Guild Wars 2

I read in these forums that leveling a mesmer becomes much easier at level 40. Why is that? What skills/traits/etc do we get at 40 that makes leveling easier/faster?

mainly deceptive evasion when you dodge you produce a clone its like the bread and butter of mesmer period its not a must have because some condition builds dont really take deep into dueling like that but its good in other builds its going to be your go to skill really so you can get out more clones to take damage for you and to shatter them

Master level traits. The most commonly taken trait by far is Deceptive Evasion in the Dueling line.

5 Points in Illusions and 20 Points in Dueling for Deceptive Evasion is the baseline for 90% of all Mesmer builds.
