why does almost all 4 builds have Protected Mantras slotted when none of them run mantras?  Also... is your "Glass Cannon" build a shatter build?  cause everything slotted is +shatter dmg etc

[Blowi]

Which builds are you talking about? I believe I've updated my builds a few days ago.

It used to be bugged but that was mainly because of the trait change where Deceptive Evasion was moved to 2nd tier from minor trait in Dueling. This bugged out with the current builds, but that shouldn't be an issue now.

Interesting.... when I click on your "How to Mesmer" Link i get taken to http://www.bob-guild...topic.php?18614

I must have something linking me there instead of http://www.guildwars...ad-info-please/

So I guess now that I see the correct link a better question in regards to all the builds is which do you find the most fun !   ;p

[Blowi]

That's really odd. No clue why that happens '


You're posting in this thread though? Go to page 1 and you should see the guide.

Yup I see it.  So, of all the builds which do you find yourself having the most fun with?

[Blowi]

At the moment the hybrid is by far the most enjoyable for me. The playstyle it allows with persona is amazing plus you are not an expert in 1v1 or teamfight, but you are really good in both which really makes the build viable.

[Azral]

Interesting with all that shatter what skill sequence are you typically pulling with that hybrid build?  I admit I am not very versed in shattering strategies

[lellyville]

what runes to use for power mesmer?

scholar or orge?

[zcoob]

can you explain the runes you use in the hybrid build? i don't see a 5% chance of spawning a dog being better than the other things you could get. and how much does the vampire rune #2 heal for?

It almost always procs in a fight when it's off cooldown plus the power & crit is good. You can mix it around, you don't have to follow my build 100%. The heal is about 900 per proc.

[Strumfeta]

How much healing stat is needed to have  decent regenaration with rune of Dolyak?

[Phnxfm]

i'm learing mesmer with swor/pistol staff condition build.

what i dont understand is why you go for "power" runes and why the builds all use that 10 points in domination because i just use shatter very rarely. furthermore some go for  illusions VI which also is for shatterskills. i  run 0/20/0/20/30 and dont use that skill.

quick question

if i get traits like 'Illusions deal 15% more damage'

Does this work on Phantasms?

Illusionary Persona: You count towards total number of illusions. Must have illusion active for shatter to work. Does NOT cause visual shattering effect on yourself. v1.2 update - Also, it cause an unerring hit & CANNOT be used w/out at least 1 illusion.

Maybee they changed it back but I can use shatter without having one illusion out. Illusionary retribution works with it. Dont know if shattered condition works someone has to try it. If yes it would be a amazing way to clean conditions.

Blowi if you would be so kind to give credit to the sources of some of those builds. Almost makes me regret giving shake my hybrid build if people are going to advertise those build publically without first asking and giving credit.

Luckily I have improved on that build a bit but still.

I'm sorry, but what? I'm giving credit to all those I borrow something from, I don't steal. All the builds I've posted are the ones I've made myself. I haven't got them from anyone else, but I don't like the idea of people claiming builds either simply due to the nature of such a game where you ain't the only one with an idea or two. Either way, I'm sorry if you feel hurt but I haven't stolen anything from you.

I've never spoken to Shake if he is in my guild, perhaps he is NA? Either way, easy on the accusations

I am not saying you stole, I openly gave such builds to a member of your team. But hopefully you understand how seeing your build being posted after actually giving it to that team puts up red flags. Maybe you did recreate it but obviously from my perspective that wouldn't be my first assumption.

Its also not so much a matter of who created what, etc, we aren't in it for publicity. It just seems very disrespectful. I know its easy to lose track of the source of such a thing so in my first post I was trying to point out you might want to look into that. If it was from myself it would just be respectful to say so.

I honestly have no clue when you gave that build to my guildie, I was using this build in the first week of launch together with a few others, testing them and seeing how they works. I replied as I did because it'd not have been my first thought that someone "stole a build", it implies you are the only one who can think of builds. As I said, if I know I take something from others I've always asked them first and then given them credit which is why I'd say your first post left me with a bad taste in my mouth

[Baron Von Stank]

lol @ you stole my build... as if hundreds/thousands didn't think of the same thing before you did.

[osicat]

While level my Mesmer I been spending my traits in ways I like. Now I want to appologice to anyone who might come up with the build I now use before me, I dint mean to steal It just happend.

[Sinnacle]

Has anyone noticed that duelist seems to attack faster now after the patch

I know they made warden attack a little slower with 5 sec cd but pistol seems to attack faster traited now

[F O S T E R]

From wiki: Skill use every 7.6 seconds. With Phantasmal Haste, skill use every 6.6 seconds.
So it needs to test duelist at mists.

[rotsono]

Sry for up an old thead but are the builds still viable?
