The Idiot Savants[iQ] team is looking for one skilled and experienced Mesmer for our side point position. We are looking to finish our roster and play free & paid tournaments nightly and compete in any future monthly or major tournaments. The four current team members have been playing together for multiple months and have been refining our team synergy. So far the lack of a consistent Mesmer/Side-Point position has held us back to an extent. We are looking to rectify that ASAP.
Requirements:
1. Minimum of R35 and 250+ tPvP wins with Mesmer. Exceptions will be made if we feel you meet the other requirements well.
2. Experience with the various bursty and tanky Shatter and Phantasm based set ups.
3. The ability to theorycraft to some extent and contribute to team discussion.
4. Good enough map awareness and timing to not lose your point. It is key that you do not get your point neutralized before you portal or run back.
5. The ability to win the mass majority of 1v1 fights against most conventional builds. We realize that certain builds like Symbol Guardian are designed to kill Mesmers but holding out for a decent amount of time against these builds is a huge plus.
6. The ability to have a high attendance rate for practice/tournaments. We play from ~7PM-11:00 PM EST on weekdays and may start earlier/end later at times. We try to start at 5-6PM EST and end 12:00-1:00AM on weekends to make up for our fairly limited weekday playtime.
7. A love of the game. We definitely QQ a bit once in a while but we all enjoy the game and don’t let it get us down. Having an optimistic personality is a huge plus.
The playtimes of serious teams in this currently dead game (competitively) never ceases to baffle me. Gone are the days of Sunday – Thursday, 3 hours/day tops, I suppose. You nerds really should take the weekends off and at least try and find girls.

Good luck with the Mesmer.
Says the guy that posts in half the threads on this forum
Because being bored at work right before the holidays and posting on the forums is the same thing as practicing for roughly 35-40 hours per week, including on weekends…?
Check how often I’ve posted on weekends, lol.
(Edit: Oh, you’re the dude who got his stuff in a wad when I made fun of the Naga. Now I see why you took a random swipe at me. Always nice to see the fan club sticking around.)
We obviously don’t all have 100% attendance lol. If any team member has something come up on a day it’s fine and we just pug a 5th for that night. I took a week off for Thanksgiving for example and take random nights off to do things with friends. I don’t know anyone that has something super fun/exciting to do 4/7 days of the week. For me playing GW2 nightly is the default and if something fun/important comes up I do that instead.
In WoW raiding it sucks when someone takes a night off at all since you can’t really PuG very good raiders in 10 and 25 man formats so the schedule is typically limited even in hardcore guilds. I raided 3-4 nights a week hardcore top 10 world in WoW and that felt a LOT more demanding than the GW2 schedule because people whined when I took a night off and then on our off-days I’d be bored if I had no plans for the night.
TL;DR – Chill on the “OMG YOU PLAY MORE THAN ME YOU HAZ NO LIFE LOLOLOLOL NURD” comments.
Most of the gw1 guys have either quit or play pve exclusively. Valor is still around from those days but the rest of us are “new”. Our core has been playing together since shortly after launch and are looking for that person to complete the roster so we can continue to grow as a team, as well as players while we wait for this game to really take off.
Hi, I have 1000 hours played in this game between my mesmer and my necro. My mesmer has a legendary and I make alot of writeups on reddit forums about mesmer builds and advanced tips for mesmers and necros I am really skilled in both classes. I also have Champion Illusionist title so this shows my TPVP play. Unfortunately I recently slowed on my tpvp drastically so I am only rank 25 in Spvp but that IMO doesnt mean anything lol.
In game name is “Rubberr” or Rubbers.5261, I wont be on till about 6:00 PM E.S.T. tonight though, but normally I am on alot.
Send me a ingame mail and ill hit u up, dont look at official forums too much.
