Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone I was wondering if you guys could give me advice on a build for my mesmer. I dont need much I just need a basic build that I can do my own tweaking too but still need something that will give me solid ground. I want my mesmer to be more melee focused decent damage good enough survivablity to survive in the close combat area. I need this build to be made more for tpvp since i’m not 80 yet and plus it will give me good practice before I go into wvwvw. I don’t mean to come off demanding if that is how it seems I just want to help giving as much info as I can. I don’t mind shatter or phantasm since honestly i’m more of a jack of all trades character anyway if I need to shatters phants I will with no hesitation for burst interrupt or distort or even confusion pressure I also do not mind using invis with the Pu trait. As you can see i’m not picking on the build and I don’t want a super well thought up build because I believe that is the job of the player but I would like a decent start up build with runes and sigils weapons of course that I can then change to slowly match my playstyle. Thank you ahead of time for those who read. And a special Thank you to those that help with the build.

I should prob also add I prefer Sword/sword,Sword/pistol,or Sword/Torch. I dont really mind focus but I would have to learn how to truly use it later as far as secondary weapons I really dont mind any of them honestly.

Did you check the build thread ?

Sw+T – (your choice)
Torch trait
Melandru runes
Hydromancy sigils
(Your choice) off-hand sigils

Its a phantasm build. The 10 points in illusions are the most malleable.
5 points in Inspiration are malleable if you do not select focus
5 points in chaos are the least malleable as the stun-relect trait is very solid for your goal.
Swap out torch for more damage less survive.

sorry, I guess I left that incomplete.

Thank you very much for the advice on the build =) I’ll go give it a try. Now what I think I will have for offhand weapons will be scepter and sword for more def. So I take it tht first I would summon out defender and I swordsman than stack confusion on them switch to sword/torch for the melee use leap and swap for so I can than use blurred frenzy and use auto attack for awhile switch and repeat or change as needed.
