I have basically tried all the classes now and I have found that mesmers put out a seriously low amount of damage, at least at the lower levels. I am hoping to hear that with trait points or something they get better, I played mesmer in GW1 and it was one of my favorites for sure. I am really drawn to their unique play style and the amount of skill they require but I noticed that when I spawn a clone they hit for 0 damage and the phantasms only attack like once. So someone please tell me they get better and do more damage or something because it takes forever to kill mobs and I really want to play one. Thanks
Yes they do get better, when i hit 80 and started getting some decent gear things took a huge turn for the better. I now kill mobs without them even reaching me.
The berserker phantasm does about 2k-3k dmg each illusion shatters for 2k ( this is in the level 80 zone) so its all good
