Guild Wars 2

So I’m leveling a new mesmer and I’m not having too much fun. Almost all the weapon abilities seem to be conditions, mostly confusion, which isn’t very good for pve/leveling. Also there doesn’t seem to be any good mobility skills so it’s taking me a long time to get places. any helpful tips?

Hi!
For Leveling I would recommend taking Staff and Sword/Focus or Greatsword. For mobility you can use focus to get swiftness and you can use staff 2 to move forwards or backwards. You do this by using about face phase retreat about phase. Phantasms do good damage too, such as focus 5, greatsword 4 or staff 3. Leveling as a mesmer is very hard as we are a trait dependent class and until you get your master tier traits it’s going to be a tough journey.

Yeah, generally your leveling set should be Greatsword + Sword/focus. Those provide the best mix of mobility, control, and aoe.

Focus provides swiftness for mobility and you can additionally take blink…but mesmer is not going to win any ground speed races, that’s just the unfortunately fact of it.
