Seriously, FC is not the only vice the Mesmer has. "omg, it can cast stuff 33% faster." Yeah, so can my ele with Mindbender, or any rock candy, or a 40/40 set. I am glad that Mesmers are not allowed in most pugs; anything that a pug calls "useful", I call "boring and repetitive".

How is the nerf going to harm you? You'll spam Necrosis slower? Seriously.
You're going to be playing with skills from the primary after the coming update.

The passage is there |

Hmmm now who could that large blue guy on the table be.....

Looks like Blimm's charging a power crystal...who's the "blue guy" you're referring to?

It's a pvp orientated change (assuming it does get implemented) to stop things just being run on mesmers to make them difficult to interupt. Whereas the skills themselves are balanced for their own profession (arguably).
You're getting a bunch of buffs don't worry, there's been plenty of leaks on the mesmer buffs.

Definately looks like the Asura are up to no good in that lab.

Interesting leaked change to Fast Casting, as I expected it added decreased recharge. And I like that its Mesmer skills only, places less of an emphasis on PvE skills being a terrible must for a mesmer, especially with all the upcomming yummy buffs.
I could see Cry of Pain getting a resurgence when coupled with Cry of Frustration.

There are also Enforcers roaming outside the laboratory (in the explorable) which are not there in the mission...so hmm

What baffles me is how an Asuran got his hands on a member of a near extinct species...

Sorry to interrupt from the WiK stuff, but I just had another thought, and I'm wondering if anybody can answer this for me, or if I'm just an idiot and don't understand game mechanics (probably the latter)
When does the check for Fast Casting reductions actually take effect? For example, say my Me/N is about to cast Parasitic Bond (1 sec cast) on a monk with Holy Veil. Does the Holy Veil effect hit first, or does the Fast Casting? If it's Veil, that would bump the cast to 2 seconds which Fast Casting would then decrease. Similar questions could be asked for anything that modifies casting times, whether Arcane Conundrum or Red Rock Candies.

I'm assuming then the correct order of operations is Fast Casting -> HCT mods -> skill effect modifiers (Veil/Migraine/Healer's Boon/etc.)?

And tell me, good sir, why they would be "fooking" morons for changing an abusive primary attribute into a balanced primary attribute?

Awesome. Now with the decrease recharge time, I can upkeep Stoneflesh Aura without Signet of Illusions for Raptor farming. Mesmer will also have superior energy management now and double the energy denial. 27e every 10 seconds and 9e loss every 10 seconds. Nice.
I just don't like the "Fast Casting decreases the activation time of your Spells and Signets. (No effect for non- Mesmer skills with an activation time less then 2 seconds.)" That is so unfair. They're nerfing Mesmer to play Mesmer only in PvP. Might as well make it so warrior don't have the armor penetration in non-warrior professions, necromancers can only gain energy with allied death, ranger only have reduced energy management with ranger skills, etc for PvP.

Seriously at least half the nerfs in GW come from primary attribute abuse, and the nerfs usually leaves the classes poorer off for it.
