So i have a ranger Mezmer and im not sure how to use her or how to even cast some of the stuff, i had been using backfire and hex breaker to deal damage to healers and then keeping them from casting as much as i could with distracting shot and that kinda stuff, even nailing them for energy and all i do is get picked off later i dont really feel like im doing anything except being useless i could really use some help with skills i could use and mabey a little stratgy. I know its a good build i just dont know how to use it.

This is a very general build, but unless you say exactly what you're using this r/me for, and what role in a team build you're expecting to fill, you're not going to get much better. And it's mesmer, not mezmer.

Works good for damage, but somewhat vulnerable to hex removal.

But it looks more like you are going caster shutdown. The question is, which type? Interrupt (In which case you want Distracting Shot and Choking Gas as your basis) or Energy Denial (In which case you want Dibilitating Shot and some Mesmer steals)?

Or you could just focus on one or the other and use the other class just as an inbetween. A for instance would be building a shutdown mesmer, but keep a secondary bow weapon and apply poison just to keep them guessing.
