After all, Mesmers have so much more style than them.

Clearing Behemoths...

Planes.

So it's nothing much new, but it was still kinda cool (until Jerrypants tried to cast a 4 second hex with less than half life and got r-spiked

)

Soon as I find a way to finish last couple areas... your days are numbered, you monks and your oh-so-expensive 55-set runes

Oh, I wouldn't say that...

Some of us have crazy friends who are willing to give anything a shot

It was a very good attempt... Jerrypants should listen to the crazy tank next time!

And yes. Mesmers > Monks in all aspects of style and fasion. I mean seriously, have you ever seen a monk with a shirt that shines or a dance as cool as ours?

I've been known to go down with a level 16 mesmer tank with IW.

Anyways, nifty shots - I've always had a certain mixed fondness and hatred for mesmers. Depends on whose side they're on. >.>

Yep. Like when I tried to collect my behemoth loot, giving rise to the ascalonian saying :

'Even a 55'er can set off traps... once'

Also a few other monk skills.. he only has 3 Necro skills I believe.

I've also successfully taken groups of 3+ mindblades... tried 6 but got an unlucky interrupt so died

. Terrorwebs are no risk either, the only reason we fail to complete ice king is too much aggro shifts onto the necro (and tanking 18 terrorwebs at once kinda stings.)

Current smite max : 15 (although I die very easily holding that many

)

What do you think about instead of a 55 monk, a 55 ele comes along. Having a enchants last 20% longer+16 earth+Obsidian Fleash= 2 seconds the renew the cast

... And as you did have up there, shield of deflection FTW

a) They're spread out more than that

b) Power drain is also my secondary energy management against terrorwebs, which do not give much energy at all.

c) I'd have to regen to 25 energy whenever I scouted an area, for PS + CoF

Sure, an ele would be very effective as a tank using OF, but you'd be slow, oh so slow after hitting it... and you lack the style. The high style. Not enough energy....????? energy storage.... a good 70 energy and using balth and essence.... Power drain, not needed. And why not use wards. But the main idea is unlimited Obsidian Fleash

I've ran SS for a 55 Me/Mo in my guild before. Granted it was both our first time going down there and doing the 2-man thing...it took us a couple tries, but we made it to smites and cleared most of them.

Haven't done it with any Mo/X yet, so I don't know which was more efficient.

I usually do duo runs as an SS as well, so seeing this makes me smile. (I love SS'ing, granted it's not as intense as being the actual tank, but seeing plumes of damage just rise up from my targets just tickles me colors I can't even even describe)

I'm happy to see a crazy mes kicking some butt mo-tank style. seen Jerrypants quite a number of times, cracks me up every time I see his name.

Cheers for sharing, I praise your achievements

He probably just used Photoshop/GIMP (or another image editor) and made the faded out picture be a layer that is partially transparent. Not that hard.

I have photoshop and all, but do you when you outline an object and copy it, and all u can see is the doted lines of the outside shape, well how do you make the dotted outline smaller so when you copy it it will become smaller?

Thats probably just the selection. Once you click somewhere else the dotted lines should disappear... I believe.

Except my setup costs about 60 times less. 100gp runes

Thats the crux of the issue, that a mesmer can do anything a monk can nearly, for 1/60 the cost and 10x the style. I hope thats not too complex

Dahnel Taijuir made my avatar, ask him how :s

To anyone taking this too seriously, I'm not saying I'm really overtaking a monk, the title is more a joke than anything else. Obviously they're more efficient, but the point is... see what I can do!

very few creatures use migraine...

and this is a pve topic... I dont belive we would be taking a 55 into a pvp arena...

bring back a un-"balanced" ER so we dont have to use 55 types, or better yet a 0sec recast of draw conditions and no AI upgrade.

I think that was thee fastest Dou type, a tank plus a ER E/Mo with draw conditions + zealots fire.
