Guild Wars 2

Hello Mesmer’s forum,
I have Mesmer lvl 12 and so far i see my Mesmer is pretty weak and have low power attack, my questions are:
1. If should I give a try to Mesmer and keep lvl him to lvl 80?
2. Did the Mesmer get stronger with the traits? ( Mesmer DPS build)
3. If it worth the time? or waste of time to lvl him?
4. Also if the Mesmer are good at dungeons (CoF and AC also Arah) and fracalt?
Plz explane your answer =)
Thanks in advance

well if u a new player try something diferent, like ranger or warior. mesmer have many tips and trick, and in low lvl with staff or sceptr is rly slow kill but with gs it much more easy, (i take nageling giant solo with low lvl mesmer)
but in the end mesmer is to strong. he can beat everyone in pvp 1 vs 1, can help group with buffs, heals or new crap in dungeons if some1 die he cant wp, so mesmers time warp can resurect u in seconds.
build variacy is epic, wanna be tank? u can
wanna have dmg and instakill like thief? u can
wanna be suport? u can
wanna troll enemy? u can 100%
but dont forget, for good memsmer need both hand right

/sry for bad eng

Yes.

~Fin. End. Period.

I would like to hear more answers from other Mesmer’s Users

Don’t be discouraged by the levelling, things start to tie together after you hit level 40 – a whole lot of useful traits come knocking at your door.

Use the levelling period to learn your class, it’s actually more fun than it sounds.

No, this class is terrible. They can’t do anything and they’re super bad at what they can do. Clearly, being able to create minions that tank shots and die constantly is bad. You also can’t do anything useful, because 10 seconds of AoE quickness is just terrible. You also suck at being able to reflect projectiles with all those bubbles, I mean, who wants bubbles? And all your skills suck, you can’t help your party or yourself, ughhhhh.

I like the bubbles…

Mesmer is bad till 60.
Playable at that level but strong only at 80.

There are few classes strong as a mesmer…it may not be the best (save portal) in any part of the game, but is really good in each.

Only bad thing is leveling a mesmer is boring as hell and is really bad for farming.

I have 350+ hours on my mesmer now, and absolutely love them. They have a very different playstyle which can take a while to get used to, and isn’t for everybody, but it pays off. If you’re having problems with dps, try the following:
1. Look for equipment with power, precision, and critical % above all else while leveling
2. Use a greatsword in your main hand. Make sure to pull out your phantasm, num 4 skill, and keep him out as much as possible. Keep at max distance to maximize damage.
3. Use a sword main hand and pistol (or focus when you get used to it) in offhand. Pull out the phantasm (#4 on pistol, #5 on focus) first, then use the number three skill twice with your sword to close distance and use number 2 skill for burst dps.
4. When you’re having problems surviving, use a staff and focus on keeping chaos armor up.
5. Make sure to stay on top of upgrading armor and weapons, either through the trading post or crafting, again with those three damage stats.

Mesmers have some awesome skills later on in the game. Time warp is amazing for dungeons and can make everybody in your party do skills twice as fast for ten seconds. We can use portal to move virtually entire armies in wvw, or to help people with jumping puzzles, or getting past a tricky part of a dungeon. Also, we kick butt in spvp

i have warrior Berserker lvl 80 and tanky ELE lvl 80, you and atilathegun make me to keep with my Mesmer, I believe I will find way to farm with it Thanks!

glad i help
1 tip. use f1,f2 when leveling from low lvl for learn to use it when u be a 80

Mesmer didn’t really come together for me until level 40 and deceptive evasion: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Deceptive_Evasion

For lower levels, I’d recommend greatsword and staff. They’re both ranged weapons and are very safe against strong enemies. By 30 I was soloing champs with that combo.
