GW2 Ranked PvP Mesmer - Map control with Portals (Mirage) Nov 2023

Obfuscate. Disorient. Confuse.

[@NigthSprings]

Awesome gameplay. Recently I started to play Mesmer. Your build is so fun, way more fun than meta battle one for mirage.

Thanks for watching! This build is a bit hard to play at the beginning, specially with portals. You'll need practice, but be patient because it's worth it!

Buen video:)

Carrion Mirage is so underrated.

I would like to hear commentaries and to see the build.

[@GirdleofMelian]

Hi! you have the build at the end of the video. About commentary, I do not plan to do so for the time being. Thanks for watching :)

[@leonardciupei8018]

Hello! I just watched your videos and i have to say your playstyle amazed me! I also play mesmer and I would really appreciate it if you would reconsider on a video with commentary, I will admit it's kind of hard to try and figure out the various choice making you do in game without any other sort of help. In any case it's really enjoyable watching these videos, 01:08 was honestly beautiful. @@GirdleofMelian

@@leonardciupei8018 Hi man, ty for your words, really appreciate them! I understand your issue, but make a whole commentary of a match is very difficult for me since english isn't my mother language. I could try with an authomatic voice program, but I need to see how that could work; plus I don't have so much time to edit and manage all this things, but if I see any possibility I'll try :)

[@leonardciupei8018]

@@GirdleofMelian You're welcome! I understand your difficulty, I wouldn't mind commentary in your native language tho(which I'm guessing is Spanish?), youtube's automatic translation is pretty good sometimes. But I don't want to put pressure or anything, it's still really good as it is, keep it up! :)

Really enjoyed this gameplay , I been playing a lot of mirage lately hovering around gold 3 it’s crazy how much more the game is focused on decaps and kills the higher rank you are. I cannot stand playing in low gold abs under with newbs yelling STAND ON NODE

[@GirdleofMelian]

Sometimes it's difficult on every rank. The more you know about the game, the more you realise you know nothing! Thanks for watching :)

I'm hesitant about using this build. If your team is dominating, this build won't bring much. If you're behind, I wonder if it will it be enough to pressurize the enemy team and turn the tide.

[@GirdleofMelian]

It depends a lot on the game. The build is not meta at all and I don't recommend it if you are not an experienced player, if you care about rating or if you want to carry every game. About portals, it's a complex playstyle that also depends on the team, and people are not very used to using them; that's why you can't get as much potential out of them. However, I do think you can make your team dominate (and keep it) if you manage to control the map and your teammates' overrotations. If you like the build but don't want to play with portals, I'd recommend replacing the skill with Signet of Illusions. Thanks for watching!

@@GirdleofMelian It's true that portals are underused and complex. This conversation got me thinking about an early ambush. You let the enemy team sit mid while the team waits at base, you stealth, tp, portals everyone in, and they take everyone out by surprise. Even better if they take the portal while stealthed.

Please disable camera shake, this is so hard to watch..

[@GirdleofMelian]

You're right man, I will try. Sorry about that :)
