Guild Wars 2

only in the lower levels is that true, a Mesmer above level 40 with a skilled player can really shine.

About the levelling thing being my first character was (and is) a mesmer i had no trouble levelling infact i thought it was easy, the first ’’big’’ boost i got is when i started getting clones on dodging, awesome.

and as Irena said 40+ you will walk through PvE like butter, and were not the worst soloers by a long shot we can build so many different ways it is actually a little unbelievable you’ll be able to solo most champs, slowly and strategically but there all do-able.

Until level 40 work on staff and sword/focus as it is a great combo that has good defense from the sword and conditions from the staff (plus the movement speed from focus). After 40 put 5 points into illusions and it will be a breeze!

dont forget if you do go focus it also pulls back/forward players and NPC’s
