no1 play mesmer?

http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/46560-...r-spvp-in-work/

i play mesmer, interesting profession. not sure what builds i should follow. any good build to follow for PvE and WvWvW?

I am going for Power Mesmer

Our class seems a bit... confused. I look at the traits and I get confused myself. Go mesmers!

in GW1, mesmer is about hex (debuff) kind of attack, as well as interruption.

in GW2, they are changed a bit.....

how changed ooo? how well do they survive in PvE btw?

A dual wielding mesmer should be nice!!

i mean in GW1, mesmer is pure magic class. in GW2 can do physical damage as well..

im also confused myself. haha. i havent put a single trait yet coz im not sure where to go

actually how to i earn skill points??by killing and quests??cant find anywhere that indicates where do i get my skill points..

you can get skill point by doing skill challenge (marked as ^ on map) and by leveling up, and some says also by doing dynamic events, but i didn't chk on that

What is bad now is that my illu hit harder than me

haha... mirror lawan taukey ke ?

reporting in 34lvl human Mesmer

do not estimate a Mesmer ability, they can do crazy amount of damage while supporting your teammate to kill opponent and without hurting yourself.

super escape artist with phantasm,clone,invisible and chaos armor as well as teleporter.

Mesmer is not a dps burst class, you will not see big number damage and few shot to kill your enemy immediate but what a Mesmer can do is to outlast your opponent to make them little bit of something in stun,confuse, slow, condition-ing, mindwrack, confusing illusion and as well as morphing your enemy. It makes your opponent hate to deal with you and require seek for help from their teammate to prevent 1vs1 with you.

While on top of that, you get some crazy supporting skill ( yes I mean crazy)to support your team member in certain condition like helping them removing all their condition/buffing up their boon and swapping boon from your opponent to become yours while returning them your dangerous condition back to your enemy, all of this kind of CC-ing spell counter attack and defensive spell to supporting your class which what makes Mesmer abit unique to other classes.

I can write a lot regardless Mesmer class but meh I'm a lazy person to describe em.

conclusion - Mesmer is a class here to support your team and to deal certain amount of dps to your victim.

a few Quick Tips - I try out a few build for leveling, IMO i prefer both weapon to be 2hd staff/2hd sword while swapping in 1hd sword + pistol or focus as offhand for the extra swiftness.

Traint Point are there for you to build your Mesmer to suit your play style. here are some of the build which easily find on any gw2 forum/guideline conditional base Mesmer, power based, crit based, vitality high hp tanker type based or a balance based is all up to your preferences.


I'm having so much fun to play this class. Totally worth for my 60buck to play a class which not on the classic class list like warrior, thieves, ranger, mage etc.

60 bucks ? u stay in the USA ?

Going Sword/Sword and Greatsword now. For normal mobs and soloing, Sword/Sword deals crazy damage and is more than enough to burst things down in one cycle of iSwordsman, Leap, Frenzy and Mind wrack. For tougher mobs, iBerserker and 2 mirror blades, stab, wave, and swap back to swords should take them out.

I do miss the AoE of the staff tho. Keep a staff in the bag for situations where mass AoE > all. Like most Dynamic Events right now.

I prefer my build of Staff +Sword+Pistol.
Occasionally take in the Focus/Lantern or somesort for my aoe phantasm whirldwind attack LOL

i made a loki mesmer

I found that Staff + Scepter/Torch fits my playstyle for soloing. I didn't like Pistol 5 accidentally pulling mobs. Also, both Staff and Torch have skills that break targeting.
