V. Basic Gameplay
As well as PvE this will provide a lot of fun in PvP. Every time the enemy wonders where that darn mesmer is, you'll be slipping back into stealth. If they do manage to finally see you, they should have plenty of conditions on them plus they will feel the effect of heavy confusion on themselves if they are foolish enough to attack you (which in PvE they are, of course.)
