Guild Wars 2

I have decided on making a mesmer after playing a warrior to 80 and not really liking it so my dilemma is I can’t decided on which race to go with if i make a female i wanna look hot once i get to 80 with some freaking sweet armor on lol, but if i go male i wanna be able to look freaking awesome with lv 80 armor lol.

Also any tips for a build for lvling up as in doing most dmg and which weapons r best for high dmg i know im going with a greatsword no matter what lol

Any tips would be helpful

Well personally I like the humans the best.. boring I know. The Norns have the best hair, but they are too muscley for me in the light armor. The sylvari are cool too and have a wing set for light armor. I really do not care for the asura and char animations myself though.

So imo go human.

Well you know there not many people who want to level up with a support based build ^^.

You could use Greatsword/Sword/Pistol since it’s pretty direct damage oriented. If you need more defense, pick your staff. Scepter/Torch/Focus are harder to manage for a beginner IMO.

You should know that leveling a mesmer isn’t as easy as with a Warrior (signet build is so OP for low levels). Until level 40 you could have some struggle. So be patient :-)

Have fun with your mesmer!

(and I suggest definitely female human ^^ – purple fit them well)

Aiight thnx guys and is there any good build as in shatter or phantasms or is it all the same?

Well. I suggest :
level 15 > 5 pts in Illusion
level 15- 40 >10 pts Domination 10 pts Dueling 10 pts Illusion
level 40 > 20 pts Dueling 10 pts Illusion
later : it’s up to you (shatter/phantasms/confusion/bomb clones).
Gear : power/precision (precision especially important with dueling traits)

Shatter build is more burst oriented while Phantasm build is continuous damage and tanky.

So by lv40 i should have 20 Dueling 20 illusion and 10 domination or 10 Domination 20 dueling and 10 illusion

That is the profane armor from the gem store minus the helm and shoulders. I was worried it would be too much skin for me lol but I actually really love it. It has lacey type detail on it too.

If you interested have a look in my guide. It contain 4 different builds. al based on Shattes as a core but uses it in different purposes. Also a phantasm Hybrid spec who do insane dmg. It atm only list 3 builds as i reworking it.

Its a text guide but also include several video guides.

Its a wvwvw guide but the speces al work in pve and dungeons.
