Guild Wars 2

I’ve pretty much tried every profession and I’ve narrowed my favorites down to Guardian Warrior and Mesmer.

Between Guardian and Warrior I settled on the Guardian as A main which leaves me with an alt decision.

I figured since the Guardian and Warrior both use heavy armor it would be pointless to make both at this time and I like to solo so having more than two characters at this time would seem a bit extreme.

So with that said I figured to settle on a Mesmer as an alt when I want to switch things up.

Now the Guardian is a darn good profession for soloing which brings me to the question of " What would be a good build for soloing a Mesmer since they use light armor ? "

Any suggestions on what traits would be good for soloing a Mesmer or does it matter ?

I play a shatter mes with 20/20/0/0/30 which is a pretty classic trait setup for mesmers, weapons are gs and sw/sw at low levels you may have some difficulty since you don’t have traits that buff shatters and you don’t spawn a clone on dodge but hang in there till around lvl 30-40 and it’s worth it. basic strategy is to summon 3 illusions let the phantasms attack once and then mind wrack for big damage. Sword num2 gives you invulnerability and does good dmg and offhand sword 4 is a block and clone summon. Hope you enjoy mesmer =)

Thanks.

What stats do you focus on as far as weapons and armor ? meaning power precision vitality condition damage etc.

This is my favourite solo build, especially useful in WvW.

Well, are you talking solo roaming in wvw, or solo leveling in pve? Those are two extremely different questions.

regardless of what kind of build u wanna play … mesmer is rly traits depend … so lvling might be ( and prolly will be ) pain .. however on lvl 80 mesmers rly shine
statbalance depend on weapon u gonna use .. but if u go for good crit chance u wont make mistake .. even in cond. build

@GuildWarsPlayer, I post a vid from my solo roaiming spec,Shatter Cat Mist link to my different build options and guide is in signature. Enjoy, its a extremly fun build.

Thanks for all the information.

I’m still working on My Guardian and have a few more armor pieces to acquire before starting on the Mesmer which I am looking forward too.

I’ve read and watched all of your tips and they are very much appreciated.

Thanks.
