I've been using Greatsword and Staff for most of my time as a Mesmer. I haven't really tried out one-handers for a long period of time but Sword/Gun seemed to be pretty decent.
sword/torch
I'm starting to greatly improve my skills as a melee mesmer. I am going sword/sword and staff. Sometimes I replace the staff with GS, but the drawback to GS is you have stay ranged to get the best out of it, while I can play mid-range with staff at no loss.
I can stay at melee range sword/sword for long periods of time without taking much damage. The key is the distortion on Blurred Frenzy and the Block on OH Sword. It gives me two ohshiiii moves, and I also dodge backwards when I'm out of those moves, summon iSwordsman, then go back in. The low CD on Blurred Frenzy means you can hop into it at a frequent state. The other bit is that iLeap is very useful for jumping into your foe and directly following with Blurred Frenzy. The leap and swap will sometimes drop aggro off you to your clone, giving you more time to stay in melee.
Have you looked at the Naga Hex

Too bad I was a frame away from capturing the barrel exploding for the fireworks

.What builds are engineers going? I'm 43 on my Asura engineer going dual pistols and loving it. Stacking bleeds and crit, with burn on crit and using the grenade pack. Feeling pretty squishy at the moment compared to the guardian I'm levelling with, and actually surprised that he seems to be doing more damage and has just as much if not more mobility than me. Plus all the additional effects he has stacked on himself. Kind of feel they're a little too powerful. Maybe it's just that he's direct damage and I'm going conditions and effectively AoE. And I've heard that ranged does less damage than melee in this.
Does anyone know of any deals or sales going on with this game anywhere? I've already browsed CAG with no success, but I thought I'd check it out with you folks in this thread =/ really wanna buy this game because all my friends are playing, but I gotta save where ever I can.
Damn, the lag is nuts today. I could barely function in some of the gigantic DEs. Think ill go to a lowbie zone and take it easy exploring it. dont want to be lagging this bad in the next zone
Those gigantic DEs were amazing though. Hirathi highlands is definitely where those start to feel EPIC
Im finding speccing into Vitality and toughness is the way to go. I feel much more powerful now than i did focusing on power, mainly because i dont die in 3 hits.
I rock dual pistols with grenades, flamethrower and elixir B. And like I said, am specced 20 into alch, 10 into precision, and am working on Vit at the moment (43 also).
If you still see the represent button after clicking it, you got a bug. i hear trying it a different zone or not the overflow or something works sometimes

Yea, instead of you paying market price as a buyer, you can request items at a custom price that a seller can meet.
Essentially yes, you put in a buy order and then it gets supplied as people would like to sell it to you for whatever amount you request.

Okay, I have to read up, but wtf? I had my first cultural at 36, what are you guys doing? o.o
Yeah, I call BS on those screenshots using the in-game AA option. There is zero change in the text using the in-game FXAA option. That text blur usually only happens using forced driver FXAA.
I'm 20 into firearms(precision) and 10 into explosives(power) and now trying to decide between alch and tools, considering alch for the elixir duration, same skills I use though. I want to get 30 into firearms and explosives for the increased range on nades and piercing pistol bullets(hopefully they still explode on each hit). And then 10 in either alch or tools. I'm mostly trying to spec for WvW, though it appears to work well for groups in DEs as well.
I switch weapons as a Mesmer in combat all the time, especially when I'm on my own in both PvE and PvP.
I usually start with Staff, then switch to Sword / Pistol long enough to skill 2, 4, and 5 before switching back.

Any comments on what starting area is the most attractive in terms of lore and art design?

Is anyone here having the same problem? Can't decide on a single character, always want to switch classes.

Give me a quick paragraph on your experiences as a warrior, gurdian and ranger. Help me decide!
Edit: Although it looks like you're having the same trouble yourself.

Warrior I've had the most fun with (but I'm not sure if I like the story choices I've picked). Guardian is powerful too, but has less weapons and the Staff seems hard to use right. However, using the Torch is pure joy.Give me a quick paragraph on your experiences as a warrior, gurdian and ranger. Help me decide!

If you're going to play Ranger, use the Shortbow. It feels like a machine gun, but prepare to move a lot. I didn't even pay attention to my mets, I just let them run around and do their thing.

This is why I still love Final Fantasy XI...seriously, why haven't more MMOs adapted the job/class changing system?

Sylvari is the best start area imo. Can't go wrong with any though...but human is obviously the most generic.
Finally got around to getting a shot of my girl. I've got a Thief and an Engineer I've been trying out as well, but I'll probably post them later since I can't figure out how to resize the images when I post. : /
Yeah, definitely. Even little stuff like name choice, voice acting, story changes will make me go back and reroll. I'm not quite as bad as you, though;D
Milele, Norn Mesmer.

If you like Avatar, sure. Norn if you like Skyrim. I, for one, really like the Charr and Human areas.
Sylvari starting area is the ultimate. If I had known this from the start I would have no doubt picked that race over the human race. In fact the "human" story beats are kind of boring me.
What's it called when looking for the Asura gate to it?
Could try the Logitech G500
Just got a bunch of new gamepad adopters in the overflow guild. I'm beaming with pride
Wait, does this game have gamepad support? If so, how is it? Yet another reason I played FFXI all those years, was because I prefer playing games with a controller...

nope. Just been playing my Guardian. I'm up to 56.
So i'm completely new to the trading post and every time i log on, it seems to be under maintenance.
What kind of items sell for a nice price there? (Nice price would be a few silvers)
I feel like i'm selling some valuable stuff to vendors right now and I don't want to facepalm my forehead into oblivion when I look at trading post and find out I could be a millionaire.

It's funny you ask that, because the trading post will TELL you what in your inventory sells for what. People can submit orders for specific items, and when you go to your inventory in the trading post, it will tell you what in your inventory has an order up. You can then click on it, fulfill that order, and you get instant money!
(also, you can just list things if you'd like).
In general, you should not be selling anything but junk to vendors, and break down everything else. Then you put those mats in your collection if the TP is down, and sell them on the trading post when it's up.
Fastest way to level outside of crafting is to do lots of events.
