I played a rogue in WoW, which was (at first) great damage wise but the weakest class PvE (and in the uncoordinated joke of pvp endgame). Now Im looking to be a character people want to party with, both pvp and pve. Ive played competitive games for aournd 10 years so difficulty isnt a factor for picking a class.
Unfortunately, I never played the beta. I have no clue whats going on except a basic understanding of what each classes role is.
I was thinking mesmer, but I honestly dont know. Im not looking for some generic build where I can be good all around, I just want to be good at my role.
I read through some other topics, and through the list of skills, but its really hard to understand with zero ingame experience.
If someone, such as Ensign

, could give me a basic rundown of what roles mesmer can fill, whats a good subclass (or mainclass for mesmer), or any important information it would greatly help come midnight. While I do have the option of making multiple classes, my playstyle will leave me sticking with a main one. Its a pretty important decision so I dont get behind my friends should I choose a new character.
