This is a quick guide to what you need to do before your first DoA run. Please remember that these are the bare minimums, and further requirements may be enforced.

Equipment

Armor with the following

• Full radiants
• +1+3 Domination
• +3 Fast Casting
• Superior Vigor
• 2 Runes of Attunement
• One piece of armor with Radiant and Superior Illusion. This piece replaces one of the Attunement pieces. Use this armor piece if you're the TK.

The following equipment

• 40/40 Domination set
• High energy Domination set (+15-1 on both wand and focus)
• Any longbow or flatbow

Skills and ranks

These PvE skills

• "You Move Like a Dwarf!"
• "Finish Him!"
• Pain Inverter

These EotN ranks

• Norn rank 5
• Asura rank 5
• There is no requirement for Lightbringer rank, but remember to always display it and make sure it shows up in your effects monitor. Always take the bounty if you're not max rank.

Consumables

How many of these you will use during a run will vary depending on how much you (and others) die, so make sure you won't run out in the middle of your run. At least 20 of each should mean you're safe, even if things go horribly wrong. If you can't afford everything before your first few runs, just ask for some.

• Res Scrolls
• Birthday Cupcakes
• Candy Apple
• Candy Corn
• Golden Eggs
• Pumpkin Pies
• War Supplies
• Personal Death Penalty removal, like Pumpkin Cookies. Do not use anything that affects the morale of your team!
• Some teams may require you to bring Ghastly Stones. Try to always have at least some kind of Summoning stones with you in case you need to divert the attention of some mobs. The Legionnaire is great for this, as it only costs skill points.

Again, please note that this is a list of only the most basic equipment. Refer to Mesmer Equipment for a more complete list.

It is strongly recommended that you read the pages and watch the videos for the respective mesmer roles (typically MLK and TK for beginners).
