The mesmer is one of the hardest classes to master in Guild Wars 2, but it's also one of the most powerfull professions in the game, so trust me, learning to play the mesmer properly in pvp is so worth it because it's one of the best PVP experience you will ever get. All I can say is, get ready to own!
On this page I will show you some epic Mesmer PvP gameplay, some great mesmer players owning it big time. And keep your eyes opened because watching other peoples gameplay is one of the best ways of learning how to play a specific class in Guild Wars 2. And most of the videos down below do a great job explaining why and how they play with their Mesmer, the videos are both educational and a lot of fun to watch, so let's get ready for some amazing Guild Wars 2 PVP. (I'm not the creator or owner of any of the videos down below, I'm just a fan of them)
We start off with a commentary video with a Phantasm Duelist PVP Build, the build isn't 100% up-to-date with all the latest patches and nerfs but the guide is still good and really entertaining to watch.
Mesmer PvP Montage by BringYourFriends
This video is simply a montage of epic gameplay with the mesmer in PVP, it's no commentary so you might not learn a lot but you will still see some nice kills and maybe get motivated to start your own Mesmer or improve your game style and get as good as this. Great Action and great music!
Shatter Mesmer PvP - Guide and Commentary
Here's another great video about using a Shatter Mesmer Build, the video is about 20 minutes long so it's a heavy video in many ways, but you get a lot of great info and advice in those 20 minutes. He also shares his build in the video description so you get play the build he uses in the video if you want to do that. Highly recommended video if you want to improve and get more serious about your Mesmer Gameplay and PVP.
More Guild Wars 2 Mesmer Builds
If you want to get better in PVP with your Mesmer it's important to have a good and solid build. If you don't have a good build it doesn't matter how good you are at the game, you will still get beat down by those who have both a great build and can master the game. It's also important that you don't just copy and build out there, instead you should see ready made build as a source of inspiration, because we all play Guild Wars 2 differently, so don't adapt your game style to a ready build, instead adapt a ready Mesmer Build with your game style, making it your own, maybe replace a few skills or traits, swap a weapon, replace a rune or any other change, it doesn't have to be any major change. My best advice would be to take a ready build that you find online (you can find a handful of great builds for the Mesmer over here Guild Wars 2 Mesmer Builds PVP & PVE) play with the premade build a few PVP matches and take notes what works with that build and what doesn't work for you. Then just tweak the build until it suits you perfectly. Like I said before it doesn't have to be any big changes but some changes is always needed, because we all play this game differently. Good luck and happy hunting!
There's been a lot of amazing updates in Guild Wars 2 in november, not only was the Lost Shores event weekend just amazing. The event also affected the world itself, which is just awesome. But there's also a bunch of new items and skins out on the Training post after the update, and it has really stur up the market if you ask me. But the absolute favorite of mine is the new and fantastic miniatures that came with the Lost Shores, there's 3 new mini-pets.
It's the Mini Karka
And the Mini Karka Hatchlings
And then there's the Mini Reef Drake, this one is my favourite by far! I'm actually trying to get my hands on this bad boy right now, but it's hard man, it's really hard.
Which is your favourite Guild Wars 2 mini-pet? It doesn't have to be any of the Lost Shores miniatures, leave a comment down below! My absolute favourite is the Polar bear, it's simple, cute and fantastic! I actually own 6 of these, I don't know why. LOL

I've talk to a lot of gamers that says that they level up so slowly in guild wars 2 and so of them complains a lot about that aspect of the game.First and foremost, I would liketo ask everyoneto simply chill, there's no reasonto rushto end level (level 80) because the gamedoes not have aspecificendgame like many other MMORPGs have (for example World of Warcraft).You will enjoy the game muchmore ifyou take the timeto look aroundand explore this fantastic game world.This is also howyou getexperience.Those whothink thattheyget too littleare usually the oneswho justrunsfrom heart to heartand maybedo afewevents hereandthere,thenfeel that they shouldbe able to gointo thenext area.Itdoes not work thatway!

Trading directly between theplayers in Guild wars 2 do not reallyexist.The idea is thateverything shouldbe handledbytheso calledTrading Post, which caused quite a bit of trouble in the land of Tyria when the Trading Post simply did notworkat all duringthe firstweek.It'sonlinenow but there's still a few problems with it now and then, but most of thebarteringproblems shouldbe over by now.If you want tosell somethingto a friendand not have togo through theTrading Postthe best way is to do it viathemail system.However, there isno securitythere, butyoucan only hope thatyour friend is not stealing your item without paying.I hope thatArenaNetrealize thata CODsystem (cash on delivery), whichrequires thatyou paytopick uphis packageis something that onlyenhances safety andthat it would bea great addition tothe Trading Post. But keep in mind that the Trading Post takes a fee of 15% when you sell items, and that can make selling items really expensive in the long run.

