Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone, Senyura here from Jade Quarry. Recently, I’ve wanted something else to do rather than farming my brains out for gear, when that isn’t what I really want to do (Especially as a Warrior). So I recently created a Mesmer, and it’s very tricky…but the more gameplay the better, am I right?

Anyways, would anyone mind giving me the possible builds and/or things to keep in mind when it comes to playing a Mesmer? Builds wise, I’ve seen people with staves and a Greatsword as there secondary set. Should I be doing that, or something else? What are the viable possibilities is basically what I’m asking. Plus, what tips would you have for a starting Mesmer such as myself?

Thanks in advance everyone, happy pwning.

There’s a sticky at the top of the Mesmer forums that details builds and guides. I would suggest starting there. Tons of info.

Hey welcome to the class!
It’s good fun, we can tank, support, dps, stealth and mess with peoples’ minds

There are lots of different builds to try like Shadix just said, though while levelling I would try out all the weapons really as I think they can all be used effectively (apart from maybe sceptre after the 50% confusion damage reduction…) and then see how you enjoy playing the class most

It can be a bit slow at the start since a lot of the builds are mainly built around the traits rather than stats or skills, but if you bear with it it’s great once you get higher.

Good luck with your Mesmer!
