Killing Condi Mesmer?
At least you are asking for help. Many new people just quit the game after encountering some of the cheezy stuff Anet hasn’t fixed yet.
There are also certain cheeze builds by Revs, Thieves, and Mez where the damage is insane, and they still have mobility on top of being ‘un-hittable’ for large % of time. These things can be dealt with better as you gain more experience, but it can be REALLY frustrating for new players.
With Mez it’s even more frustrating because on top of all of that they can Moa and make you lose control of your character for a ridiculous amount of time.
Your best bet is to spec/equip for anti-condis and play a Necro. Even then you need to time your xfer perfectly and will need to practice a lot in duels.
Most professions are at a weakness right now because none were given the same tools as a Mez – tons of stealth, high damage AI, great mobility, low cooldown utilities, lots of blocks/invuln, longest CC, and both burst/condi damage. You won’t get an answer in a forum on how to deal with all that. You just need to practice.
This game would be so much more popular if they would get rid of the cheeze that runs new people off.
As I accept that condi mesmer is bit over the top ATM BC of its sustain DMG it gets from torment on shatters best class to deal with it is thief what you need to do is get big burst on mesmer at start than inturubt heal stealth and than mesmer is forced to rather run for reset or burn all shatters for some heal
I think necro is decent against the meta mesmer builds because of its ability to send condi’s back to the mesmer but i disagree with the fact that you can burst a mesmer. They have alot of uptime on block evade and invuln, all the while they can still be doing decent damage while these are up.
On druid I can force it to run, but I don’t have an answer to their stealth reset. What do?
If you force the disengage you cap the node, which is actually considered a win.

Current condi chrono meta build doesnt have stealth. If they do take stealth (decoy) it’s a single instance.
To counter mes kit, ranged weapons do the trick. Mes is weak to ranged pressure, especially if you’re +1’ing.
To answer your question though, you’ll need the specific build. You could be talking about anything.
Necro specced for condie transfer is the easiest counter. Even if you don’t land the transfers on the Mesmer itself, you’ll still clear the condies by landing them on clones, which keeps you alive. While the Mesmer build has okish condie removal, it can’t handle the condie pressure that a necro can pump out as long as you’re landing the transfers at least part of the time. Just make sure you dodge moa and you’re good to go.
