Guild Wars 2

Hi, I just recently started playing a mesmer hearing that I’d be able to play as a tanky role which made me feel happy since mesmer has been a class I’ve been looking foward to playing. I’d like to know some basic information about how I can optimize my playstyle as one, also weapons/build that should be used.

Thanks to whoever is able to provide some information.

For lower levels it really comes down to just using a staff. Start there.

When you get up in levels, start looking around to forums for tank builds (Fay just posted a great thread which compiles them); there a few ways to build a tanky or elusive mesmer. Pick the one that most appeals to you and start experimenting with it to find your own, preferred build.
