Suffering this problem, as well. I really want that new Skimmer skin. :(

Why? All those things are conditions and undesirable. What rationale behind wanting to self inflict a reduced less precise method of movement. One of gw2’s appeal is fast paced action style combat. It's better than what we have now. I dislike losing access to the weapons, utilities, and traits that I've chosen for every other area of the game.

All I want to see is a "sunken" mode, where you move and fight just as you would on land, only under a weakened Cripple/Slow effect given the thicker "air".

I know Mesmers could stay stealthed permanently at various points in the past, but do they have the means to do so in their present state?

How long has it been doing this? Did anything on the computer change prior to the issue, such as installing new programs or games that might have messed with d3d9.dll, updating Windows/drivers/GW2, moving folders around, etc.?

Sculpted cups are plenty cool. It's just the low-effort printed ones that are lame. Drinking out of Jormag's massive noggin would be amazing.

Yes. Two versions, in fact: a normal mug, and a self-cooling one, because it's the absolute most perfect opportunity to incorporate such technology.

Now that's what I'm talking about. :) Just checked out Shorts Mesmer. One video talked about the burst combo slowly and with enough detail that I could actually figure out what was going on (rather than just "this is the burst. Here it is slowed down. Got it? Good, moving on"), and another talking about baiting and probing defenses gave me information I'd never considered. Thanks a ton!

I understand how the ability works, but I just don't know when is the best time to be using it. It has such a long cooldown that I always feel like I need to keep it for emergencies, and then it rarely gets used because of that. So far, the main thing I use it for is double-casting the healing Well. What do the rest of you do with it? Any game mode is fine; I want to eventually be capable with Mesmer everywhere, anyway.

But then how will I spam Portals everywhere? :(

Macro sounds like the kinda thing that ArenaNet would frown upon. X) What kind of equipment should I use? I often see people mocking full Berserker in WvW, but that (and the equivalent all-out-damage stats for Condition builds) actually seems to be what the Metabattle builds suggest. Can I take defensive stuff, or is Mesmer all about confusing enemies with clones so you never get hit in the first place?

(Elite specializations included.) Are there any WvW Mesmer players that put out videos showing good, not-cherry-picked fights? Stuff where they're fighting competent opponents, not preying on losers like myself? I figure I can watch these at 25% speed to maybe, hopefully, be able to register what in the blazes is going on. Further, are there any forms of practice anyone can recommend? Currently, I die before I can even comprehend what class is attacking me, which isn't terribly conducive to self-improvement. Thus far, I've been going sniper Soulbeast and hiding up on ledges so I can pick on people in relative safety. But I really like Mesmer's Portal for other stuff and I can't be as cheap with them.

I just got around to actually doing the minigames myself, lastnight. It was so adorable. :D I'm doubly in favor of this, now. Daily achievement integration sounds like a good way to incorporate it. Perhaps some sort of minor boost to the mount after playing, as well? Increased endurance regeneration or higher damage on their dismount skill, perhaps. Hardly a necessity, but might be a draw.

I like it! I played with Aurene once in a while in the beginning. It's a little inconvenient to have to go to the egg chamber for her, though. Open world stuff would be more fun.

Anything from Super Adventure Box. Yes, I know. I'm tacky.
