Q:
How to kill mesmer?
A:
The answer: Use ranged, preferably Shortbow. The bouncing arrows hit 3 times, killing off clones and phantasms, while also damaging the Mesmer. Also, stand still. Clones and Phantasms stand still if you do, meaning the guy who appears from stealth, moving, is the Mesmer. After you learn to range Mesmer, and not think ‘light class! go melee!’ they become very easy. Oh and throw down poison all over. Nothing says, “That’s the Mesmer!” like poison damage ticking over his head.
The skill
Of running away.
I like acrobatics, and the endurance refill signet, sigil of energy, bountiful theft for vigor
Run.
You can’t kill the mesmer unless you instagib him. Instagib builds are not viable in tPvP.
So you actually can’t.
If the mesmer is hidden and just using his illusions and i know the whereabouts of his general location i just clusterbomb my feet a few times for 40k aoe direct dmg, not including the multiple stacks of bleeding. But again all this depends on both players skills etc….
Or that^.
Just because the Mesmer stealths, doesn’t mean he’s now 30ft away like when a Thief stealths. He’s still-right-there. So Cluster Bomb his feet all over. It also takes out the clones, sometimes in one shot.
I honestly vote dagger storm. It will hit clones and the Mesmer. Just something to try out.
Pour salt on him. Dries up into a little wrinkly sausage.
