Mesmer vs. Guardian
More condis and more cc.
Its tough. Power mesmer in my opinion works better against DH. Given unlimited amount of time and space condi mesmer should win against DH, but that is never the case in sPvP and as mesmer it will be difficult to stay on point. TBH, as someone who plays primarily DH I struggle to kill good mesmers, but mesmers rarely can put enough pressure to kill me in time before I can get support. I can also push them easily off point.
If you are defending a point take shot fighting the DH. If I am entrenched on the point do not waste your time.

Yeah DH has too much sustain when they have prelaid traps. I’m looking more for advice on specific combos to watch out for and their tells. When do you usually use SoJ? How can I pressure you off of LB? I prefer power mes tbh if that helps, obviously condi and power are played differently.
Condi Mesmer with reflection is an easymode DH killer.

Yep, pretty much this. The reflects (traited distortion + heal) make the difference between my victory and my loss whenever I duel as a longbow DH vs. a guildie who runs condi mesmer.
I’m not sure how you struggle as a condi mesmer versus a DH

deppends the DH, mace/shield -sword/focus can hold abit the mesmer, blocks, and then sword teleport drop traps can be a big of pressure to squishies.
on WvW even on nomads traps they do the work for me, plus aegis to heal and remove condi it helps alot….
