Guild Wars 2

New player here coming over from wow playing off and on, but wanted to start getting more into the game, specifically with pvp. Mesmer really looks sick and I have been leveling one and pvping, but I am struggling with executing kills and just knowing when to pop what.

When I played wow there were hundreds of youtubers and people I could kind of watch and slowly teach myself how to play based off their suggestions, I dont know of any in gw2. Also if anyone has any tips, the combat system switching over is super different and would like to know what other wow players adjusted.

Check out Sensotix. He has a lot of videos and viable builds to use. You can search him on Youtube and these forums.

Yeah, sensotix has some great videos. Supcutie and helseth are also incredible mesmer players in PvP, so look for stuff from them.

The type of Mesmer you want to be, determines what skills/traits/rotations you’ll need to learn about.

I’d give Countless (clone death build) a look on his youtube channel “BringYourFriends”.

As for tips/tricks:

1.) Learning to recognize certain animations of your opponent’s powerful skills, then DODGING THEM, would be very helpful.

2.) Reading about combo fields/finishers on the GW2Wikia will help a lot.

3.) I’d suggest, after finding your build, making sure you’ve adjusted anything to make it work for YOU.

4.) Learning the maps/secondary objectives

5.) Distortion is your friend :3

Good luck!
