I would like to join your team. Is me being on a different server a problem? im relatively new to GW2 PVP but am experienced with my Mesmer and other pvp modes.

Hello all, I am in search of a PVP team that is dedicated to the sport. I would like to mention that though i am only rank 10 ATM i have been playing mesmer for more than half a year exclusively. I am experienced with PVP modes of all kinds and am willing to change my build to anything that my team needs. Thank you for your consideration and please PM me if you would like to talk.

Thank you for being honest, I am pretty determined to find a team since I recently quit League so I guess ill just keep trying solo queue until i get noticed

I’m relatively new to GW2 PvP and i’ve been searching for a team but many of the posts here on the forum are looking for experienced players. Are there any teams out there that a looking to invite new to PvP players?

Im currently very sleepy and not in a too happy mood, so i wont be going very detailed, im also on mobile so my recorces are limited…

A shimmerless said, stay away from stairs! Illusionary leap wont work on those.
We can however make very good use of height differences. You can blink to make a quick escape, you can phase retreat up without using long cooldowns, you van jump down and leave a leap clone etc. Osicat has some good videos utilizing height differences. “Insane mesmer mobility” is the one thats shows best, i think.

General strategy
Stealth: stealth van be used for 2 reasons, target drop and repositioning. Targt drops are mostly offensive moves, you dont care about waiting untill the stealth is over, all that matters is your prey not seeing you before you strike! A target drop stealth can last as short as half a second and still be effective.
When reposiionijg, youll want to stay steahtled for as long as possible and find a better position. This can be used offensively and defensively. Its usually a good isea to run behind or to the sides of someone before leaving stealth.
Note: you can summon phantasms from stealth without leaving, and make the person waste dodges. When he used 2 dodges you can safely burst!

Ofcourse theres alot of other strategy, you will learn these in time, all by yourself! Ofcourse you can greatly speed up the learning process by asking for advise or watching videos.

Many people vomplain about how OP/UP a profession is because they got beaten in pvp for wxample. Truth is, theyre just missing out! While theyre complaining, they could be asking for advise to improve themselves, which you are doing right now.
I can do nothing but applaud and say something along the lines of: "*keep it up!*

edit: chaos storm is best used defensively, try to make sure you hit both the enemy and yourself, but the priority is yourself. Its also invaluable (i think this word means very valuable, correct me if im wrong) in group fights. Try to hit as many allies as possible, while also making an area where your enemies cant go, especially useull if people are low health! I should have a new video up where i use chaos storms in group fights quite well, but youtube is being a kitten right now, a very very bad kitten.

If you need any mesmer related help, dont be afraid to send me a ask/send me a pm/ whisper me in game.

Cheers,
Alissah

I’m sorry you are not in a great mood but thank you very much for the insight. I would never time my high dps abilities correctly and would end up wasting it because the enemy evaded. But now that you bring it up, baiting out the evades is a really good idea. As soon as I read it I hopped into WvW and it resulted in much better, much more strategic, gameplay. Thank you.

Another strong combo I like with MH Sword if I’m on the retreat is to iLeap, Swap and then hit Decoy to exploit the root and the confusion factor.

That’s a really good idea, I wouldn’t have thought of that. I think once you swap from sword into staff you can make sure that they get the maximum number of conditions on them by throwing down chaos storm. Because if they’re not rooted, they will just evade out of the storm as soon as it is thrown down. You can maybe get 1 or 2 more conditions on them before they can get out. But I will try out what you have said =)

I see many posts on this forum about builds. “How should I build?”, “Whats the best Build right now?” and now many posts about the changes that have been made in the new patch. Why not talk about the strategies that we have when it comes to playing our Mesmers? Im not talking about strategies like Scepter 3 —> Scepter 2 --> Swap crap; that can be found in every post. Let’s talk about positioning, environment use and sneaky tricks to help confuse that person behind the computer and frustrate them even more. That’s what makes the Mesmer fun right? I’m still considered new to the Mesmer and would like suggestions on how the more experienced players control their character when engaged in large mobs of people, or a few, in WvW and in PvE. What seems to be the best section of the WvW map that allows you, as a mesmer, to dominate in fights simply based on the topography of the landscape? How do you “mesmer”?

On my Male Charr Guardian, he has the habit of yelling one word (not yet distinguishable). I think he might be saying “Stong!” but other times it sounds like “Stung!” or “Skrum!”. No matter what he is actually saying… very annoying (especially since he yells it after a fight almost every time).

I have been looking for a small guild to join. Every guild that I have been in has been far too big and quite boring IMO. I would love to give this guild a try as it is small, seems friendly and eventful. Please send me an invite and I will gladly accept it.
