Guild Wars 2

I care, good to know this before i spend points on it. thanks.

right now i am trying mesmer class out, and in my opinion this is the toughest class to play so far. mesmer is in cloth and takes a ton of damage super fast, atleast at these lower lvls. i am only 14 but imo you can get an idea of what a class is like by then if you have tried all weapon combinations and played with each for a bit. i stopped playing my elemental because he took so much dmg so quickly and i dont enjoy that sort of playstyle. i thought mesmer would be different considering all of the illusions and phantasms that you summon. but what i am finding is that mesmer pets dont take aggro from the mesmer all that much, so i am getting hit hard, especially if I want to use the 1h sword which is a fun wep for mesmer to use.

One huge problem I have with mesmer is that the illusions and phantoms only last for 1 mob, and often times they will be on a cooldown so when you have more than 1 mob (which is very often) you will not be able to use those ‘pets’ again in that fight generally after they kill the 1st mob. I think this is mesmers biggest downfall. The illusions/phantasms should last for more than 1 mob. Make them continue fighting as long as the player is still in combat. That would make the class much more bareable imo.

I dont know if I am just a total noob or what, but compared to other classes, mesmers are weak at pve leveling. They just take too much damage and pets dont take aggro, or do too much dmg imo.

Disclaimer: I am only lvl 14, but have played every other class in the game atleast a bit.
