Mesmer Power Block Build

[Mystic Memory]

Hi,

I was wondering what the basic skills of a power block mesmer usually consists of. If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it

thanks.

Diversion
Shame
Power Block
Power Leak
Utility (Shatter Enchantment, Mirror of Disenchantment, Blackout, Energy Burn)
Utility (Gale, Draw conditions)
Glyph of Lesser Energy (or Power Drain)
Rez Sig (or Rez Chant)


Some things depend on the secondary profession, like Draw Conditions or Rez Chant. I generally prefer to put Rez Chants on MoR mesmers though.

Hi thanks that helped alot

I just have 1 question though, is using shame worth it without MoR? Being 30 second cooldown and lasting just 6 seconds?

Thanks again.

if you place some points inside domination then shame is already nice to be used.

Personally I like
fast cast 9
dom 14
insp 11
2 heal
P block
P leak
diversion
e burn
shatter
sig humility
power drain
res chant

I generally run with:

PBlock
PLeak
Diversion
Burn
Shatter
Utility- shame, drain, mirror, blackout, gale, web
Glyph Lesser
Rez

Shame at 6seconds is alright. I'm not too big a fan personally. I don't see why I should use a 6s shame when I could just as easily use a 6s diversion. The only thing shame is really nice for is its cast time, making it pretty good at catching gsac hardrez so I have time to get diversion off.

2 heal res chant? Why not bring resurrect it has twice the range.
I run 10 heal on my mesmers. 11+2+1 dom, rest insp and FC (you dont even really need FC).

100% hp vs 25% hp. Who cares about energy when they should have died on a low set?

the build completely depends on the rest of your gvg build

like: if you want to spike, you take energy burn, shatter enchantment
if you want some utility and add some pressure you can go for shatter hex

Shame stops the spell from going through and hits their energy. Well timed shames are absolutely devastating to monks. Diversion screws the guy in the future if they cast through it. Shame screws them immediately. Shame is a very underestimated skill.
