VIDEO GAMES: Prepare to be MESMERized!

Yes that's the title I went with. Today the reveal trailer for the final playable class in Guild Wars 2 hit the internet and showed us the Mesmer. This was one of the classes available in the first Guild Wars and I played it quite a bit. The Mesmer will focus on what could be referred to as alteration magic. Stuff like creating copies of yourself to fool enemies, making teleportation platforms to move quickly from place to place in combat, making your entire party invisible to help sneak up on foes and more. From the video it looks like they'll be a little more beneficial in combat than they were in the first game where they were pretty much useful for mostly buffing the group they were in. I'm excited for Guild Wars 2 not just because it looks to offer an awesome MMO that doesn't require a monthly fee, but because the first Guild Wars remains one of my favorite games to this day. Hopefully we get an official release date soon!
