Guild Wars 2

I cant use shield yet because i havent gotten the exp so what instead of sword? and what about scepter?

and if im going sw/? and not shield should i go sw/pistol for bleeding? or sw/torch for burning and stealth?

im trying to find a good build for PVE mesmer. ive been looking on the forums and people say Power is best to go with but ive also seen a few posts that say Condi is better for the longer run and for soloing.

just could use some pointers to get back into mesmer and playing the game.

im not a big competitor, so if its not the best build in the world thats fine with me. as long as im not dying and i can dps decently. i enjoy using Staff/GS for my weapons (always the most fun to play for me) so what build would be best to build around those? I know staff is Condi and i think GS is more power so possible hybrid build? i really just wanna have fun but still be able to help out in dungeons, world events, bosses etc

any help would be appreciated!

unless there is one already! id love to be apart of an all Necro guild

rep together exchange tips, advice, etc etc

if there is one my ign is Lord Louric! im on Northern Shiverpeaks

the only reason i use dagger is because of the speed increase i get from traits which helps a lot especially with running around to points and different areas

this is what my idea on my MM build would be. Mostly pve with a random pvp or wvw here and there.

just looking for suggestions and opinions.

also idk which armor or runes to go with because im noob with necro so still dont know whether to run with power or condi

any help would be great

thank you for this! really appreciate the build!

this is exactly what i was looking for! ill tweak it here and there for my personal touches but thanks!

so if i wanna run dungeons which weapon should i run with?

And from reading everything on PVE build it looks like it’s better to go for direct power? So I can take GS and staff for a power build?

I’m very broke in game with no high levels to grind money with and I don’t have any friends to help lvl me or anything so I’m basically playing the game solo from 1-80 and gearing and stuff is all what I am capable of so I’m just trying to be picky with what I spend time doing (gearing, build weapons, crafting etc)

So if I go with conditions what should I replace the GS with? I wanna like the scepter a lot but I feel like the scepters aa will replace my illusions/clones too quickly for my illusions to put out any decent damage

I was thinking of taking illusions also to help compensate for the GS lack of conditions what do you guys think?

like the title says, im looking for a good staff/gs build with the new patch out

ive been using staff/gs in pve since release but only in low lvls, as im starting to lvl higher and unlock traits and skills was wondering if anyone had a decent build revolving around the staff/gs

i like to shatter and aoe a lot and usually just do pve, dungs and maybe very rarely wvw

i was going for power and condi on my equipment but not sure thats the best way to go. im assuming we only go for one or the other, even tho i like that to be some umph behind both my shatter-burts and my sustained condis from staff and such

i like to solo a lot and im usually doing events by myself or with maybe 1-2 other people so i tend to be more ranged to stay out of most damage zones

any help would be appreciated! thanks!

awesome! it looks good! ill give it a try! thanks man for the reply

Ive been looking online and cant seem to find anyone thats come up with a MM build for the new HoT patch! If anyone has a link to one thatd be awesome! or suggestions on some ideas!

new to necros! always been a mesmer but giving a new class a try

hey! I’d Love to join this guild! ive been playing mesmer on and off since game release but been taking breaks from the game on and off since release also so im still learning everything about bein a good mesmer! would love to chat and hang out with fellow Messies

IGN: Louric Psyleaf
Mostly into PVE, Dungs, and some WvWvW
Server: Northern Shiverpeaks
Havent picked a role yet just came back to the game and started a new mesmer
I can be on any time of the day/night just depends on my work schedule

Im so bored of just being solo all the time i want an active and fun guild that actually talks and does ingame events! pvp, wvw, pve, dungeons, etc etc! i want it all!!!

im currently on the Northern Shiverpeaks server

this guild sounds like alot of fun i enjoy making friends in game alot more then just questing and playing! its alot more fun to play this game with people you get along with

or would mace/shield and staff be better? i really cant find anything that decisive!
wahhh lol

I cant seem to find any decents builds, Ive searched the web and none seem to really have a good hybrid feel to them

What I am looking for:
GS and Mace/Shield weapon set
Being able to heal decently and give out boons
But deal a good amount of damage when I need to

Ive played around with traits and it seems that Valor and Honor are good for the support and survivability part but anyone have any pointers on how many points in each and what other traits i should grab?

i also use a combo of signets and shouts with Cone of Healing for my heals

Any links or suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks for all the quick responses everyone much appreciated!!!

I havent had much time to switch skills and see which ones i like, ive just been using the signets because of the passives they give you, but like i said i havent given much thought to which skills would be the best. I think im gonna stick with GS for my main weapon and kinda switch with scepter/torch and scepter/shield.

The only problem ive run into so far is that neither weapon sets have any sort of heal as the staff or the mace does and its given me some trouble dealing with multiple foes, cause i use my cone for healing and once thats been used im basically heal-less which makes it hard to pve solo (in my opinion)

Hi guys, I’m leveling a guardian right now and had a question with weapon combos.
(I’ve mostly ever played Ele so keep in mind im kinda lost on playing guardian)

Looking thru forums, it seems the most viable ranged weapon combo is Scepter/torch, but I was trying it out and I seem to like Scepter/shield a bit more, is there a reason people don’t do scepter/sheild cause I have honestly not come across anyone else who seems to use it. as my 2nd I use GS and am loving that dps is amazing!

Also I had a question on which traits to go for, I wanna be a dps guard with good survivability so Im confused on which traits and skills to get that would go along with that
