As far as WvW goes, my first favorite would have to be Osicat. I was an ele main until I stumbled upon one of Osi’s original Shatter Cat vids. What I love about our class is that there are many ways to play it and many builds that you can run to be effective. And this is why Osi is my favorite. You can watch his vids and see a variety of ways to play mesmer effectively. This is includes various builds, how to make use of less commonly used (but very useful) ultilities, and various situations (solo, small group, etc). I think this not only goes a long way in showing how skilled of a mesmer he is but also in helping out the mesmer community to diversify our skills.

Another more recent WvW favorite of mine is Wing. Like Osi, you can watch his vids and see how to be effective running Shatter, Condi, Phantasm, etc.

In regards to Shatter specifically though, Vash is certainly at the top of the list

I was a big fan of Seven Mirror when he played. To this day I still watch his videos. It’s just so entertaining to watch him make 1vX look so easy. I was a sad panda when he quit the game

In terms of PvP, there are just too many skilled mesmers in that arena for me to designate just one as the most skilled. Supcutie, Lord Helseth, Sensotix, etc are all exceptionally skilled mesmers.

Then there are the mesmers who we all know are very skilled but don’t put out many/any videos. Pyro and Chaos A. immediately come to mind. I’d loved to see you guys in action!

And just recently I’ve discovered Allisahcat!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos and I strive to be a fun, skilled player like yourself.

Thank you :D. I like putting the emphasis on ‘fun’! That’s why the best advice I can give you is to simply enjoy Mesmering, and the rest will come by itself :D

I’m just an internet gangsta. I’m actually really bad and like to act like I’m good.

I don’t put out videos for two reasons:


A) Cuz my computer is rather crappy. =P I had supcutie watch me duel Zoose for the lockdown vid I wanted to push out but… he wasn’t recording! (Nailed some fantastic interrupts too. /sigh)

B) I play this game more inebriated than not. Especially on weekends. x_x


Hopefully, this weekend I can get some stuff out. Internet got fixed up yesterday AND can likely manage some form of recording on my own if it doesn’t lag me too hard.

I saw that one live on Zoose’s stream. Maybe Zoose still has the recording tucked away somewhere =P

I’ve found you can gauge this by the number of “that’s what she said” remarks.

You’d be surprised at how unhelpful the subforum used to be when it came to PvE builds in the past.

I remember that time… The worst was that every party involved believed that they themselves were right. It was just a massive flame war, untill someone finally got forum bans xD

The sad part is, that the ‘discussion’ was because new Mesmers just wanted a viable build that they can have fun with. For some reason that aggravates 1337 mlg speedrunners, making them force that same speedrun stuff down peoples’ throats.

Good times…

Many thanks to all the great mesmers listed. I’ve benefited from the posts and videos of basically all of them.

I love how I can ask a question as easy learning mouse turning and as complicated as interactions between skills and traits.

It always makes me want to find ways to give back.

OH, I see now. Welcome back! Will you finally be picking up a greatsword in a future vid, taking into account all the sigil and other changes?

And wait, GH? So EU now?

I don’t care what people comment about the quality of his opponents, those videos are still some of my favourite gw2 videos ever, and major inspiration in my mesmer journey.

Hey thanks for the shoutouts guys! I’m glad to see I helped so many of you
Being kind is an important core value to me, so I’m glad you guys notice!

To answer a few questions:
I was on a team up until the last monthly ESL final. We were around 3rd best, behind the two engi/ele condi teams Abjured/Absurd.
Basically Mesmer is just too difficult to run and have equal effectiveness compared to Celestial amulet on d/d ele and rifle engi. I think there straight up needs to be a nerf to celestial amulet in order for Mesmer to be back in main meta. Helseth and I have both switched to off classing now. So currently, there are no mesmers in high end play on world level successful teams (55 hp monks is trying it, but I don’t foresee it working).

To people who don’t know me: I mainly hide away in the Heart of the Mists, and I don’t really produce videos with a lot of editing. I stream on twitch and then people see me in tournaments when they watch. People also know me from my guide.

Let me know if you guys have any questions!

Thank you! I’m glad to be back, so much has changed for us tho..

As for the GS situation..maybe it’s something I’ll do in the future, but as for now my current build will remain a secret until I feel It’s time to release it. and hopefully will steer people away from this tunnel visioned meta that roaming has become, I used to love the diversity of builds is come across..not knowing what I was going to be facing next!, now it’s all kind of predictable..

And we’ll my opponents may not be of the highest standards, but, in 1vx situations making one mistake can lead to your death, even against 3 bad players, everyones capable of mashing keys right? And them thief’s can still 22222 you to death! Also counter play is something a lot of people miss, you can make an average player look like a terrible player with the correct counter play!

Your kind words are appreciated!

True that, 1vX changes things.

Looking forward to new build ideas – seems to be a lot of stagnation at the moment, not helped by certain balance/skill changes (ie, mimic…).

I might have to transfer off deso (fed up with T1, but I didn’t want to waste in game gold or money to transfer yet) to AG or something, to be matched up with gunnars.

I hate to inform you guys, but sadly that is just a troll. I even talked to seven myself, if you don’t believe that is him, his youtube has the same name. Unfortunately that is just one of those things that happens.

Wait wait wait. Is Seven A member of OMFG?

I saw Twisted Fate on the roster and his mesmer is named Seven Mirror.
And the his replies here on the thread implies that he knows rytlock (which is a good friend of his)

So which one is it?

Anyone of you guys know Doiid from the old RedGuard guild?
He is nr.1 imho
Special credit to Osi, main reason i play mesmer since the beginning, even if he doesnt play shatter sometimes (why Osi why >.<)

I know,I was in the followup guild to RedGuard(scnd) and I asked him for a few tips,mainly for wvw zerging.He explained me the wisdom behind how to fully maximized mesmer to be helpfull for a zerging group.

To the topic,I played with Osicat many times back while he was in Gandara with the guild Judge.Impressive lad,he defiantly got me hooked up with the mesmer class even more!
Besides that,Im taking notes from every mesmer players who active helping here in the forums such as:Chaos-the most dominant,Rytlock-his tormentor?,Pyro the enlightened,Vashury the annhilitor xD and many more.A wise man learns from everyone.

Got to be Frifox for taking on the mantel of the Mesmer bug thread when we were in our darkest hour. I’m fully convinced that the work that went into that thread led to some game changing improvements that made the Mesmer class so much more enjoyable to play now. Cheers again!

Edit: I can’t remember who originally started up that massive comprehensive Mesmer bug list, but thanks to you too!
