exp build mesmer
I’m lvl 39 and loving my mesmer. I have a lvl 80 ranger (yawn) and lvl 80 ele (freakin’ awesome). I use a staff and sword-torch and have no problem with just about any group PvE and any solo up to about 5 or 6 levels above mine, including veterans. Stack conditions, use your F2 shatter as often as you can and keep as many phantasms/clones out as possible during the whole fight. Like my ele, I find I rarely use my auto-attack skills.
Remember, misdirection

what about something like that ?
for lvling
what food ? prec + crit heal?
or maybe better go condi dmg when lvling ?
There are a few leveling guides floating around on the forums. I suggest you do a search, but here is a quick rundown since I am here.
Weapons: Staff/GS offers the best solo AOE for killing fast until you get good with sword/focus. If you can master them, you can move faster and kill faster than any other weapon set in PVE.
Gear: Doesn’t really matter except I recommend power over condition damage while leveling, especially if you plan to solo. The only reason is because it greatly speeds up your damage against constructs, which are immune to conditions, and they pop up in PVE more than anywhere else. If you are rolling with a guild/party, then go with your preferred playstyle. Power also works much better with sword/focus until you get Sharper images; then it is only a somewhat better depending on build.
Skill/Traits: Grab Decoy and Illusionist’s Celerity ASAP. Get good with Blink too. When you get to level 40, grab Deceptive Evasion. After that, faceroll everything.
EDIT: The build you linked is a beta version. It won’t work as well now. Sword or staff are better than scepter for leveling, too, though scepter does have niche use in PVP.
