Guild Wars 2

Hey there GW2 players.

Recently, after much thought I decided to create and try out the Mesmer class. Now, i’ve not played GW1, nor have I read much upon what the Mesmer is, what it can do, it’s strenghts and weaknesses.

I’m currently favouring the Greatsword/Sword+sword weaponstyle with a staff as an offhand group event/mob handling. What I’m asking for is a bit of advice on enhancing/leveling my Mesmer with these weapons in mind and also maybe some of you Mesmer veterans can steer me on the right path for creating a decent PvE solo build.
Any advice/suggestions on Traits, Utility skills, weapon/armour managment i.e what to focas on in regards to power/percision/condition/health/vit that sort of thing.

Also, if you could tell me the purpose of the class. Is the illusions for aggro or damage? how to use them correctly. Stratagies, tactics, healing skills and such. At the moment I assumed they were much like pets, but their aggro rate for me is about 50/50. Taking into account of seperate cooldowns for the shatter effects makes me think they are not used for aggro purposes.

Advice on to where to spend trait points, what to focas on during the leveling process i.e should i try and max out power? or spend half of it on something else that suits my weapon prefrences.

I understand there has recently been a ‘nerf’ to the Mesmer class, but any help regarding my character would be much appreciated.

Currently my char is level 12 (i think, i was tired when logging out last night and didn’t look at her level)

cheers guys.

Greetings, as far i can advice you, ignore the changes! As any other nerf some were fair other changes were not that fair, but people always overreact to the word it self “nerf”.

You can use some of the spvp build calculater to simulate some stats for pve or get close just for an idea.
This one is what i use , http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/ on the armor menu while adding your equipment just choose the acessory and 1 amulet.
