Preliminary Skill Update Notes - 23 April 2010

I fear the Wind Riders...

Those Wind Riders were pretty weak and their interrupts recharge poorly, so you could just cast filler stuff and then you'd be set.

My old illusion build that I still have saved will appreciate the Frustration and Wandering Eye changes.

Not much about energy management.

im so happy that im done with the vanquishing..

Mesmer skills that are mesmery and still powerful?
Understanding of fundamental problems and a willingness to change them?
Future attention on Dervish and Paragon?

The only thing that bothers me.....these seem like they will all be abused by other classes more so than benefiting mesmers. Hopefully they will realize this and put a "clause" in there if u will.

Buffs......For....Mesmers?..................

50% failure chance unless Fast Casting 5 or more.

Buff(s) for Fast casting, purple slinging, dancing interupters.
kewl..

I second this thought...

This. Is. Big.
Sounds promising!

Wow. Talk about scary. Get your Hex Eater and Purge Signets ready.

lol Migraine
That thing will be so OP

I can play my pretty mesmer nao, yay!

Sounds neat, I think I might finally give mesmer a go.

Well now theres a debuff on HM creatures.

Hardest enemies in gw of all time now?

imagine... max degen.... all spells interrupted.... slow skill activation.... clumsines.... yeah FTW!

this is gona be awesome fun to try these skills out! (haha gg backbreaker spammers, getting a new rival in, WHAT?? A MESMER??)

I agree that I think lessening some of the casting times on some of the longer to cast skills could be an issue if there isn't a clause as stated above. Really like how things are shaping up though!

The new Psychic Instability just screams win...

GHAHHGHGHGHHGAHHGHAHGHAGA

Psychic Instability = for every 10 seconds, enemies are knocked down for 4. Woah. Also Stolen Speed is nice on a Hero, to make sure every enemy is hexed and give your allies Fast Casting. Now Mesmer will boost party DPS too...

Migraine = woah. Slow downs everything PLUS it's a Dazed but harder to remove.