Guild Wars 2 isn't like MMORPGs like World of Warcraft or SWTOR (eventho, swtor is going for the semi-free model that LOTRO uses) where you got to pay a monthly fee in order to play the game, in the guild wars 2 world there's no such thing as a monthly fee or a subscription, it's like any other video game that you buy for your console, you buy it and that's it, but it's possible to get more stuff and content if you pay, in console gaming that is DLC packs, but in Guild Wars 2 they have a gem store that's filled with fancy things like cosmetic items and boosts that you can buy for gem (which is obtained with real money)
This makes GW2 a unique MMO, there's not many games in the genre that has this much content and updates and still don't have a monthly fee.
How to get a free copy of Guild Wars 2
But what if your super poor, like many of the gamers of today? Paying $60+ is a lot of money if you ask me, and if your not sure if you're going to play this game that much and just want to try it, then $60 is a lot for a PC game. But there's way of by-passing this. I myself got a copy of guild wars 2 and a copy to my girlfriend using a simple and fantastic site called Points2Shop, this site let's you earn rewards by doing simple task. You can find a guide that talk about everything you need to know about getting Guild Wars 2 for free, you can find it over here: How to Get a Copy of Guild Wars 2 For free
What ells is unique for Guild Wars 2 as a MMORPG?
So what ells make Guild Wars 2 unique from all the other MMORPGs aside from that the game has no monthly fee. The whole game is more focused on having fun and a great time exploring the huge world of Tyria then having to grind for gear, the gear in GW2 isn't that important, and in later parts of the game (end-level) it's more about having items that look good then having items that will kill your enemies in one hit (like in WOW) Not everyone thinks this is a good thing, but for me as a gamer that don't have time to grind for hours and hours each day in order to have a decent change in PVE & PVP.
The PVP in Guild Wars 2
Let's compare PVP in Guild Wars 2 and World of Warcraft for example. In WoW you need to grind for hours and hours in order to get some good PVP gear so you can have some fun inside the battleground, and in Guild Wars 2 there's so much different, in Guild Wars 2 everyone has access to the best PVP gear and instantly gets the max level, so everyone has the same starting point but of course you can customize your character so it suits your play style and tactics, This makes the whole game about skill and not gear. So is this a good or bad thing? For me it's a good thing but I can imagen not everyone thinks like me, but at least we have a new MMORPG that dears to be different to all the World of Warcraft clones out there.
One of the best ways of improving your gameplay and play style in Guild Wars 2 is learning from the best, checking out other peoples videos and see how they play the game and how there builds and traits looks like. I'm going to show you some epic thief game play and Guild Wars 2 Thief builds that's going to help you dominate in sPVP, PVE and PVE. I'm starting with a Double daggers Thief Build made for PVP in tournaments and sPVP in general.
Having the right skills, traits and weapons as the Thief is one of the most important parts if you want to be better playing as the Thief, it's important that you have skills that suits your game style, whether you want to play more defensive, support your team or if you want to deal huge damage, it's all about using the right builds for your Thief. Down below I included a link to a list of video guides that talks about different Guild Wars 2 Thief Builds, perfect for anyone who want to improve their sPVP gameplay. You can either copy these builds right off and start using them or you can watch these videos and take hints and tips from them and let the pros of this game teach you a thing or two.
This build for the Thief have just amazing survivability and a lot of healing, check out this video and follow the steps on how to build this build for your own Thief.
Gems in Guild Wars 2 can be a amazing thing. I'm going to talk about some of my personal favourites in the Guild Wars 2 Gem Store and what I think is worth buying and what's not, and I will also talk about how I get my gem cards for free using a simple little guide. But first things first.
Guild Wars 2 Gem Store
My Personal Top List of Items on the Gem Store.
The Boxing Gloves - These cosmetic items are fantastic fun! You can acctully hit people with these and then the gloves makes a cartoonish Pow!-effect! I included a video of the blows down below. (I'm not the maker of the video)These bad boys will cost you 300 gems
The Top Hat - This next item is a must for all you classy players of Tyria, the top hat is one of the most stunning items if you ask me. Are they worth the 200 gems that they cost? Hmm...for me yes, but I would understand if you don't think so, this cloth hat is for me a fantastic little item :)
Dye Packs - These items might not be the most fun items in the gem store but what would the world be without colour?! I love dying my armor with some dashing colours, and I actually made some nice gold using these dye packs selling dyes on the trading post, but keep in mind that the dyes you get are random, so it's a bit of a gamble, don't expect to earn gold buying these packs. You get 7 dyes in these packs, you get 5 common and 2 rare or uncommon dyes and they cost 200 Gems/pack.
Karma Boosters - These boosters are acctully a must now in the new update of Guild Wars 2! Now that you get Jug of Liquid Karma with the daily and the monthly achievement, you can use the Karma booster to get a 50% Karma boost when using the Jug of Liquid Karma, this combo will give you a huge amount of Karma.
Character Slot Expansion - I like playing and testingall the classes and profession of Guild Wars 2 but it's a shame that the characters slots are limited to only 5 slots so that you can't have one of each class on your account. With the Character Slot Expansion you get one morecharacter slot for 800 gems, so yes it's very expensive but if you're like me who like to play a lot of different classes and love to level up and questing, then this is for you.
This was my personal top list of the Gem Store in Guild Wars 2
How to get Free Guild Wars 2 Gems
So now on to the good part, how you can get a bunch of GW2 gem cards for free, I do this by following a simple guide. Be aware that the guide is a bit time consuming and requires you to do some work, so don't expect that someone is going to hand you a bunch of gems just like that, it's not going to happen. It's like everything in life, you need to work some to obtain what you want, if this doesn't sound like something for you I suggest you go ask your mom for a guild wars 2 gem card instead.
For the rest of us who knows that nothing in life is handed out without something in return this is the guide for us. Thou the guide IS 100% free and it won't cost you anything to read the guide or get the actually gem cards, see it as your time in return of these fabulous gems. You can find the guide over here, both these guides works just fine, you can check out them both out.
