1. Aggro: This does not apply to PVP but do not run into a group of enemies. Have your party designated puller do his job to allow the party to fight as little amount of opponents at one point in time.
2. Pulling: Pulling does not require but is strongly recommended to be done by a long range weapon/spell. The best way to do it is with a longbow, any longbow will do well. By doing this you are actively selecting a proper battle area for your party and you may be separating the pulled group of foes away from another group.
3. Call Target/Follow Target: As a mesmer this wouldnt affect you unless you are a damager type.
4. Calling: Players can also call several things by holding ctrl and clicking at whatever they want to call. They may declare they are blind, they have low energy, low health, or even call what enchantment or hex is currently on them. Use this to your advantage, as a mesmer you should learn how to respond to certain calls as well as be able to call them yourself.
5. Directions: Learn how to direct your party of humans to places with your minimap.
6. Chasing: This is one of the most important parts of being a meleer. Knowledge of when to chase and when not to chase plays a huge role in your performance.
7. Retreat: Part of being a good meleer is retreating. Whenever you are in danger, run back to your party. This is very cruicial to a meleeing mesmer or an assassin.
