E/Me Healing/Purging Skills

I'm having a terrible time getting my Elementalist Insignia. I'm a E/Me7 and the insignia quests are killing me (especially during the Advanced Defense). I'm getting mauled by physical attacks, plus bleeding. My Aura of Restoration heals for about 250% but it's not enough. I asked in town about a skill to clear bleeding and people told me if you're a mesmer or monk you can get purge. . . but my search only led to 'Purge Condition' for the monk. I'm wondering if this was some false information, or I'm just looking in the wrong place? Anyways, any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I've looked on guildwiki.org for you
But i couldn't find any skills that cures conditions as a mesmer...

Spec in earth, inspiration and e-storage and use ward against melee, aura of restoration, ether feast, armour of earth, I think those are your best options at this point.

Monks, not mesmers can cure conditions. Necromancers can transfer conditions, rangers can cure disease, poison and blindness only. Ritualists can cure but requires a spirit and Mend Body and Soul to do it. Assassins can do it if they have Signet of Malice.

Warriors, Mesmers and Elementalist cannot remove any conditions. Mesmers can delay crippling (only) for a while.

Skuld has the right idea on helping you beat those quests.

My suggestion is complete other quests and get higher in level. Level 7 is a little low.

You can also go Energy Storage and Fire (spam Flare and use the occational laval font or close AoE spell).

Thanks, I guess that's what I'll do. Thanks guys, appreciate it, I'll try these stradegies once I gain some levels

you should have done all the secondary profession quests, that can get you about 15k extra XP.

why do you need to remove conditions anyway? in the insignia quests, just kill the enemies fast enough and you'll win, take the fastest killing spells you have and just blast away
