I must be one of said idiots, because I just cannot figure this class out in PvE. I'm trying my best to make greatsword work, but I am just flailing around trying to get any distance between me and the mob because I'm not doing enough damage to kill it efficiently. My clones don't do jack, their shatters don't seem to be effective, and I need MoP always. I kill a solo beast and I am satisfied; if I take on adds, I am doomed.
I'm really pissed because I wanted a greatsword Mesmer to be my main. I switch to a staff Elementalist, destroy everything in my path, and wonder why it can't be like that when I play Mesmer. Totally acknowledge that it's just me, but it SUCKS.
