Hi guys! New player here!

I am finishing up with my Engi (which is a lot of fun btw) and I’ve decided to make a new alt. Mesmer is my choice, but I keep hearing that this class isn’t viable anymore. Is this true? Am I making the right decision? Should I cave in and follow my friends’ advice to “go guardian”?

P.S. I’ve seen some videos and I really like the Mesmer’s playstale.

For speedclear dungeons: No Portal / Lupi = No Mesmer
For fractals: Viable but it’s also easy to have a better option
For casual runs: All classes are viable

Thank you for the replies guys!

I’m just interested in PvE. I have no plans on dabbling in PvP or WvW anytime soon. And yeah, I pretty much anticipated to be excluded from PUG speedrunners. But I have a great guild for dungeons anyway.

Thanks again! I’ll be donning my mask of sorrow now. :P

I don’t know who told you mesmer wasn’t viable, but personally I find it a lot of fun, and it’s extremely powerful when used correctly. It’s difficult to get a proper hang of, but as an engineer you shouldn’t have a problem with that kind of thing.

Fair warning. Mesmers have always been hard to level but, with the recent changes, the leveling curve is twice as steep. You’ll have to crawl through hell to get to heaven.

unless you play arena teams mesmer is very viable anywhere else.
