Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, thief main here, and I don’t often visit the Mesmer forums. So hello!

I made a Mesmer alt a while ago because they’ve always seemed awesome, and it was my second choice to thief when I was making my first character. Well, I made it just to play around in spvp and dear lord I’m bad at it.

So here’s what I’m looking for from you nice people (pretty please):

A fun build! I don’t need it to be viable in tpvp, as I’ll just be playing around in spvp to see if I want to make my Mesmer a real 80.

Some reference videos to show me how to not be bad. Because I’m bad.

Honestly, I’d like to try out this pu Mesmer everyone is always complaining about, but a full glkittenter build sounds fun too.

Thanks everyone!

There is great video’s on youtube labelled mesmer guide. Someone took the time to run through each weapon, what it can do, what combo fields it can create. The only problem is that the video’s are older, so some skills have changed slightly. However they do give you the basics.

The next good idea is to learn your key binds. mesmer is greatly assisted with hotkeys rather than a clicker style.

A lot of mesmer gameplay video’s are still viable today. Mesmer damage as a whole has been reduced, but essentially they still play out the same. This kinda showcases mesmer needed something new, which they haven’t really received..but let’s not split hairs.

Take each build archetype and stick to it until you can reasonably beat most people, or fair very well and only loose by small amounts. Play shatter, mantra’s and PU in turn. After you understand the more well known builds, you can start inventing your own.

These both helped me a ton, as im also a thief main and made a mesmer alt very recently.
