Guild Wars 2 - Mesmer

The last profession of Guild Wars 2 has finally been announced! And on the same day alot of question have been answered in multiple interviews about this mysterious mesmerizing illusionary profession.

As a mesmer your main goal is to confuse your enemies with portals, area veils and lots and lots of copies of yourself.
The intrinsic ability of the mesmer is based alot on these illusions which are basically copies of yourself, that do the things you're perhaps familiar with if you played your Guild Wars 1 mesmer. (Good old) Backfire for instance is an illusion that creates a copy of yourself that damages the opponent whenever this opponent uses a skill. You can have 3 illusions up at one time.

To go a bit further into these illusions, they are of two different groups. Phantasms and clones. Phantasms are your basic hex-like skills, like Backfire, and have their own effects. They are translucent purple versions of you and have some decent health and decent damage. Clones are basically just that, clones. They do little damage and have little health, but they do exactly look like you. The unique mesmer mechanic is based on these illusions, they're called Shatters. They shatter any illusion you have up at that time for bonus effects. These are your F1 to F4 skills.

And that's just the basics! To fully read up on the mesmer go to the mesmer page at http://bit.ly/t4XIVY. Do not forget to go to the main Guild Wars 2 page as well, for a special surprise at http://bit.ly/uCzwTf (it takes a while to load).

@MrYlijumala Why limit urself since GW2 has no sub fee. It's what I did with WoW and GW1 and it worked fine.

[MrAnneVailable]

From the moment on I saw the shattering effect, I've been in love with it INSTANTLY. It's like... perfect!!

I hate casters with a passion but man GW2 makes them look so bad ass!
