Hello everyone!

My main character is a warrior, but I've decided to create and play another character because I was really curious how the other professions handle. I created a mesmer character a week ago, and it's currently level 11.
I'm having an extremely difficult time staying alive during most pve battles. Even against a level ~10 moa, I defeat it with barely any HP left.
I feel like I'm underpowered, but when I upgraded my equipment, nothing really changed. Maybe I'm just playing the character not that way it's supposed to be played? I think my "warrior" mentality is taking over when playing the other characters.

However, I do enjoy playing my mesmer character. I just wish it wasn't so weak.
