Help a noob :D About gear/build and etc
You’re going to notice your character change a lot as you level; we’re a bit trait dependent, so your first forty levels are far different than your last forty levels. Mesmers delight in having more viable builds than other classes, though. So, greatsword is only one option. It is a common option, but you’re by no means limited to it.
So far as leveling goes, check out Lazy Kai’s guide. It’s the go-to how-to for budding Mesmers.

The greatsword is one of the weaker weapons of the mesmer, however it’s pretty ok for trashmobs (regular easy mobs) and it’s a good beginner weapon since it’s easy to handle.
For a beginner you should get a Sword + Focus and a Greatsword. Sword + Pistol works fine too and is better for stronger enemies like Veterans. Just test all the weapons and their skills. Don’t forget that you can activate some skills multiple times like the Sword 3 or Focus 4.
Do you play on EU or NA? And what’s your main language if I may ask? ^^
