Guild Wars 2

I wanted to try a mesmer but really don’t know anything about them. I am just coming back to the game after about 4.5 months off. What is a good leveling build for the profession? I’m looking for something with decent damage and survivability.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys!

Just start playing, learn your abbilities, build in some defense, and then start reading up on builds and the use of skills..

But first you play a class till you get feeling with it, before worrying about anything else
