I remember leaving GW2 since I kept dying in PvE all the time on my mesmer. Now I’ve decided to try again but it seems to be the same all over again. I watched around 10 videos on Youtube, roamed the forums and I keep getting more and more confused because there is so much to choose from regarding builds and no one seems to make me “flow” in gameplay.
Right now I am lvl 62 and I cannot for my life finish the living story quest “Sound of Psi-Lance”, I’m down-graded to 51 so I should have no trouble. I’ve tried several sword/focus + Great Sword builds but I just keep dying and the enemy health is just now going down. Drives me mad! The only time I can stay alive is by smashing out illusions with Mirror Images/Decoy that I shatter, together with Staff and Great Sword, while having the trait that makes you make an illusion when you dodge. Still only good enough for 2 mobs, 3-4 mobs makes it all troublesome.
Regarding gear I have never really bought any just used quest rewards and I have 11 gold to play with regarding upgrades which I’m good to spend with help. I’m sorry to be a whiny brat but grwah I just want to have fun and not die all the time :/
So what am I looking for? Help to understand a basic PvE build, in game if possible (probably best since I seem to be doing things awfully wrong).
