Guild Wars 2

As a player in a structured PvP match, do you find it more valuable to have a support mesmer or a dps mesmer on your team. The support mesmer would focus on interrupting and stacking conditions on enemies while loading team mates up with boons. The dpa mesmer would likely use a greatsword, or possible a sword and work on focusing down a single enemy before moving on to another.

Personally I like playing a damage built mesmer with support utilities so I can cover both roles effectively. I take Illusion of Life so I can save downed team mates, Time Warp to change the tides of the battle in our favor by increasing the damage of all me allies, Null Field to remove conditions in an AOE and take boons off enemies, and Portal to be able to instantly show up to assist someone in need. Just because you don’t have the “support traits” or weapons does not mean you cannot help your team.
