Favorit Mesmer builds

[Shen Al Cahar]

So ye everyone has em. Use this thread to show off with those build you or your heroes mow thru everything.

Personal favorite for me atm is:

Me/Any
Domination Magic: 12+1+3
Inspiration Magic: 10+1
Fast Casting: 8+1

Shatter Enchantment
Diversion
Visions Of Regret [E]
Empathy
Unnatural Signet
Cry Of Pain
Cry Of Frustration
Power Drain

This tends to be paired with Gwen these days, who runs this build extremely well, and I still have to see her energy bar be empty (what used to be a big problem with most of the other mesmer bars I let her play).

Me/Any
Domination Magic: 12+1+1
Inspiration Magic: 10+1
Fast Casting: 8+1

Cry Of Frustration
Shame
Energy Surge [E]
Power Spike
Unnatural Signet
Power Drain
Leech Signet
Drain Enchantment

We make a cute couple.

Favorite bar for RA atm (the only pvp format I can get into and run my own builds. I rly want to start to do some byob gvg, but I have no idea how one should go around achieving that...)

Domination Magic: 12+1+1
Inspiration Magic: 10+1
Fast Casting: 8+1

Shield Bash
Diversion
Psychic Instability [E]
Wastrels Demise
Empathy
Cry Of Frustration/Complicate (depends in what mood I am)
Drain Enchantment
Ressurection Signet

As you noticed, I still kinda swear to the 'ancient' dom/insp split. But that's because imHo Anet sucked at giving opportunities to allow other splits for (sufficient) energy management. With all due respect, but Arcane Conundrum is ****e energy management.

So ye what are urs?

Edit: Omg I just noticed the massive typo in the thread's title. Imma shoot myself now. If an admin could change that please? :P

This one's kinda pointless with Panic around now, but it still makes me rather happy:



Ignore the point spread; it's from before AC gave energy return.

My general PvE build:

(Or CoF instead of Chaos Storm.)

My hero mesmer build (all my heroes run this):

(Sometimes I slot Fall back onto these guys, dumping Shatter Hex for it.)

My FA build:



I basically don't bother with anything else these days.

[Reality Impaired]

Hardly optimal but this is what I have been running around with recently

Me/N FC:11 Ill:13 (1+1), Insp: 11

40/40 set

1). Lyssa's Aura
2). Clumsiness
3). Wandering Eye
4). Calculated Risk
5). Ether Phantom
6). Drain Delusions
7). Pain Inverter or other PvE skill of Choice
8). Necrosis

I know the energy generation from this is possibly a little OTT but I always have the energy to cast anything, esp with a 40/40 set.



My Gwen bar is:
Me/Mo FC:11 Dom:13 (1+1), Insp: 11

1). Panic
2). Shatter Hex
3). Mistrust
4). CoF
5). DRain Enchantment
6). Power Drain
7). Leech Signet
8). Resurrection Chant


I really should find a way of putting Frustration into my bar, I was there instead of calcuated risk, but I like CR too much atm.

I tend to swap around my builds depending on what area I'm in, but the main elites I used are:

1) E-surge
2) Fevered Dreams
3) Panic (only in areas that need a panic player rather than hero)
4) Extend Conditions
5) Keystone

The rest of the builds I try to have synergy with the elite I bring. I'm not sure if people still use Extend Conditions ever since Fevered Dreams/Fragility got buffed. Both have their ups and downs and both are good elites.

Elites I use for my heroes are Panic, Ineptitude, or E-surge.

[Chanur Luv]

Hello all
I am a new lvl 7 mesmer just starting Missions in Prophecies (so far so good)
Presently building in Fast Cast and Domination
...any tips or advise? Do plan to play mostly PvE

[upier]

Hey Chanur and welcome to the forums!
Don't worry about builds for now - as long as you are getting though and having fun, you are doing it right. Fight your way to lvl 20 and 200 attribute points and then worry about the rest! ^^

Oh, and I'd suggest starting a new thread or posting in one that is more geared towards starter questions than this one - much easier to get folks to answer there! ^^

Anyway, enjoy your mesmer (post pictures of the pretty in the Armour thread! ^^) and have fun with the forums!
