Guild Wars 2

Hello im creating a mesmer, and they are wayyyy different from the ones in Guild Wars.
Whats the best weapon combo for leveling ?

Best regards,
Thanks,

According to Lazy Kai’s Leveling Guide, Greatsword (and whatever else floats your boat, I’d recommend Sword + Focus for mobility & defense) all day, errday.

Are mesmers any good in pve , WvWvW, sPVP and hot-join ?

Mesmer is good in all aspects of the game except open world farming of events with a zerg due to a low number of AOEs. They do fine here but they can’t tag mobs nearly as easily as other classes.

Almost all weapons are viable. I generally roll with staff, greatsword, sword&focus. I interchange staff & greatsword depending on the area. If it’s a pure range fight, I’ll use both.

Be careful with GS the phantasm is messing up right now… Was doing lvl 30 fracs last night and it kept missing/ only hitting for 800

When I was first levelling I ran GS/Staff, I found the staff helped immensely with survivability and kind of let me be more sloppy with my own movement and positioning. I also found the #2 backstep/clone creation seemed to trick enemies more as opposed to other clones which I felt they ignored more often.

Mesmers seem to compound their strength around level 40 and I noticed I was having an easier time and stuff was melting faster around me.

Now that I’ve been 80 for a while and am gearing up, I absolutely love greatsword and sword/focus. I always read that sword/focus does huge damage but I never noticed it in my early levels, I felt like it was too dangerous and I got hurt more than I did the hurting. Not anymore, I run full zerker gear and sword/focus does some sweet damage. Plus the master Inspiration trait ‘Wardens Feedback’ which causes your temporal curtain and iWarden to reflect projectiles created huge ranged enemy hate. Add the Reflect utility and you’ve got 3 options to shut down ranged enemies, and sometimes your timing is just right and they absolutely blow themselves up with their own damage.

Sword + Focus and Staff/Greatsword. Focus on Power and Precision.
