Mesmer WvW Zerg Build - NEED HELP
From a technical, cynical if you want, point of view: if you are going to be the “veil 1” or “veil 2” mesmer, make sure you have veil slotted, drop veil when asked, then use your gs to do low damage on a single target (occasionally 2 or 3 if you hit someone else with the lazer).
Outside that role, you’ll be pretty useless with those numbers and there’s no build I can honestly recommend for 40+ zergs. Maybe the next patch will give you some tools to be less useless, but we can’t speculate on that.
Run any gear you feel confident with. PVT for “training wheels”, mixed zerk/knights/cavalier for a bit of tankyness or just full zerk if you are feeling brave. Look out for retaliation damage, it will destroy you. And thieves. Oh and all those red circles on the ground…
Make WvW Eventful! – WvW, 4 years in
Yes, I have 5 lv 80 mesmers – Funny Puns
Hmmmm I like my hybrid PU build with Zojja’s gear (yes I know it’s banned in WvW).
I die less on that than my full pvt geared warrior.
Stay out of aoe and circle around the zerg.
Veils (switch to portal if needed)/Blink /Decoy/Mass invisibility (ego build)
GS /sword- (in off hand you put in what you need at the moment).
I can solo a camp without any problems on my mesmer (upgraded or protectet by hyleks /orgs /dredge).
The thing with any profession is that you have to find a build tht suits your playing style :p
