Dude this guide changed my life twice. 10/10 would read a 3rd time.

69/69 im gonna have to agree with you there m8

I’ve just fully read through this for the first time. I’ve been playing mesmer since betas and found some things I didn’t know:

• Illusionary Invigoration only procs if you’re below 50% health and then take any non-condition damage hit
• Phantasmal Mage bounce cleanses conditions untraited?!
• The stealth/blind/AA/stow weapon trick
• Never realized or paid attention to the fact that temporal curtain can give illusions swiftness
• Didn’t know about the 1100 range on scepter AA

Just a couple notes:

• I don’t believe Decoy will stealth you if you have revealed anymore.
• Should be evade frames (not invuln), unless it really is invuln?? “Use Blurred Frenzy to go through Portal and cancel early – the ability doesn’t go on cooldown and you still get a few really short invuln frames in order to break marks”

Also I found a few random grammar mistakes I’ll PM you separately. xD

AMAZING guide, thanks for sharing! +1+1+1+1

Thanks so much skcamow!! <3 I’ll make the changes

I have a tip.. not sure if it was said.

Start casting your heal/mass invis.. and use phase retreat mid cast.. or blink. to cover your animation and make it harder to interupt.

Good tip zaxon! It’s not specifically stated as a tip in the guide, but I do mention under the phantasmal warlock that you can phase while casting it, but I’ll add under the heal section and protips section too!

Alright everyone, version 2.20 is out! http://bit.ly/SupcutieGuide

Changelog is in the guide, but basically I updated the matchups section for new meta, updated build, added a few protips, fixed a few grammar errors, and added the Services section which talks about the paid services I now offer!

Let me know what you think!

This is a great guide for every level of Mesmer. One of the things that really helped improve my play, was watching the video on the blink/phase retreat locations. This alone was well worth my time and has repeatedly “saved my bacon”.

I love your analysis of why celestial is better than rabid in your updated shatter guide. Great idea to use Krait runes for those extra stacks. That paired with scepter confusion is so strong. Thank you for leading us into battle.

Wow, great to see this still being updated, legendary guide.

Haha Bob so silly.
Yeah Curunen Thanks for the support!

Pls dont be offended on what Im about to ask, But why do you charge now? I mean like I know you have the right to every decision, but why?

I’ve been helping people for free if they ask for a long time now. Kind of beta testing the curriculum. I’m basically just probing to see if people are willing to pay for my time. If I don’t get any takers then things will change! Not offended

I’m having trouble finding this part.

Haha alanis, he was trolling The guide is all about Shatter, which is basically the best sPvP/tPvP spec. Condi is not viable because you’re trading one damage type for another, except the condi application on mesmer is not reliable enough in team fights, and you shouldn’t be 1v1ing because you’re too susceptible to ganks relative to a d/d ele or war.

Also I just fixed my original post. It had some incorrect information in it.
I also added a video with some decent positioning on Legacy Vs. Abjured. So check that out! I’ll link it here too: http://bit.ly/vsabjured
