250 seems to have changed the mesmer a lot. Punishment! Confusion is a condition that inflicts damage on each skill used. You can apply it using a scepter skill or the cry of frustration shatter. Backfire is a phantasm that hits target foe when using skills. The mesmer also has at least three skills that [...]

The biggest thing is that Illusions are now literally illusions; in GW1, the Illusion Magic attribute line was primarily hexes (and also my favorite thing ever). Now, Illusions allow you to create Clones (weak illusions that look like the caster and share their name) and Phantasms (more powerful illusions that have their own names, carry [...]

After months of anticipation, this week we unveiled our eighth and final (for now) Guild Wars 2 profession, the mystifying, mind-messing mesmer. In keeping with the deceptive nature of the mesmer — a profession that is all about illusion and misdirection — we briefly placed a banner for an utterly fake profession, the minstrel, on [...]

Will Arenanet allow and encourage development of add-ons since they have become so popular and integral in MMO’s now? We won’t be allowing people to mod the game itself directly no. We feel that this encourages people to play the game in such a way that gives them an unfair advatage over those who don’t [...]

Why no interrupts? Where’s the Diversion (out of place, maybe, but still), the real Cry of Frustration, Psychic Instability, etc. I’m so sad now. I WANT D-SHOT! Loved Guild Wars, can’t wait for Guild Wars 2. Consider Interrupts! Here are the ways to interrupt: Stun, Knockdown, Launch, Knockback, Daze. Interrupts as just interrupts were just [...]

Moving on to Mesmer specifics. From the skill videos and descriptions of Illusion magic, it looks like Mesmers will quite often have mirror images of themselves running around and fighting for them, and in the instance of the Mind Wrack skill – blowing the mirrors up to deal damage (in a similar style to Necromancer [...]

Another surprise is in the mantra mechanic. A lot of speculation focussed on how mantras or fast casting could be reincorporated into GW2 mechanics, but most of them concentrated on something that was more along the lines of a class special mechanic, possibly a bit like elementalist attunements but… different. Instead, we have skills that [...]

Illusions—Mesmers create illusions—mind tricks that manifest themselves physically. Most illusions are directed at a specific target, but anyone can see and attack them. They can only exist for as long as that target is alive and can only be dispelled by attacking the illusion itself. A mesmer can maintain up to three illusions at a [...]
