Guild Wars 2

Hi,

could you describe Mesmer pve for me?
Like could you describe an interesting fight and share what you do in such a fight?
Which spells do you use and when?

I am asking this to help me imagine how Mesmer pve looks like.

• Pulling mobs together so everyone can beat them up more efficient and tell me how much damage they deal, while I just smile back at them.
• Interrupting key skills of enemies to disable them and nullify the threat they want to be.
• Reflecting projectiles to protect my allies and throw back damage for ultra high crits.
• Never dying thx to countless options to escape, block and protect.
• Porting my whole party around to get things done faster.
• And most important: Being constantly very stressed with swaping weapons and retraiting all the time.

A pain in the butt class to play, but I love it and it’s so much fun if you master it. But it requires some knowledge, skill and good reaction.

Do you use distortion for teammates too?
Where a guardian does block with aegis for teammates, what does a mesmer do in its place and when? Could you tell me that?

You can support allies with Distortion but I don’t think many Mesmers do that. Using the Shatter means losing your Phants (and therefore your DPS), and the alternative is Blurred Inscriptions which is iffy because Mesmer signet actives aren’t that great (in PvE).

Otherwise a Boonshare Mesmer is certainly possible, but not to the extent of Guardians.
