Guild Wars 2

These are switched:

Light Pink :: White
Light Yellow :: Pink

The cursor and tooltips don’t show up in screenshots so I cannot include one. Perhaps one of my files is corrupted. The problem only began recently.

Asura might not canonically have surnames, but good luck in finding a short monosyllable name that’s not already taken. Adding a creative surname to the end can even get Blipp through the name filter.

The seam is apparent in game also. There used to be a second seam between the legs and torso parts of the model (Like MMOJumper mentioned for the human female model) but that’s disappeared since I switched clothing. I haven’t seen the one for human males, but I never went with a very short haired model for them.

You’d think that it would be one of the things they’d make sure to clean up for the game, since it applies to player characters, not some rare item in the game.

My Asura character has a ‘seam’ where his neck attaches to his body, basically a line like a necklace where you can see straight thru the character to the background. I wonder if if it’s a known issue, it seems like something that would be noticed right away.

I outlined it in yellow. It can be seen when looking at the image in full size.

I like Mesmer as a class but am having a lot of trouble leveling. I imagine the class would be fun in larger groups or PvP where having a lot of clones running around and having group buffs and combos make a difference.

But, I’m really just solo leveling and the monster AI doesn’t seem to care as much about these things. Right now I have been using Staff and Sword/Pistol. Staff seems good for defense, sword and pistol seem good for offense. I can kill single targets with little problem but when are you ever fighting a single target? As soon as the 1st target dies, don’t all the clones and phantasms disappear? Or am I getting it wrong, it tends to get chaotic.

As far as traits, I’m clueless, mine were all over the place and I just reset them. Right now it just comes down to blowing as many phantasms and illusions and hoping Blurred Frenzy goes off correctly and hits.

Anyway, are there any up to date guides out there that can help? GW2 is a bit difficult with many viable builds instead of class roles, but most of the things I see are from beta “Oh hey look there’s a class called Mesmer and it uses illusions of itself to damage foes” and such. Or they are from very early on in the game, and I get the impression the recent patches have changed things? I was not here to see the previous stuff.

Anyway, the tldr version is…. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong trying to solo level PvE. Is there a good versus bad way to do things? Other classes I’ve tried seem to have less trouble…. Mesmer is still the most fun, when I know what’s going on.

There’s another topic in the forum that comes close to this about ‘are Asura a completely evil race’. The Asura problem is that they’re all about chaos, so I doubt they’d get far with invasion plans. After conquering the first area they’d be too busy fighting over which Krewe gets to resources for their lab and then they’d get side swiped by some other army. They really only seem to care about defending their invention ideas and their labs…
