Guild Wars 2

Hello Mesmer Community

I have just started playing Mesmer. I must say i am enjoying it but i admit it is going to take a while to get used to as i have used thief and ele as my main toons for over 2 years. this is my second attempt at playing a Mesmer (got to about lvl 27 last time and gave up haha). Since then i have been told that Mesmer is painful to play until you hit 30…go figure.

I am mostly going to be playing PvP and WvW. I am starting to like both 1h sword and GS. I know the shatter build uses these weapons and i wanted to know if shatter is a good place to start?

Also if anyone could possible help with some combos / setting up burst / clone management/ any general advice it would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to adding to the Mesmer ranks.

Hey dude!

For PvP/WvW shatter is a great place to start to learn Mesmer, especially in PvP. Shatter will teach you the basics and fundamentals of the Mesmer class while forcing you to stay on your toes and be very active with how you defend yourself.

Sw/Sw GS works, as does almost any weapon combo besides the scepter, many shatter players nowadays are a fan of GS/Staff.

If you’d like to learn more, the best shatter guide you can find is here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/mesmer/Supcutie-s-Comprehensive-PvP-Shatter-Guide/3461238

And also feel free to whisper Jurica or Supcutie with questions. Jurica has a shatter video guide that goes over tips, strategies, and rotations well.
