Guild Wars 2

Hello fellow Mesmers, I’m currently grinding my way to 80 in WvW and I’m having a very difficult time tagging enemies in zerg battles. I often times just roam solo or with some other person to take dolyaks/guards because I feel like I’m just wasting my time in large scale fights.

I’ve tried staff and the #5 has kind of remedied this for me, but I was curious to see if any of you guys/gals are having any luck with some sort of aoe build. This is my first character and I’d love to reach 80. Help me out! :p

If tagging mobs is your main concern, I’d pop 20 points in to the first tier, and grab the trait that gives your enemies confusion upon entrance/exit of the fields that you put down. That way you can pop your chaos storm, feedback and null field, and whenever a bad guy walks into it or out of it, they get a few confusion ticks. Even with the -50% confusion nerf, this will still enable you to tag fairly easily.

Also, it’s always a good idea to party with some level 80’s for the damage-share. I’m afraid this is the only advice I have, as I much prefer small-group play.

The enter and exit trait is for glamour skills. The chaos storm isn’t a glamour. But he is still right in saying if you want to tag as many as possible than this trait is your best bet.

If your only concern is tagging mobs, err i ment players in WvW well your best bet its to folow a zerg and actualy farming like you can farm DE in PvE. Seriusly i use exctly the same skill rotation, iZerker, mirrorblade, dodge then shatter.

Using clones that apper just right to the enemy player its usually better since it wont have to run much or at all so it has more chances of actually shattering tagging everyone arround.

Also other way to do it its using stealths/invulnerabilitys to get close enough for a mirror images + dodge + shatter combo. After of course youll need to stealth and blink away ASAP. Trying to do this Prismatic Understanding trait helps a ton since stealths last 1 more sec and youll get aegis/protection or regen from it Blured frency can also help you survie while dealing some dmg.

Feedback its also nice to tos in the zerg, the number you see poping out are amazing and i still cant believe ppl still hit through it. I mean, if everything turns purple stop using proyectiles, its not that hard. Getting the trait that grants confusion on glamours only helps to make it even better.
