Cant decide to main my mesmer or guardian.
mesmer in group PvE is 100% support. lowest dps class
mesmer in PvP can alternatively go for a burst damage build
Anyway I prefer guardian. It still has a lot of defensive support, but it also has a lot more damage, and its skills just feel better and are more fun to use. I like mesmer’s supportive power, but I don’t like how it actually plays when giving out that support.
Mesmer does really well I think for group support and solo. I haven’t played one for groups as much, but I know the class well enough from solo play to know it’s pretty good. Mes does have a different playstyle from other classes in general, so I don’t think you will get bored with it.
Also have a guardian, and funny enough I mainly use it for solo content. The Monk’s Focus trait with the meditations makes it tanky enough to survive just about anywhere.
