Consider starting a Mesmer with a focus in Domination Magic, then switching over to Illusion once you have collected the skills and equipment you need for your build. |
In conclusion, Illusion Magic may be too strange for newcomers to the game to fully appreciate its myriad of effects, but in the hands of an experienced player, it can be a crippling and powerful tool, especially against melee attackers. |
