    I would like know if everyone prefers this style of guide, short, sweet and to the point, or would everyone prefer a more indepth, maybe 45 minute long video explaining each Profession?

      As a new player I prefer short guides that are direct to the point and help to avoid common beginner mistakes. Just enough to set me off on the right foot, then I can make my own decisions and start learning and experiencing from there.
      If I get more experience and wanna dig into mechanics more, longer guides.

    Instructions unclear. Cloned myself to in an attempt to avoid the black lion trading tax.
    My clone was cut to pieces by black lion tax collectors. Now I am presumed dead and can't access any of the major cities in fear of trial and execution.
    Please send help. And enough gold to buy a name change contract so I can change my name.

    Mesmers summon illusions which are both phantasms and clones. You can only explode/shatter clones. You cannot explode/shatter a phantasm.
    Phantasms are the illusions that do the one ability (they can be interrupted) and then transforms itself into a clone. (excluding the trait chronophantasma) There is no limit to how many phantasms you can summon.
    F3 is not a stun, it's a daze. Stuns stop you from moving and using skills while daze only stops you from using skills. You can still move and dodge while you are dazed.
    I know this is a bit more detailed and is probably out of the scope for a introductory video but I wanted to mention it nonetheless in-case any newcomers get confused!

      "F3 is not a stun, it's a daze. Stuns stop you from moving and using skills while daze only stops you from using skills. You can still move and dodge while you are dazed."
      You can. But in regard to enemies in PvE, daze and stun act the same.

    I run a bizarre build that has staff/gs because I do a lot of solo stuff and staff can be slow, but if I were going to do strikes, I'd go staff/staff. Better to give alacrity IMO.

      in raids they have a lot of different uses. tank/dps/supp. in Fractals, they sort of lack ae attacks, but are still capable and very good on single target bosses. Open world pve; also yes.

    • @anonymousbloke1
      @anonymousbloke1 Před 2 lety

      Mesmer is annoying to play in PvE. The build you'd probably be running is either dual staff alacrity mirage (that can solo a lot of things in this game, but it sure takes a fuckin while), or something far less efficient but not as boring. Mesmer DOES shine in PvP though, and WvW as well

    • @anonymousbloke1
      @anonymousbloke1 Před 2 lety

      Oh and I was referring to open world/frogs, I don't really do raids but for raids you'll probably be an even bigger alacrity slave but on Chrono instead of Mirage
