Guild Wars 2

hello all. I now looking to put a mesmer together. As before I never really gave the profession much time. So my plan is to make a kitten mesmer. I have watched a view videos on YouTube. Got a idea but want your advice on it.

I like these
Power
Toughness
Vitality.

I would like to know what is the best way to make a hard hitting mesmer that will stand up against mobs.

This is for PVE as at the minute its all I play.

Any advice and guidance would be amazing.

imo for pve u better go bers armor/wep and u can use pvt trinkets.
in pve 50 crit and 50 power better than 0 crit and 100 power

Well in Pve you can go ful glass cannon and still survive.

Some ppl will recomend to be more defensive on stats at first and start getting more dmg and less armor/vit as you play more and feel confortable with the class. I think i didnt wear a single piece of armor with thoughtness or vit in pve ever and learnt the hard way as i lvled: died a lot. But with time you learn to just avoid dmg.

Weird thing, now that i learn how to survive most things in pve as glass cannon im consifereing a tanky armor just for those bad pug party dungeons that wipes a lot to see if i can finish stuff alone.

For PvE, you want to throw in some crit in there – try using chest/legs as knights, as well as the amulet and perhaps a ring or two. The rest can be soldiers.

You could of course also go full knights with berserker jewels if you dont need the HP.

But personally, I have ~23K HP and I cant even count the times it has saved me.

Problem is of course other players, such as the stupid berserker Mesmer that stands next to you and never ever take aggro due to zero toughness, so you have to tank every kitten mob in the dungeon. Its usually the same person that go “ZOMG why did you die, I’m glass cannon and I didnt even take damage!!!” :p
