Guild Wars 2

I’m only level 47 but since around level 30 I’ve been running GS and staff. traits are heavy on phantasm damage. I have no problems soloing or even doing most events solo (besides the few champion mobs shudder).

Even tried in in sPVP and it seems to work pretty good. gotta be on your toes but it seems like a valid setup. II’m running feedback/mirror images/Decoy as my utilities. might swap those around some but they work out alright so far.

Just figured I’d post on here and say I love my Mesmer. Super fun playstyle and mechanics.

P.S. Kittens.

i agree with using GS/staff, alot of people say GS is rubbish but i find it very effective and mirror images works perfect with both weapon skills show you can keep busting out wave after wave of clones/phantasms to destroy your enemys!

Started with staf/scepter-torch and ended with GS/Staf simple because it works great with the build i’m playing (suicide clones/illussions/phantoms)

I agree too, GS/staff is great, I have been playing with GS/staff, now trying sword+pistol/staff, since pistol does a lot of damage, but thinking going back to GS/staff.

While pistol does a lot of damage.. it’s useless in events since it’s mostly single target, so it’s only useful against boss mobs that are up for longer than 0.5 seconds. For trash event mobs, GS/staff is imho the best combo to get the most AOE’s.

yeah, I keep wanting to try the fotm sword/pistol setup…but it just seems gimicky to me. after you do your stun/leap/immobile/flurry it seems all tapped out. with
G/S and staff I ususally open with MB to get a clone at the target for aggro, pop zerker and a spike, swap to staff and pop warlock, after warlock fires I usually just mind wrack and start running to the next mob or group. low CDs, good damage and thats not even using everything there is to offer in those 2 kits
