I guested onto TC because I assumed it would have CoE open (it did), then after the dungeon I used my DR 1%er pass not realizing I was still on TC. First thing I saw in the chat was a charr RPing with his ranger pet:

I don't really care for the outfit, but Arus constantly mistakes my legs for purple pants until he remembers I am a plant and gets very angry. I consider it a net gain in the end.

Make your idea on a build calculator and I can fine tune it for esports or something.

Just from your description, things you might run into issues with:

  • You won't have much going for you defensively so unless the team is on the ball with peels you'll be just a dead mesmer as soon as you get targetted.
  • You'll have zero condi clear. Spvp is currently pretty condi heavy. I guess you'll have mender's purity but your lack of kiting ability will make it not enough.
  • You probably won't run portal and portal is seriously the best thing mesmers can bring. If you do run portal then no condi clear or no stun break, both is really bad.
  • You're using scepter on a power build or you're running double sword on a condi build.
  • No deceptive evasion so no shatter ammo.
  • Probably other things, idk.
You forgot the lack of welfare soldier runes.

I've gotta say, I really like that you can kill the Jubilee bosses with just three or four people. It makes getting the achievements in off-peak a lot easier, and they're pretty simple fights when they're not scaled to high heaven.
It is too bad few instances do the math and understand that one or two parties on each boss right away is far more useful than a immediate or gathering blob.

Not saying it is a big deal and I don't need advice as a ranger in dungeons, I'm just saying that's why people stacked, to just flat out not deal with the poison because of how much she throw it out and the insane damage ticks it does.

That's all.

Look at any dungeon we run with any regularity, look at the sheer amount of things we skip, because they're lovely and annoying to deal with. That to me is bad design, as a developer I would try to discover first why exploit/skip/glitch past stuff before fixing it.
Maybe they will just make it so dungeons kill you just for being near the entrance.

Agreed, but it shouldn't even be an argument, because it's loving insane that certain people don't think there are any effective builds outside berserker. And it's even more insane that I'm literally being poo poo on for encouraging new players to try different stats to find the most fun one.
There are other stats than zerker?

I don't know. I think you're reading more vitriol into what I wrote than there is.

I'm just tired. I spent three hours of my evening in a fractal with people who could have been carbon copies of cletus. I assume they were having more fun playing that way, but I wasn't. Sometimes it really is zero-sum.

In group content, we all force our playstyles onto other people. And while I don't care if hotw is 10 minutes longer or shorter as long as I can run it with cool people, in other content there should be some degree of self-awareness.

Play how you like, as long as the people you're with are okay with it. If they don't like it, find other people.

I just think it takes a certain degree of arrogance to assume it is other people's job to accommodate your playstyle if it gets in the way of theirs, and still more to preach it.

A well-played zerker does not diminish anyone else's enjoyment of the game. A well-played pvt could. Sometimes it's by 5 minutes and nobody gives a poo poo. Sometimes it's by 3 hours because of 3 out of 5 people wearing healing power.

Someone in pvt doesn't care how a partymember in zerkers plays, but the reverse is not always true. Why assume it is.
The only thing being diminished here is my ability to give a drat about what you are spewing.

So I've talked to a couple of other goons who don't play this game anymore and while they assure me this game is crap I'm super tempted to buy into it. The only thing I really care about is WvW and the idea of being able to do that without a lovely level gear grind is really awesome. I was told that this game has one of the worst gear grinds of any mmo.

Didn't get a lot of specifics so I wanted to know if anything was changed since the OP or if it's just bitter vets.
Trust me it is okayish to fun and you should buy it. A much better purchase than more Station Cash I assure you.
