You say that like WoW was the first one to use that system. No, they copied it too from DAoC. Actually just about everything in WoW came from another game. They just took a whole bunch of stuff from other games and didn’t really try anything creative or original(at release that is)

New Mesmer, a bit overwhelmed - would like advice!

I still haven’t even bothered with feedback yet. As an asura I got Radiation Field that I use as a combo field. Plus I use the block/counters on scepter/sword for any major projectiles(love those skills in pvp)

As for stats, ive been going power, perception, condition, since i run staff as well for all the condition damage

One weapon grouping you didn’t mention that I find very useful in WvW is Scepter/Sword. I use my staff mostly but when I got players getting on me, i can switch to scepter/sword and since both weapons have a block/counter skill, i can chain those to live through any initial onslaught while creating more clone bombs. I know you said you didn’t use them much, but once you get the hang of hitting them just as they swing at you, you don’t waste as much time from attack cycle and double block counter can turn a close fight fast. Also the sword offhand has the strongest attacking illusion we got(and maybe only that finishes combos, not sure on that).

Also Asura have an aoe skill with poison and weakness, which helps a condition build quite well
