New Mesmer looking for Mantra Gear
Hello all, I am Necromancer that decided to give the mesmer a try and I am feeling very squish at the moment.
That’ll happen when you swap from one of the highest HP Pools in the game to a class with an HP Pool on the lower end.
Here is the Mantra build I am using: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fhMQRAsc8al0n7zqR3oXkOSzKdlG16a9IlGCqOT6FB2U6XpaA-TBCBABQt/QN6PmS5HsKBB4kBQk6PPY+LgnIAA-e
Looks like a pretty basic PvE Build so i’ll assume you’re only doing PvE and Dungeons.
My question is: Should I change my gear to something that improves my survival? Or is it possible to run lvl 80 content focusing only on damage gear (Assassin, Berseker, etc)?
Thank you!
If survival is hard for you then yeah change your gear to compensate. Get used to having More dodges and active defenses vs the Necros “stand still and eat damage” play style. Be prepared to buy a second set or two maybe three or armor for later tho just in case you want to go into WvW or Dungeon speed runs or Fractals.
Most of the users that post on these forums are always focused on running gear that is all about damage (condition or Power) since mesmer lacks a lot vs the other classes without Min/Maxing it.

Some options while still retaining dps
Zerk weps + knights armor + zerk trinkets
zerk weps + assassins armor + cav trinkets
zerk weps + zerk armor + cav trinkets.
Bit o extra toughness will allow you to react after a big hit before going down.
I like second option best.
