Guild Wars 2

Just curious as to which stats Mesmers generally benefit the most from?

In PvE I’d say go full glass cannon, power precision crit dmg%.
I’ve been level 80 fro a while now, and at first i was specced into condi damage, i tried all different kinds of builds, full confusion really tanky but it never worked out, i had no damage output and was pretty useless compared to my party mates. Sure you never died, but as a mesmer survivability was never difficult, since well.. you’re a mesmer.

I tried full glass cannon, and since a mesmer has a base hp of 16k it worked wonders, i now have very high damage and my clone on dodge trait makes it so that bosses never focus me and I only ever die from mistakes. In general leveling glass cannon has always been the way to go, but doing so in dungeons on mesmer really works well.

Try Sword/focus for aoe, sword/pistol for bosses and I prefer GS endgame, but staff is alright too.

I would recommend power to level with. Condition damage is not really as effective for Mesmers at low levels (basically requires level 45+ to make a more viable condition build with SI and bleeds, and becomes much more “whole” at level 50+).
