Guild Wars 2

I’ve recently started delving into GW2 again, and getting my completion and slowly running out of things to do, I am looking into pvp, for me, necro is an extremely confusing class, but im grasping things. The only actual thing I cannot grasp is, how the hell do you fight mesmers. Not having one, I do not know the mesmers skillset, therefore the logical awsner to be to play the mesmer, but I do not think I’d enjoy that, although the concept is fun.

But the question still stands, how does a necromancer tackle lets say a duel versus a mesmer.

Mesmers aren’t too troublesome to be honest, most because the only builds that can threaten you will have minimal to zero condition removal. And necro can easily corrupt the their boons, as they do rely on offensive boons and vigor to be effective to some degree.

Power necros probably just need to outburst the mesmer before it can burst you if zerker, or just tank the shatters with deathshroud if built to be bulkier. Necros don’t rely on boons so mesmers can’t strip anything vital from you. Right now, mesmers are a somewhat bad class overall, and in pvp they are only viable as glass cannon boonstrippers that melt easily to any sort of offensive pressure if they can’t get away.

And also learn to dodge their telltale burst attacks, such as the izerker (when the lift their GS… DODGE) and when clones run towards you looking like they’re gonna blow up on your face, also dodge, and if they send a sword clone on you, dodge that (or tap it on power and kill it), and they’ll have literally no way to touch you. And if you can’t dodge, as long as you have life force, you should be able to soak their bursts.
