Survivability in PvP
Contrary to what many people seem to say, surviving as a mesmer is not easy. The key is really mobility. Stealth does not protect you much on its own, it just ensures that you can go without enemies able to follow you because they don’t know where you are.
If you are not very experience with PvP, I would recommend starting a more forgiving build like condi mesmer. You use the same utilities essentially, and replace sword by scepter and greatsword by staff. Use “illusions” instead of “domination”, chaotic Chaotic Dampening or Chaotic Transference, rabid instead of marauder/berserker, rune of undead, and you’re all set.
This build is more tanky and also, thanks to staff 2 has even more mobility. Learn to properly use your phase retreat to go around the map (many videos on youtube). This build is similar enough to the usual power build for you to get familiar with mesmerizing in PvP. Once confortable you can switch back to zerker.
Hi, I can give you some tips and tricks plus show you a couple things in game. Just message me whenever you see me on. Cheers =)
Yeah, it is not easy to survive on most of zerker class.
First of all, make sure you use marauder amulet instead of berserker. That should already help you a great deal.
Then, you will have to learn many details of the map, the profession you fight against. Essentially starting improve your gameplay. I highly suggest you watch helseth stream(http://www.twitch.tv/thelordhelseth), one of the best mesmers in the game and streaming frequently. He also explains what he is doing quite often.
