Guild Wars 2

I’ve got a ranger and mesmer, both female Norns. The ranger is rather tall but the mesmer is the shortest possible. I like them both. A lot. When out patrolling the snowy crags and passes, the ranger just seems so . . . Norn. It’s the perfect profession for a Norn.

On the other hand it works for the mesmer, as well. The appealing combination of grace and power makes the mesmer work as a Norn for me. I think of her more as a skald than a mesmer.

I just started a mesmer a few days ago, after being reluctant to start one because people said they were too difficult to play. I just got her to 30 and I am having more fun with this mesmer than the guardian and ranger I’ve dinked around with.

I haven’t done any PVP or WvW with her, just standard leveling PVE. I use a staff and sword/focus right now. It works just fine. I don’t feel under powered although it took some time to figure out when and how to use certain things to good effect.

I have a lot yet to learn about mesmer, but it’s a really interesting class. I’m beginning to get the idea that his class can really, really good at later levels if the player takes the time to learn all the nuances. I’m having a lot of fun with her and will probably take her to 80. Mesmer is definitely keeping my interest up. Never a dull moment.
