 * (only if you do not have Mesmer as your primary profession)
 * (only if you do not have Mesmer as your primary profession)
 * (only if you do not have Mesmer as your primary profession)

Walk down the hill to the rogue bull. It is level 5, and your physical attacks will do little damage to it. However, because Mesmer skills do damage without respect to armor, you should be able to easily take it down. Use Imagined Burden to slow the beast's approach which will delay its ability to start inflicting physical damage to you, and meanwhile casting Conjure Phantasm soon make short work of it.
