Guild Wars 2

I just started playing a Mesmer and I have NO IDEA how to spawn clones or control clones or anything.

I just have 3 powers now (the first 3), and when I repeatedly press ‘1’ over and over and over again, sometimes (randomly) it spawns a clone illusion of me during combat.

I have no idea what created that illusionary clone and sometimes I can get another.

But again, I have no idea how i’m spawning these clones or how to control them. It’s not clear at all.

AND when I have a clone created, and I mouse over my first power, it has a STACK of 3 different options it does. One is from the clone. One is from me. AGAIN I have no idea how to use these.

Are there any instructions for this game… especially for the Mesmer profession. I want to play this class, but I can’t figure out what the hell I’m doing and it’s not clear at all.

Your first skill with the scepter is a “chain” skill. It has three attacks that chain back to back and the last skill creates a clone at your target’s location. Other weapons have skills that create a clone after a skill is used once, and others will even create clones as reactions to attacks.

If you have time, this video has a lot of really good information on the mesmer for beginners. http://youtu.be/7eZ0NNd7b60
