Guild Wars 2

I wanted to try a mesmer but really don’t know anything about them. I am just coming back to the game after about 4.5 months off. What is a good leveling build for the profession? I’m looking for something with decent damage and survivability.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys!

Hey there, I just started playing again. Stopped playing about a month or so after release but looking to get back into it now. I have an 80 warrior which is really fun, but I’d like to try out a ranged class. I have a 30 ranger right now but not sure how I should play it (did that before I stopped playing). It seems most classes can’t put out the same damage the warrior can, but I also haven’t tried as hard with most other classes (I know, warrior is easy to do a lot of damage with).

Can anyone recommend a build for me that is good for leveling? I would like to stay at range, but I’ve read the GS is good for groups of guys. At end game, I will mostly do dungeons and WvW with a few friends.
