Guild Wars 2

Hey there, I’m thinking of making my first alt. One that would be good for both PvE and PvP. I main a Mesmer.

I like classes that have high learning curves, but are rewarding. I like doing a lot of damage. So yeah, deciding between Ele or Mesmer, since the other classes don’t really appeal to me. I haven’t played for more than a year, and I haven’t tried out either of the classes. Could I get some input, like pros and cons or whatever? Thank you!!

I prefer PvP btw, and I want to try to get into WvW

I also do a Mesmer and I like the Ele as a complementary class. Mostly because the only thing my Mesmer doesn’t excel at in the game is large scale WvW (you’re basically just a veil/portal bot). Elementalist on the other hand fits very nicely there and most other roles and parts of the game as well.

“Ele or Thief” = thread title. Post question “Ele or Mesmer”. Surely you understand my slight confusion. But I highly recommend playing both equally and play a zerker version of both builds. Then when you swap to a more bunkerish build on ele, it drastically improves your survivability because you better understand the positioning and rotations (because you learned how to survive on a zerker set up). I wouldn’t recommend going the meta cele ele to start. You can run the meta traits but go zerk ammy for a while.
