Guild Wars 2

I’m level 80 Mesmer with power is 1637 with staff and attack is 2,748
My power is 1627 with Sword and Gun with attack of 2,334.
but when i participant in dynamic events around the map. i feel that i dealing very little damge. and i cant receive any items from those monster other then the exp and karma that i get after the event. Is there any map that i can farm gold or good place to farm for Mesmer?

You can’t really farm in this game, you have to be moving around to be able to get decent loot otherwise if you stay in the same area for too long you’ll get practically nothing for loot.

As for damage, your damage stats seem fine, just use shatters more often, the 10 points trait in domination improves mind wrack so your mind wrack will hit hard (you need 3 clone/illusions out), the staff isn’t a damage dealing weapon so pull out your phantasms, drop chaos storm with the staff then pull out the greatsword or scepter depending on your playstyle. The clones (ones that look exactly like you) don’t deal any good damage but they’re there for you to shatter.

There’s an event in the NE corner of Harathi Hinterlands that lasts over 30 minutes, crazy xp and has decent loot and there’s a chest in there somewhere.

The staff deals insane damage with enough condition damage stacked.

If you want to deal direct damage instead of condition damage based on your power/precision, I recommend picking up a greatsword and traiting for the extra bounce + Mind wrack crit and dmg increase.

Watch things explode.

They’re talking about tagging mobs. Staves deal damage over time, even if you can melt a target in seconds, you probably won’t do enough because the target will die in a second or two, possibly even before you wobbly staff projectiles reach it. To mark your territory you need to slap it hard with some direct damage before it goes down.

Yoonique, I personally am using the staff/greatsword combo. My first reaction to your post is that if you’re farming events, you’re automatically at a disadvantage for receiving loot from mobs by being a mesmer. We only have a few aoe’s, and those are on a decent cooldown, and because every event becomes a race to see who can pop their aoe’s fast enough, mesmer’s can only do so much. The best thing to do is pop your chaos storm for one group, and use illusionary berserker for another, and shatter your clones as often as you have them out. For my spec, I put 30 trait points into domination and dueling, and 10 points in to illusions. At 30 points in dueling, I use the trait that increases damage done for each readied mantra by 4% and then use the healing mantra, damage mantra, and condition removal mantra for a 12% damage increase. Then I use the trait that creates a clone every time you dodge, and the trait that increases mind wrack damage by 20% and shatter as often as that is up. For my armor, I only use armor that has the carrion prefix which is power, condition damage, and vitality. Try this build and also use the 30 point trait that allows you to activate mantras 3 times (in domination) and I think you’ll find that your damage output will increase a little bit.

Try using a GS+sword/focus for dynamic events and use mind wrack frequently. Frankly, mesmers just aren’t good at dynamic events with lots of enemies.

Staff and pistol are garbage for tagging mobs, I can’t even tag in some events with great gear using those weapons.

Do what Effusion said but don’t shatter the iWarden if it’s hitting something even if it’s target died. It will finish out his attack before it pops.

I have 30 points of domination
20 points on dueling
and 20 points on Illusions
