Hey, Pro advice here: if you're smart make a mesmer. If not, like 99.99% (just a guess based on personal encounters over the years) of Guild Wars players then make a joke class like a dervish or ele where you just have to press your skills on recharge lolmycatcandothat.

Anyone who slated mesmers, you fail. Your ignorance is beyond my comprehension. My guess is you tried and failed to play a mesmer because you wern't smart enough.

Yes, make a sin so you can get gold and items. No room or time for creativity that leads to lackluster results.

lmao! You're a perfect example and it says your profession is Me/ under your avatar haha. You should change that, you've tried and failed at mesmer ;(

Mesmer fans, high five! Mesmer is and always will be the greatest class in gw.

Umm, you guys saying Mesmers are good professions because someone said they deal no damage... you do realize this is in a thread where the OP is asking us to help him pick a profession without giving any information as to what he likes... I believe a Mesmer would not be a good idea because of that, just some food for thoughts why promoting Mesmers is not always a good idea.

In PvE? These skills have a place in PvE?

Arcane Larceny
Arcane Thievery
Blackout
Chaos Storm
Complicate
Diversion
Enchanter's Conundrum
Ignorance
Mirror of Disenchantment
Panic
Power Flux
Power Leak
Price of Pride
Psychic Distraction
Signet of Distraction
Signet of Disruption
Signet of Weariness
Arcane Languor
Psychic Instability
Symbolic Celerity
Symbolic Posture
Ancestor's Visage
Conjure Nightmare
Conjure Phantasm
Ethereal Burden
Images of Remorse
Imagined Burden
Kitah's Burden
Recurring Insecurity
Sum of All Fears
Sympathetic Visage
Ether Lord
Feedback
Power Leech
Spirit Shackles
Signet of Recall
Signet of Humility

Feel free to add any interrupt you wish or slow down skill. Normal mode you should run them over and hard mode interruption isn't good. Web of Disruption, Cry of Frustration, etc.

Crippling Anguish with YMLaD (non-mesmer skill) works wonders in Norn solo quests and the mission where you stop the crystal runner. So I didn't add that one...

I'll agree with you but the same can be said for skills across all classes. Maybe moreso for mesmers but why are we focusing on PvE? The OP never mentioned they wanted a character solely for PvE, only that they wanted obby armor so to say mesmer was a bad profession choice is ignorant. Even so, Mesmers make some aspects of PvE e.g. titles (which includes missions vanquishing and so on) a joke because they are so diverse. Sure they aren't great at farming nor are paragons and we all know sins are farming gods.

Each class has it's strengths in different formats of play but overall as a profession the Mesmer class is anything but bad. I can't fathom how anyone could say otherwise. It's easily the most interesting and diverse class, i could go on. Mesmers are only as powerful as the people controlling them and the sky's the limit!

Also, here's a link to all the different sets of FoW armor for each profession and worn by each gender. Enjoy.

If he/she is making a mesmer, then it'll mainly be used in PvP. I have yet to see a good build be used in PvE (no matter the guild, friend, or pug). There is the classic Urgoz Cryway builds, but that requires other players to have CoP.

OP didn't mention warrior? Warriors are a damage class that can be further buffed by necromancers. Warriors can do well in both sides of the game.

in practice, I want 1 pg main mene not repent of spending time and money ... I have the following pg: lv 20 PvE ranger, assassin, Elementalist, Necromancer, Monk, war, mesmer lv 15 pre searing, I would not want him to choose 1 main character in the future intrigues with the penta obsidian made. I want a character that is strong both in PvP in PvE (I do not like the assassin, and later in the year-end nerf shadow form) and I do not like Monk, Ritu, the necro I use it only for me (DOA )

Shadowhaze · Oct 16, 2009, 04:57 PM // 16:57

As others have said, make what you want.

Try them out a bit until you find one that you like.

If you're going just for the pricest armor, I'd go ranger...only one that looks decent imo. And aside from that, rangers can be fun to play.

jonnieboi05 · Oct 16, 2009, 08:19 PM // 20:19

Eww... Ranger FoW. I think I just gagged a little. xD

Just try them out and see what you like. That's all you can do. You can also read about the professions here.
