Hi all,

I had a level 80 mesmer a long time ago but deleted her as I never played the class enough. I concentrated on necro, ranger and warrior, but started getting bored with all of them as of late. Now with the new trait system I’ve recently leveled a new mes to 50 and I’m loving it. However, I’m trying to plan a build for 80 and I’m just not good at figuring out what my overall stats should be or in particular critical chance and critical damage. So I go to gw2skills.net and pick what I like, but I have no idea if my crit chance is high enough, etc. Can anyone help explain it? This is for PvE and eventually WvW roaming. I would like to finish up map completion and get to 80 and play around with all the weapons before I go to WvW, since I’m not a PvPer. Right now I’m using scepter/pistol and staff with a mix of skills. I like using shatter quite a lot as well.

TL;DR: What % of stats should I go for, in particular for crit chance and crit damage. Seems like 150% crit damage is base?

For pve only, if you like to shatter a lot.. this is a fun build i made a thread about recently which uses the weapons your currently using https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/mesmer/12k-confusion-Video-added/first#post5253408

The power builds in pve are usually phantasm upkeep builds.

WvW is along the lines of prismatic understanding
