I keep getting downed!
Mesmer is a harder class to play, fortunately I always play the enchanter/mesmer type, for some reason Im a glutton for punishment.
I always find it rediculous when you have others calling out for mesmer nerfs , as we are for sure the tougher class to master. tricky and fun though.
What sucks for me is, my main is a mesmer so when I try and fool around with other classes in PvE I find it overwhelmingly easy in comparison haha.
Nothing wrong with getting downed on mesmer. I actually do it on purpose sometimes so i can dish out even more damage.
Yeah being downed when you’re a mesmer is crazy compared to some other classes. that illusionary rogue dishes out a ton of damage and you can still manage to keep all your clones up sometimes.
Okay, how is it that you people can call the phantasmal rogue powerful? Whenever i’m downed and pull it up, all the enemy does is look at the phantasm and it shatters.
What am i doing wrong?
castlemanic.3198: no idea what you’re doing different. The mob always seems to stay on me while the Rogue does it’s job.
Monad.7210: I know nothing is wrong with being downed, just saying it happens a lot. Especially in caves where it’s tough to dodge.

This. The fact that you can stack confusion on people while you can invis away with a clone + summon a backstab clone to help kill the target makes a world of difference (well, not really in the wvw environment, but in pve it’s really invaluable).
Only lvl 15, and I’ve never been downed so much on a character. This isn’t an easy class like Ranger. I gotta dodge and weapon swap a lot…and often dodge into more mobs and have to run!
But I gotta say…I love it! The challenge is fun and I’ve come to love my Phantasmal Rogue…no matter how many times I’m downed, I rarely die.
I don’t recall having to swap weapons around a lot at all unless I want to kill the target faster (GS stacking clones, then swap to staff to apply more conditions).
I can use all of my GS skills and rarely have to dodge lol, while being able to keep three clones up and shatter them to end the fight.

I’ve been using gs a lot, but in caves where you can’t get the max distance for more dmg, I swap to s/p. Still trying to figure out how to keep clones up…any tips on this?
