I think my Mesmer may have superpowers.

Yeah, i always had a feeling of beeing only somehow usefull. But dont know it myself, well. The more time flew away the more i got surprised!
The Mesmer is my main character and i have reached somewhat around 500-600 hours of playing her, but it feels like beeing at the beginning of understanding the mesmer.

Just an example: Once, we were in Arah exploremode and were fighting Giganticus Lupicus. My whole team died at once, because of the phase switch between phase 1 and 2. I managed it to stay alive the whole time that my team needed to get back in fight without letting the boss to reset and you need a lot of time getting back (around 4 minutes).

Its really nice to see what a mesmer can manage alone. And its always worth it to reset your traits and just do something different! Sometime it will be “just 4 fun”, sometime its annoying but more and more often it is just great

And dont believe a mesmer isnt usefull in PVE. Others just dont see what you are doing WHILE doing the things you were expected for. I needed a lot of time myself!

Must all mesmers really be glass cannons?

Than i would go for Knight armor.
For me, it is not important what others say about dmg or support based builds.
If iam not able to stay alive in dungeons i would improve my defensive stats.
The whole stay alive skills of a mesmer must be used with the right timing. This need some pratice, especially if the mesmer is not your main char.

If you have so much characters… than go for more defensiv stats. Later on you can focus on berserker yewlery for example, to balance the knight gear in the direction of a glass cannon.

Massive Targeting Issues

I had the same problems with stupid “selecting something else” behavior.
It all has to do with this RightMouseButton targeting problem.
The clue is, that you can not selecting targets, only… u can deselect them to!
I realized it, when i switch off all the targeting stuff in the options.

If i was turning the cam with RMB just a bit, so that the push on the button itself lasted only less than a second, than i was selecting a new target (new enemy or friendly target) or deselect my current on. If i was hitting a skill at this time, the skill was going on the new enemy target if possible. If there wasnt one (either i had marked a friendly target or i had no target at all), the engine looked out a target for me (cause of the checkbox in the options).

if you do it that fast… it looks like “randomly selection of targets”!

So… ArenaNet PLS PLS PLS give us the option to disable right mouse button target selection
