustrating ultimatly in the game T_T sorry for bad english.

I don't understand this. Core mesmer is a completely different topic. There will 100% be a new elite specialization so why not theorize about it? Just because core mesmer and the current elite specs are in a bad spot, doesn't mean we can't have fun and create a new and engaging elite specialization. Also, we don't need another "mesmer is so bad pls fix" post on this forum if there is already 293814848 threats about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There WILL 100% be new elite specs. It's one of the best selling arguments of an expansions. And don't act like they break everything, the devs got better with balancing in the last year and I'm sure the new elite specs will be very fun to play.

It's one of the best selling arguments of an expansions. And don't act like they break everything, the devs got better with balancing in the last year and I'm sure the new elite specs will be very fun to play. Im sure there will be new e-spec and im sure it will be fun as fuck to play for couple of months. And Im sure it will have abilities similar to c-split and chronophantasma that can quadruple effect off phantasms and force balance team to keep them trash since you know, that mesmers espec will get 4x their value so it HAS to be balanced with that in mind. There is a reason why disenchanter and defender are perpetually garbage in pvp and it has nothing to do with them being toxic or easy to use on core/mirage and everything to do with chrono being able to 2x cast them, and even chronosplit with phantasma for quadruple taunt/disenchant. This is why the taunt has 50s cd for 1s taunt while other classes can get 3s stun on 30s cd. THIS is why, chrono. And elite spec will introduce other, bloated mechanics to carry the corpse of a core mesmer and thus make it even more of a impossibility to balance it. It CAN be done but it wont, I seriously doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
