This feedback also interests me. I originally chose Mesmer due to its rather unique play-style (for PvP/WvW) as compared to what I’m used to. But I’m currently Lvl18 and I’m finding the process of leveling through PvE quite monotonous and unexciting. The class just doesn’t seem to be very interesting to play against AI. I really just want to play WvW.
I was a little disappointed that there was no way to level through sPvP. A lot of fun in that regard.
Out of all the weapons, Staff is certainly my favourite, but it is quite slow, even with me stacking Condition Damage. Never considered heading towards Toughness. Something to try out I suppose.
Motivation is usually enough.
If you have an idiot, and you motive him, however, you’ll just have a motivated idiot.
