He got kicked from the partner program, and the only reason he still played this contentless shit game from 12 years ago was Anet partnership. Now that he isn't partnered, he will never play it again.

@@QUEEROSEXUAL-GENDERMANCER how did he got kicked?

to a lot of people thats already what i do

@@Vallun LOL

@@Vallun :/

how would you design it, compared to other class healing weapons it doesn't seem so bad, its mostly traits that make the build not the weapon skills

@@Vallun it's just uninspired and promotes spam. no real choices in your rotation. static gameplay loop. this scripted gameplay started with feb 2020 patch and makes this game dull. example : firebrand rework. before the rework you had to make a choice which tome to open and it was a commitment - you got punished by going wrong tome at the wrong time as you lost your pages, different skills for different situations, nowadays you just faceroll in and out and 3 pages in each tome are garbage. oh and back then you had the skillful element of stunbreak mantra, now you are so squishy beacuse of boring ranged spam powercreep that you have to run RF. risk/reward and complexity of fb was destroyed so we can have zoomers running around grenading eachother like league of legends. at this spec most specs are gimped to the point this game feels like fanfic. talking about sPvP as i don't play anything else heard PvE got better so good for them. when i look at mesmer rifle i lose all hope in this game because it's anohter weapon where you spam 3 abilities off cd. spvp is turning into modern league of legends.

​@@satangw2you mean how almost all MMOs (and really games in general) end up being focused on the most optimal rotation when in higher end gameplay

@@phoenixbillau-mullins6221 You missed the point. Every skill on the weapon besides the phantasm are flat heal/barrier application so if you don't get them all off as fast as possible you fall behind compared to the enemy chrono. There is no real choices or thought process. You throw all your flat values asap or you fall behind and lose to the enemy chrono. Try comparing that to the old design of firebrand tomes or tempest. You make a choice of opening a tome/going into an attunment which all have different uses, you get rewarded or punished based on decision you make. That is good game design. Mesmer's rifle, partially due to powercrept meta ends up being nothing more than a spam of flat healing values over your team. It devolves the support gameplay, as opposed to Tempest/Release Firebrand that evolved it and ended up being amazing/iconic support specializations. Mesmer rifle is a glorified core guardian and that is why the design of it is awful.
