Its the condition ranged option they needed. The downside is kalla herself. She is the most energy expensive hero and the utility she brings is worthless.
You could go 100% alacrity build but you would be useless because all your energy is used up so its not worth it over chrono
As for dps the best dps is channeling your elite swapping to mallyx then channeling that elite. Its completely boring.
Elite specs are suppose change the way you play and renegade fails at every mark

clearly they want people to use it for it's healing support rather than damage. So why does it do damage at all? The entire spec is designed retardedly and doesn't change gameplay like an elite spec should like mirage, chronomancer, scourge etc. It's just a +condition damage trait line and that's it.

Good job on balance once again ANet!
Since wow went into reruns I picked GW2 up again which I only got to level 25 ranger back when the game released. I started a new account because I had forgotten how to play the game. I found around level 20 ranger bored me again. I then tried necromancer because I heard good things about scourge and Reaper but I found I couldn’t enjoy regular necromancer long enough to level up to there. Yes I could level boost to max but I want to explore the game from start and work my way through it right now so I tried Mesmer.
I have found that I really like Mesmer and I am level 30 now. Still feels good. I’ve joined a guild that does everything actively and as a noob I want to know;
What are the playstyles of endgame Mesmer, chronomancer and mirage? I like being dps more than a healer or tank, though healing isn’t out of the question I just prefer dps.
Which of the three is in more demand in raids? Pvp?
If you push a button that finds you a 'random group' and it gives you a random group of people with random skill and random knowledge then you have no right to complain that a 'random group' button did what it was designed to do. The fault lies in your inability to make friends to play with instead of relying on a button designed to be random. It is a 'random group' button, not a 'best of the best' button.
Chronomancer is all about that f5 and distributing alacrity. The new F5 will essentially let you use all your skills and CDS twice if you do it correctly while at the same time applying alacrity reducing your and other CDS even more. It's a very supportive offensive spec. Mirage playstyle is really the current mesmer playstyle except better, it feels like this is what mesmer needed before elite specs were even a thing. You lose dodge but gain evades and super speed and deal a lot of condition damage and compliments shatter extremely well. It's pure damage.What are the playstyles of endgame Mesmer, chronomancer and mirage? I like being dps more than a healer or tank, though healing isn’t out of the question I just prefer dps.

As far as healing go mesmer healing is pathetic. You got only one option which is mantra and it's garbage.
There's also zero reason to use base mesmer once you have access to mirage since mirage is literally just a better mesmer. People actually don't want it to be an elite spec because it's honestly just a mesmer.

also you do know every zone scales right? You should just level boost and get access to everything and the zone will scale to you to it's level and you get rewarded for level 80. If you're just going to complete everything anyway you might as well get a jump start.

Chronomancer plays the role of tank/boonshare power house...maybe too well because people expect you to be play boon sharing chrono or do enough dps in mirage to justify not going chrono. With that said, Mirage does very good damage and an interesting alternative playstyle (different dodge mechanic, nots of flashy moves). Like zito said, base Mesmer is basically trash now compared to its elite specs.
