Guild Wars 2

I’m a level 30 mesmer who is trying to level in WvW. In Pve I can kill an npc mob extremely quickly. Many mobs, fine, they die, too.

But I go to WvW and it takes forever to kill a Pve mob. And versus players I’m just not doing the damage my other alts have done. I understand I will be somewhat weak compared to level 80s but I gear up regularly.

Right now in Wvw, unbuffed. Power 1600, Precision 1500, 400 cndn damage . Crit chance = 37%. 1200 vit and toughness. Wearing level 28-30 blues with runes.

I’ve taken defensive minded talents and skills so far.

And I run staff with scepter-focus (not changing that as that what I’ll play at 80 and I want practice).

Any tips on build and gear as I level, so I don’t hit like a wet noodle. I try to shatter the best I can. My play isn’t the greatest, but its not totally pathetic; although maybe I’m missing something there too.

you’re always goign to hit like a wet noodle until you’re 80 with exotics. even then depending on how you build, you’re still going to hit like a wet noodle.

its just how it is

Players, unlike NPC’s, don’t enjoy dying. They’ll actively try to counter trying to kill them, in fact. You’re just going to have to work on your build, skills, and experience until you figure out how to take them down. Fast or slow, it doesn’t matter, just that they go down.
