Alas, my mesmer begins in Cantha..

Alright, so after finally getting the game done on my Elementalist (Neriandal Freit), it's time for Alsitha to begin again.

I'm gathering his weapons, he has his armor, but I've still got a couple questions..

1. What did you feel like worked the best for your journies in Cantha?
2. What skills did you use the most of?
3. Did you feel you could find groups easier?
4. If not, did you feel that the henchmen where great to use?
5. Any other suggestions?

With the announcement of Guildwars: Nightfall earlier today, I'm wanting to go ahead and fly through the game with Alsitha as best I can and what have you, so suggestions on anything and answers to anything is much appreicated

1. Degen worked to a point, then it stopped making a difference, and now im on domination^^.
2. Backfire and Empathy should be married and have children.
3. I felt getting groups was a bout the same as Tyria, but there are more people in Cantha so that influences it somewhat.
4. I'll just say... yes ...and leave it at that.
5. If an assassin says he can get into groups much more easily than you can. Make a PvP character and take out all assassins in RA^^.

In my travels through Cantha the illusion line has worked very well in every situation for me. If you know how to utilize your skill set, you will be an asset to any party that takes you. Just remember, only the stupid parties refuse mesmers. The bad groups will weed themselves for you, and you will typically get into a group that will accomplish it's goal.

Congrats on your Elementalist finally beating the game. */Cheer* */congrats*

1. As a mesmer, you'll find early in the game Illusion is the way to go. Mid-to-near end, Domination rocks. Unwaking Waters and Shiro, you'll find both are good. Both health degen and interupts are needed.

2. Health degen in the beginning. Domination from Closer to the Stars on. We had health degens (poison, life siphon, etc.) against the Dragon and Shiro.

3. Its easier to get a mesmer into a group in Canthas than it is in Tyria. It could be more and more people are starting to see the value in Mesmers, or the fact that there are so many more spellcasters in Canthas that Mesmers are more accepted.

4. Henchmen are great in quests, not necessarily in missions. They are also not great conversationalists.

5. when announcing your presence to people in towns, state you are interupt. People love interupters. Never mention Inspiration. People who don't know what that is will ignore you.

As for Terra Xin's comment about Backfire and Empathy, they have a 2nd cousing called Spiteful Spirit.

Are you guys saying Spiteful Spirit is good for ingame?

Here's some actual useful advice and links.

When I first started Cantha I went Illusion, however once I started facing lvl 10+ monsters I began full domination. Go to this link for an easy build that can be made once you get to the Main Land Cantha.
