Have a look at my build - it's nearly identical.

It looks like you are trying to do too many things at once. Damage wise, your build is lacking.... You have no spiking ability by yourself, and your DPS is very low.

Otherwise, MoH + SoI is a very strong core that a lot of people run. Stick to this idea, and you'll have a stronger build overall. You also have no elite.

Suggestion: take out SoTS, DD and entangling. It's fine if you stick with deadly arts, because there are a lot of decent shutdown skills in that line.

Try things like siphon speed, disrupting daggers, siphon strength, mark of insecurity, signet of twilight, etc. Obviously, this build won't be made for RA or AB, but neither was your build.

Good luck

Nah Signet of Illusions is a terrible skill imo. Mesmers need to be ready to do what they need without spending 2 seconds and 3/4 seconds with an elite that makes youre spells stronger than they are, but not could be.

A Mesmer needs to be able to support and harass, which means removing enchants and hexes, interupting, diverting and all sorts. In PvE the damage based versions of these will always be much more efficient.

Also make sure to get a good balance of spells you use and energy management so that you can continually use the spells you want. The best options for that would be Power Drain and Auspicious Incantation as well as some elite options that are also quite nice. Mantra of Recall and Energy Drain come to mind.

Empathy and Backfire are staples in most peoples Domination builds, and clumsiness and frustration are also great used in Illusion builds.

Play different things and see what you like.

I think trav meant MoI and SoH not SoI
