Yet another Upstart seeking input..Me/Ne

[Balan]

First time Posting :happy65: but been a troller for quite a bit.


For the last Week(yes a Noob here :happy05: ) I enjoyed playing such. I was intrigued with the Mesmer side of things in combat. I felt Necro would suit best what I wished from him in days ahead for Party play/PvP. Only regret I seem to agree with many is the taking on multiple targets damage at once.... never good.


Wished feed back atm where I stand atm at lvl 8 Mes/Nec. I know it isn't far in but just tring to get my thoughts together.

Mainly going only on the skills I have available to me at this time(lvl8) if I was to roll up a quick PvP char with those skills unlocked.


Mesmer
Back Fire
Chaos Storm
Conjure Phantasm
Empathy
Energy Burn
Energy Tap
Ether Feast
Illusion of Haste
Imagined Burden
Mantra of Fire
Power Leak
Shatter Delusion

Necromancer
Animate Bone Horror
Blood Renewal
Dark Pact
Deathy Swarm
Faintheartedness
Insidious Parasite
Life Siphon
Mark of Pain
Parasitic Bond
Putrid Explosion
Soul Barbs
Vampric Glaze
Vampric Touch
Vile Touch

Thoughts on how I think atm? I'm way young in this game and just getting started. So many skills are still locked to me & I will be unlocking many more I'm sure in days to come. Every day is a learning day ;)

I think that what you have is pretty good.

I see that you have Blood Renewal as your healing spell. What about swapping it or Parasitic Bond. You get a degen on the enemy and then a nice mid battle bump when it ends. I have managed to kill myself with Blood Renewal in the past.

What I have troule with is deciding on whether I should be a anti-caster Mesmer using interrupts, energy drains, etc., or a DoT anti Warrior Mesmer.

With Conjure Phantasm, Empathy, Imagined burden(for escaping), and then Life Siphon, Parasitc Bond, Faintheartedness, Vampiric Touch\Gaze, etc you have a really handy anti-warrior build. By-pass all that armour and take his health away.

However put in Chaos Storm, Backfire, Power Drain\Spike, Ether Feast, Energy Tap, Energy Burn and you have a real anti-caster build.

Btw, what I really want to get my hands on is Mind Wrack, target takes damage when energy hits 0.
