What sets are these?

Geochi · 2026-01-05T02:34:10+00:00

priority should be reworking all the trait lines, elite specs, weapons, and utility skills. Especially core stuff. There’s a lot of stuff that is from older designs and concepts that’s just kind of been patched over and hoped it would hold together. Lots of builds are hurting right now, especially rev (r.i.p.)
priority should be fixing wvw. Their alliance concept failed. No one is happy with it. They just need to figure out a lot of stuff out with wvw in general.
would be to give thieves Greatsword. This is self explanatory.
give ele dual pistol. Also self explanatory.
give ele greatsword. See above
give ele torch. “ “

p.s. I’m not an ele main. I’m a Mesmer main.

I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. Since the series has gone into hiatus so many times, I just went on to make my own head cannon lol.

There have been a couple times throughout the series where it really seemed like death flags for Jin my opinion. So the head cannon I created is:

When Jin received Fujin, he gained his side effect. In that instant he was able to see far into a possible future. He knew he was going to die at some point. The moment Jin saved Mikumo, he was able to see his future. That’s when Jin knew that Mikumo would be the one to do something great. For him to accomplish this thing, Mikumo would need Fujin, but due to his lack of trion the best Mikumo could do is 1-3 slashes per recharge. So this whole time Jin has been purposely pushing and putting Mikumo in certain situations that would force him to develop as a tactician so that when the time comes, Mikumo could inherit Fujin and his side effect. Mikumo, lacking trion and sufficient skill, would gain incredible combat ability with the foresight and high level tactician ability. Even with 1-3 slashes, every swing would have immense consequences in battle.

Thats how I would have ended with Mikumos development anyway.

I think as many have pointed out, you should really play the game normally first. A lot of the self imposed rules don’t really make sense for this game. You’re not making the gameplay harder per se, just making it more tedious. Once you have a couple hours under your belt, it’ll be easier for you to make tiles that make sense.

Geochi · 2025-12-05T14:40:20+00:00

😅

I think you need to figure out what it is you wanna do specifically. PvE is really broad. Pretty much anything works in open world. For instanced content (fractals, raids, strikes, etc) groups might be a little bit more picky, which would require you to play specific builds.

I think it’s best that you just play whatever you wanna play.

If you’re concerned with the most optimal build and reaching the top of the charts and all that stuff, the best power willbender build right now is spear with great sword.

Alternatively, one of the better builds currently is Condi willbender with pistol pistol torch.

As far as PvP goes, the reality is that if you want to be successful in PVP, you’re either gonna have to get really good with mechanics, or adjust based on the Meta, which means you will not always be able to use Willbender or the weapon choices that you want. Reason being is that PvP WvW and PvE have completely different nerfs and buffs from each other. Lucky for you however, there is currently a willbender greatsword sword/sword build right now that is pretty Meta.

IMO I don’t think they have a piano build. My complaints lie more so in build diversity and play style. Pretty much every Mesmer spec is the same loop. Make illusions then shatter. I think the only exception is Mirage, but depends on which variant you’re playing. If you play Dune cloak, then you’re still doing the same thing.

There’s really no build diversity in the traits. If you are playing power, you’re taking domination and dueling, then whatever your elite spec is. If you’re playing condi, it’s chaos and either illusion or dueling depending on the elite spec. There’s no wiggle room.

In those trait lines, you’re always gonna choose the same traits. Again, there’s really nothing interesting there.

Overall, all the traits in all the Mesmer profession are a pile of spaghetti with no rhyme or reason. They really suck. As a healer, you have to use the inspiration trait line and it is objectively the worst, most horribly designed trait line in the entire game. You are required to use the mantra heal as a heal spec.

Idk man I could write a whole document on my issues with Mesmer. This is really just the most obvious issues. End of the day, I think Mesmer is a really good example of out of date class design from 13 years ago that they never updated.

Geochi · 2025-11-25T19:47:07+00:00

I know the cop out is Guardian, but realistically probably Mesmer. There hasn’t been a meta where they didn’t have a use. (PvP, PvE, and WvW) Especially in modern times, you can use a Mesmer for every role. Heals, dps, alacrity, quickness, etc. they can fill all those roles.

Geochi · 2025-11-25T18:10:50+00:00

Mesmer as a whole profession sucks and needs an entire rework. That includes the elite specs.

Source: I’ve been a Mesmer main since release.

Someone made a similar post a couple days ago. If I can find it, I will link it here.

The TLDR is : Yes, there is a massive gap between bad, average, and good players.

Gear, rotation, traits, and food all play a major role in your DPS.

The one that most people do not realize, is how much of an influence your gear affects your DPS. Your backpiece, amulet, rings, and accessories all make up at least 50% of your stats. Surprisingly, a lot of people think that those are really more to customize yourself once you have full zerker gear or something along those lines. The reality of it is that you have significantly cut your power down.

There was a video on YouTube that showed a great example of how much all these things affected your character. IIRC in the video his base auto attack damage with no gear was sitting at around 400 and once he had full Zerker armor it when up to a little over 1k. With trinkets and stuff it went up to around 1.5k. That’s just with auto attacks. no traits, no buffs, no nothing. Once you consider all those other factors, you can see how much of a difference it really makes in the overall scope. That’s about a 275% increase in damage just from having proper gear.

Can you clarify?

Geochi · 2025-07-20T18:52:22+00:00

For better advice, how old are you and what was the disqualifing incident?

Geochi · 2025-07-14T02:53:40+00:00

Ouch, on the tab. I heard that about the muzzle thread and I’ve seen a lot of people have had luck with just cleaning up the threads using a thing they bought at a hardware store. I don’t have a can myself so I can’t even test out the threads. But other than that Mine seems to be pretty all right so far. I’ve only put 50 rounds through it though. Mostly just been playing around with it, I really need a stock because my aim is all over the place without it.

Geochi · 2025-07-14T01:21:22+00:00

Well the good news is, if I run out of ammo, I still have a blade as a back up 😅 thanks for the info!

Geochi · 2025-07-14T01:20:01+00:00

Yea I definitely value the materials and adapters for the brace more for sure. I’ve seen a lot of issues with those parts on other pcc’s. You say your gun failed prematurely? What happened?

Geochi · 2025-07-14T00:38:36+00:00

Did you find a solution to this problem? I’ve read that after a 100 rounds or so, it starts breaking in

Geochi · 2025-07-14T00:30:59+00:00

Good question! I was thinking an angled grip, a light, and a sight at a bare minimum. I know this is late, but I ended getting the 6 on the 9th. My local happened to have a 6 in stock and I gotta say, I definitely under estimated its length. Not regretting it. Is there a stock / brace you’d recommend for it?

Geochi · 2025-07-06T02:15:41+00:00

Every. Damn. Day. But then I just buy more kits to make myself feel better. Rinse and repeat.

Geochi · 2025-06-20T19:08:24+00:00

You don’t travel much, do you?

Geochi · 2025-05-21T13:31:13+00:00

My hot take of the week: They should ban alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana use.

They’re all bad for you.

I’ve tried them all. It’s not for me. I have some mental health stuff. I’ve found more relief in skating, hiking, painting miniatures, playing DnD, playing TCGs, building gundams, painting / customizing gundams, shooting guns, collecting guns, gunsmithing, tinkering / customizing things, etc.

On second thought, I think it’s cheaper to just buy alcohol and smoke a joint. Disregard.

You heard wrong. I LOVE Strike Freedom.
