So Mesmer was my first lev 80 in first days when GW2 came out. Played it with GW and Staff. Liked it. But then I have started WAR alt and everything was so easier.
After some time I left for a long time.
Then 18 months ago I have returned and for half a year had great fun – but with my WAR again, probably not even tried the Mesmer.
And then I have left again…
Came back month ago and decided to try something new as I have disliked Berserker elite on my beloved WAR. On friends recommendation I have got Reaper – man what a class… 2 HP bars, tons of AoE…

And then I made a “mistake” – I decided I want to craft other legendary and I am in need of Gift of Exploration. And my Mesmer had 75% map explore already so it was obvious choice.
So I transferred equip from Necro to Mesmer… just for a “few days” to run Tyria for explore…. it took me literally 1hour and I was hooked!
How could I ever stop playing Memser in first place?
Combat is so fun. So much utility. Chronomancer rocks! Wells! So nice synergies in traits!
Truth – dps is quite lower then on Reaper… But I can live with that.

Long story short – I have a new main. And crafting Bolt instead so Mesmer has another nice shiny

Player plays the game. MetaKitten plays the DPS meter on the golem.

Correction Dude, they do know balance just the fact that it has been for PvP sake over PvE is the problem (too bad Anet was not wise enough to just make PvE and PvP skills, traits, CDs, etc. totally independent).

Well for Chronomancer, it has been for raid’s. I could be wrong tho.

@curtegg they still don’t balance all that well in PvP though considering we have classes you can fall asleep playing and still win the game and then we have classes like Mesmer where you can even be above average and still be facerolled by someone playing specific classes.

But yea mesmer is awesome. Coolest class I have played in any MMO by far
