Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,
I don’t main a Mesmer but a friend of mine is starting to play one and is almost level 80.
He is interested in WvW, like me, but as I don’t play Mesmer I’m having trouble suggesting him a good roaming build, specially a noob-friendly one.

I have already checked the forums and Osicats builds. I’m sure all those builds are effective but, as I said, I have trouble choosing a noob-friendly one.

Thanks a lot guys

Maybe Scepter/Torch – Staff, 20/20/30/0/0, PU, conditions. Dire/Rabid mix gear.
Heavy on defense and boons, makes mistakes less punishing and lets him get in/out of fights easier.
Reasonably simple to play. Just spam conditions, block big hits with scepter and stay hidden as much as possible.

It won’t net as many kills and has very little chase/kill potential, but he will have a better chance to learn how to use his class effectively because he won’t die as much.

A PU condition build is probably the easiest for roaming and getting to know the very basic mechanics.
After a while I would recommend watching some videos of Vashury for example, shatter is much more fun in WvW (and the most fun of any mesmer style imo).
