Guild Wars GoldGW Gold Guides and News

The Mesmer is definitely the hardest profession in Guild Wars. They are neither party-based or soloists. They work in the background; the driving force that turns the tide of a battle. This profession IS NOT RECOMMENDED for a beginner. If you want a spell caster, stick with an elementalist or necromancer. You'll thank me later.

In simple terms, the Mesmer can't be the one to attack first. They must wait for the right situation to strike. You also will have a set of skills against certain classes. For example:

Against Melee enemies:
-Empathy - When an enemy attacks, he takes damage
-Clumsiness - Attacks are interrupted and target takes damage
-Ineptitude - If your enemy attacks, the target becomes blind and takes damage

Against Spell Casters:
-Chaos Storm - Causes damage and drains energy from the target
-Backfire - Spells casted land on the caster
-Energy Surge - Target loses energy and damages all nearby enemies

In PvP, the Mesmer has very valuable and essential skills such as:
-Panic - Hexes in an AoE effect. Causes damage and energy loss
-Ethereal Burden - Your typical root spell. Slows down your enemies and lets you get away

As you can see, the Mesmer can be considered a "jack of all trades" They can do a lot of everything, but can only do them under certain conditions. I can't stress it enough how much a mesmer should be considered an expert class. Those who consider themselves so, apply within =)
