Hi, (Asuran) Mesmer Fanatic here. It appears that Mesmers have the short end of the stick because it’s a very precise combination of things to make it easy and interesting.
My go-to weapon combo is Scepter and Pistol. Scepter will constantly spam clones to distract non-Legendaries at a consistent rate. Whenever the foe brings out a big CC, just hit block (Skill 2) and another clone appears. The pistol creates a burst of energy phantasmal and a CC bullet. Either go Signet for Condition damage or Wells for a little more DPS and boom! An all around mesmer.
I admit, it is tough to be a mesmer sometimes. We aren’t the best at DPS nor healing, but I was able to survive very well while soloing everything in Tyria, (except Metas). It just takes a little more movement (circling) or a few more button mashes. It’s not that Mesmers have the short end of the stick, we just sample everything, thus a utilitarian.
