Guild Wars 2

Alright. Let me just start by saying that I am a necro main so I am very used to being able to survive and CC most fights. With that said I have spent way too much time perfecting that class and have been searching for other places in the game to use other classes.

This brings me to WvW with the mesmer. I have played the class a lot and understand how it’s played but seem to be stuck with my Zerker gear. I really like the damage output of the gear but if I am committing to more mes than I want something with a bit more survivability. Right now what I am thinking is either Knights or soldiers with my old Zerker jewels.

These are the weapons and skill that I use and are unlikely to change.
Greatsword, Sword/focus
Feedback, blink, portal

Can you help me out ohhh wise mesmer community.

If you are happy with your build I would start by swapping out some of the Zerker gear for soldiers or knights, until you are happy with your survivability
I would do it in this order (assuming you don’t want to change your weapons)

1. Legs & Head
2. Chest
3. Sword / Focus

These will give you the most survivability in exchange for each point of crit damage you give up. See this link: http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/80673-min-maxing-with-critical-damage/
