I’m somewhat new to PvP and would like some tips on how to face a mesmer. I’m decent at 1v1 against most classes, but I can’t for the life of me fight a good mesmer zerker. I know how to block their bursts but when they figure out that he/she can’t kill me in 30 seconds they kite me with their greatsword lazer beams till I die. The only way I can win is if someone joins in to dps while I nullify their CC.

I tend to run jack of all trades master of nothing builds for WvW roaming or PvP to cover any type of setting.
plz halp

Meta going around for mesmers right now makes them super annoying so I understand your dilemma. My advice… stay on top of them as much as possible. I went full meditation on a few today while dueling and I found that chaining your teleports and GS leap will pressure them hard enough to make them make a mistake. GS pull, symbol, whirling wrath as usual or zealots defense and it’s a done deal usually.

This is going to sound stupid but I have had great success against mesmers with my burn build just playing around. Like you I often find them to be amongst the hardest classes for me. I just went back to a classic triple med burst today and got owned so hard against a mes I rebuilt my burn guard between the next match just to get them back. Worked out quite well. Really hoping next balance patch does some good for condi guardian. My body is ready…

As stated above the best way to deal with a Mesmer is triple meds dps build.

Did it again tonight with another Mesmer. Triple med for sure is the way. Here’s my build since I love sharing.

It’s my actual gear and not necessarily the best choice in runes either but hey I need to run fast.

Even it hard to take 1v1 Mesmer you should be ok in prolong the fight till he bored or make mistake
In wvw I fought pu Mesmer for 10 min while he couldn’t do anything but harassing
Against zerk lure him and burst him so he back off
But in both cases it’s hard to kill them as they can run away fast and disengage

Yeah you pretty much have to stay on them. JI, GS leap, Sword teleport help a lot.

I like fighting Mesmers since it’s more like a game of who can confuse the other guy the most. Loads of teleporting, explosions and flashing lights.

Best way to take them down is to play them at their own game and keep on them as much as humanly possible.

My triple meditation guardian doesn’t have much issue with greatsword mesmers either but what do you guys do about pu mesmers? I sort have just accepted that match up as a walk away and hope he isn’t the power variant.

I’d argue that the lockdown mesmers are scarier. Best of both worlds, DPS and stuns. Mind Crush and the chillruptor variations are better then the PU.

They are also harder to play which is why you see less of them.

My advice is to stay with the blob OR hang around near a doorway so you can get back inside.

Nobody at Anet loves WvW like Grouch loved PvP. That’s what we need, a WvW Grouch, but taller.

PU mesmer is broken and impossible to kill unless they mess up. If you face one, either run or ask your team for support.

Hah, this is what I feared about mesmers. I do better when I face a mesmer of my skill level but its a game over when I see mesmer with max WvW buffs slaughtering a herd of uplevels along with their mentor shepard. Good game. Thank you for the replies.

Totally agree with the triple med Dps builds. Run 10/30/30/0/0 and trait for 1h sword and crit and improved meditations. Run sword/shield sceptre/focus with all knights. Then its just a game of keeping the pressure on. I’ve actually managed to 1v2 two mesmers and come out on top with this build. (One was uplvl but don’t tell anyone)
