Guild Wars 2

Ok so first off you anyone that helps me here is also helping me hopefully choose an overall main class to play for EVERYTHING!

On to what im looking for!

So i talked with an awesome guardian in game last night and he help me with the guardian side of things, now it is time to move on to the mesmer side of things.

Ill try to lay it out nicely so its easy to get everything together.

• PvE(Fractals/Dungeons/Map Completion)
  Traits
  Gear
  Runes/Sigils
  Playstyle
  Weapons
• WvW Zerg(Various Close combat/Ranged/Support)
  Traits
  Gear
  Runes/Sigils
  Playstyle
  Weapons
• WvW Roaming(Close Combat/Ranged)
  Traits
  Gear
  Runes/Sigils
  Playstyle
  Weapons
• Spvp
  Traits
  Gear
  Runes/Sigils
  Playstyle
  Weapons

Now if you can only contribute to one part or this that is fine i will take any and all help. I understand my guardian way better now but he just isn’t the same as my mesmer.

as a simple u wanna be,

• for fun player or
• for competitive player

as this look from this out line u wanna be in every where as it posibble.. so as for fun it ll be subjective..

for wvw, for competitive,
if spec more large scaled group orientations fights

• Guardian.. ll be better efficient for group..
  - Where as if u ve already 1 or 2 active mesmer in your group.. and if u wont be boring with veils(slot bot)

My hope is to eventually Master A class, Mesmer/Guardian are my first choices.

It really depends on your own play style and personality. When I started playing mesmer, it just CLICKED, I could do anything and everything on a mesmer well and better than all other classes, it just fit ME not just as a player but also as a person, every habit and way of thinking just worked. So your choice between guardian and mesmer, I don’t think it ever comes down to understanding the class. I’ve mained other things for a while but it just didn’t click that much for me. No matter how much understanding you have for any given situation, it’s how you are, how you think, how you feel, what your instincts are etc.

To gather all this is also a huge undertaking, there is already a list of builds for diff purposes and onwards. But there’s literally a lot of play styles and variation each player makes for themselves for any given situation. Just because it works for someone else doesn’t mean it will work for you and even if you understand how someone else does it, doesn’t mean it will affect your own choice between mesmer/guardian/other classes imo.

To MASTER any class, isn’t about understanding or builds or skills or anything at all, it’s more about whether you are naturally adept at that class style and mechanics. When you are, then any situation with some practice you will master it and perform well

Isn’t this done here already?

In particular the dungeon/PvE section is good (has KillerAngel’s very nice playing guide), and links colesy’s dungeon build as well: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/mesmer/Guide-Lyssa-s-Grimoire-The-Mesmer-Handbook/first#post2916477

Mesmer is also the class that clicked best for me.

as a mesmer or guardian
while giving

• damage
• support
• tank
  ?
  mesmer could do better?
  ok for tactical as veils and portal maybe instead 3rd mesmer or more guardian?

• 10/10/0/25/0
• Berserkers, or addsome vakyrie/knight’s ifyou need some toughness.
• Ruby orb for max damage. I personally use traveler, because I want to wear my t3 as much as possible, which also means for wvw etc :P.
• Phantasm
• You need all weapons, except staff and torch for optimal play. With a sword/focus/GS you can pull yourself through msot situations, incase you’re short on money

That was alot of typing, hope you’re super happy now :P.

You kind of asked for information about… everything. Maybe it’d be better if you met someone in game?

Here you can find the Official Mesmer Forum Guild, it has plenty of experienced Mesmers in it who would love to help you out in real-time.

Or you can jsut whisper/PM me :P

I actually spend 3 minutes staring at this to finally decide to ignore the troll :/. Well, I guess I still fell for it by typing this >__<

this thread is like someone going to a car dealer and asking every possible question about a car before buying it… Honestly, just take it for a drive first, see for yourself, and then comeback with a more concise line of queries.
