    Can't help but feel that Mesmers have 1 too few 1H options and 1 too many offhands.
    Yea it was discussed several times. They need to fix scepter first.

    Scepters clones shouldn't spawn in melee, but maybe 600 away from the target? Plus attack 1 needs to go faster, the clone generation is too slow.

    Another long time Holy Priest checking in! \o

    Loving Mesmer so far. I admit that sometimes I miss straight-up healing but try to compensate that by supporting ppl with other skills.

    I would love if the Restorative Illusions trait healed other ppl besides yourself (or if we had a Mind Wrack-like shatter that instead of dealing AoE damage did AoE healing...) but hey... maybe someday

    Phantasmal Healing, the 15 point Inspiration minor trait, pulses I believe on a 600 yard radius from every single Phantasm you have up. Seeing as my Sword Phantasms tend to live awhile, most of the time, it's something I run with almost constantly.

    I actually LIKE them being in melee because it gives me a shield to hide behind... however we should totally suggest that we increase scepter attack speed since that'd fix a significant amount of issues with mes.

    You can hide behind them when they're ranged too, still works. Besides, doesn't this go against your "BUT IF YOU STAND LIKE THE CLONES THEY CAN'T TELL ITS YOU" mantra?

    Thats a gameplay i made of the 3 tournament games, as a mesmer. It was a pug, so we had no audio communication. But was fun and i decided to post it.

    tPvP 1/3 (Forest of Niflhel)


    tPvP 2/3 (Legacy of the Foefire)


    tPvP 3/3 (Battle of Kyhlo)


    in the end we got second place.... the nice is to see the Trebuchet as the main reason.... we didnt go for it at start, so we lost.
    Thanks everyone... and hf.

    doesn't work with scepter 1, it does work with the sword and scepter block, as well as staff 2 though... and once you have a bunch of clones up already then that gets fucking confusing...

    I like clones taking a hit, but because they spawn in the aoe that somehow always happens to go into melee... yea no thx.

    It also works out poorly in regards to the whole "which one is which?" thing. If you notice they're wielding a scepter, and clones are spawning in melee, they're not going to have a hard time with it.

    Of course, if you stand in melee, not only is there no projectile travel time, but you'll be right beside your clones, I guess.
    I hope you haven't forgotten my role in this little story. I'm the leading man. You know what they say about the leading man? He never dies.

    If you give in to your impulses in this world, the price is that it changes your personality in the real world. The player and character are one and the same.

    I've really only been playing sword/sword and scepter/something still. Maybe I'm just stuck in a lot of events solo (people have been avoiding them for some reason) but it looks to offer the most utility with damage.

    Oh, and how many priests are here? This is getting scary.
    <-- That is otterly adorable.

    I mained a Boomkin/resto druid, but the only other max lv char i ever played ever (and actually played as my main through pretty much all of wrath) was a holy priest

    PS: Im not a huge fan of sword, it just doesn't sit right with me... well main hand anyway, i'm a fairly big fan of the offhand sword

    i guess the priest thing has to do with priests manipulating the minds of their followers

    just like in real life? XD

    I have a couple ego-stroking theories on the priest thing:

    1. We like challenging gameplay with things to manage
    2. We're used to having to work harder to get decent results (and we LIKE it)

    and maybe...
    3. We like our shiny sparkles and the Mesmer is quite the shiny butterfly :3

    never leveled any kind of priest.

    Um yeah, no. I've played Shaman, Druid, and Priest. I assure you, Priests do not have to work harder to get decent results. :P
    (nor do I consider Priest healing to be challenging!)

    Harder than Paladin maybe, but that doesn't count.

    So about that Scepter Attack speed...
    Link to Gif

    Because of how it's chained, it can't trigger the next attack until the first one lands. Thus we have two "melee" weapons, and no actual ranged weapons?

    Edit, turned that into a Link, because I'd rather be nice to people browsing on phones (or those of you still on cup and wire connections )
