Im playing a 80 mesmer staff and sword/focus. Condition 30 power 10 toughness 30 im like a walking nuke bomb with the shatter skill as I slot a trait that allow me to shatter onto myself. The reason I went sword/ focus is mainly the speed buff to chase those annoying their and also as a pulling mechanism if u trigger it the 2 nd time. I do great dmg overtime but not direct dmg

haha.. yeah. Well, have to make good use of the illusions. I prefer to have 5 points in the illusions traits. Gives me that 20% reduced cooldown for illusion skills.

This my build for pvp.

HP = 20k
Crit Chance = 48%-50%

My Build for pvp

Want to create a Male Mesmer but really not sure to go with Human or Sylvari. Can't decide which race looks better with the Mesmer armor.. Hmm

So far armor on sylvari mesmer seems better to me, human armor are kinda normal.

Changed my off hand to focus, and went as a clone bomb mesmer, since 10 trait in chaos gives a skill that inflicts random condition on a nearby foe when a clone dies. Pumped up domination 10 to get 20% extra damage for mind wrack. Didnt bother using +15% damage for illusions since clone only deals 3 damage for me, not sure if its bugged but seems to be way weaker for a clone.

And both of the focus skill can instantly become a combo by summoning a warden and placing the veil skill on top of him.

Currently trying to get my inspiration to 20 for cooldown reduction on scepter trait. Running a condition mesmer as I was saying, able to get 1.8k confusing damage with 8 stacks of confusion

sometimes can be confusing for both illusion and phantasm
in the trait under power
got 1 skill that mentioned illusion deal 15% more dmg
not sure does it apply to phantasm as well or not

Lol,

Phantasm / Clones = ILLUSION.

Phantasm is more tougher/stronger than Clones.

rolled a mesmer last night coz unifi spiking. seems interesting, but kinda hard to play?

not so hard if until level 7, you can swap weapon
i used two handed sword for Ranged
and dual wield sword for Melee

ic. from what i read people are saying mesmers have a hard time in pve.

will continue it once my engineer hits 80...

use staff easiest, 1, mob reach u 2, 3, f1 mob dies

lvl80 power precision mesmer reporting in still doing pretty bad in term of bursting in Dungeon and PVE.

The mass stealth thing is hilarious in WvW, ambush dolyak caravan .

ya Mesmer more for constant dmg and team support
not much burst dmg, even the phantasm does more dmg than 3 illusion F1

my female human mesmer level 4 liao.

Rolled a mesmer alt. now at lv21. too bad now attending courses till monday huhu it was pain to play/leveling from lv1-15. then crafted toughness armor and accessories. survivability is quite ok now. and most importantly, mesmer seems to be more fun to play rather than my ranger haha currently running a GS/Sword n focus combo. it is great.

Lvl 80 mesmer now, 20 30 0 10 10. Phantasms are the way to go if you ask me. Just got my Mystic claymore too. PvE isn't bad at all, tho tagging stuff in Orr is a b****. PvP mesmers own faces.

lvl 80

15 25 0 25 5 Mesmer, Staff + 2 Swords / Pistol + Sword , Berserker stack set, takes a while to build up your damage in PvE but when you can get 3 Warlocks up the damage output is crazed.

With a necro / engi in team my warlocks would crit at a minimum of 9k and max of 12k
Best part is being able to make ready supportive skills while your phantasm are doing the damage

Not really a sPvP / WvW build tho

Yeah, playing mesmer now too. Decided to level this first, then the guardian.

Any other tips? This clones/phantasm bits are pretty confusing. I'll get the hang of it eventually.

Mesmer hard meh, hmm my human mesmer level 7 already and I don't really find it hard to play though, and it's quite fun. Higher level I don't know yet, but I guess as long as I don't charge in like I do with my warrior, I should be fine haha.

I have learn all weapons skill for my mesmer except for spear, at the moment using greatsword and sword/pistol.
