We have a winner! Mesmer is the class that the most people want to see me play in GW2 BWE3, per the informal Twitter poll I ran over the weekend:

I looked at the Mesmer talent calculator to theorycraft about the key mechanics and their implications, especially in PVP. If you’ve played Mesmer, I’d love to hear your opinions on the class and your perspective on the balance challenges that I talked about.

UPDATE (2012/07/17): People have been asking about my target Mesmer spec, so here’s my initial take:

http://www.gw2build.com/builds/simulator.php#1.8.3.7.17.0.24.24.20.0.179.198.200.195.202.2.8.22.0.0.0.542.546.0.559.0.0.576.575.0.588.0.0.0.20.15.25.10

This is an illusion-based spec where the emphasis is on Phantasm damage and three buffs that scale with # of illusions. I haven’t used Portal Entre so I have no idea how good it is.
