Q:

Hello,

I was looking for something that explained some of the differences in the Professions. I left a month or two after release and I dabbled in each of the professions. My dilemma was trying to find out what I enjoyed the most and I finally landed on Mesmer. Coming back now I was wondering if many things have changed for the professions or if skills have changed a good bit.

Just hoping to find something I will enjoy leveling up and something I will want to stick with. One of my critiques back in the day was that I was sort of stuck with the same skills and changing a few secondary skills down the line.

Thanks in advance!

Some skills have changed a fair bit, such as the addition of Torment (a damaging condition that deals more damage if the target is moving) to some skills in place of other effects but, to my knowledge, none of the professions have changed, barring certain nerfs and buffs, to a huge extent.

I’d recommend sticking with your Mesmer, they have a lot to offer in every aspect of the game and, in my opinion, the most interesting utilities. Thief and Elementalist have been a ton of fun to level up as well, Thief for the combat mobility and Ele…well for the combat mobility as well (except on fire).

Don’t feel too put off by unchanging weapon set skills, after all in any other game you’d be stuck with them after hitting level cap anyway :P
