I plan to get my mesmer up to 80, and give him the nearly crafted twilight from my warrior. Said being, I need some unique builds. Anyone got something cool that they are willing to share?

Hey Micbobo here I've been asked to put my build on the forum so here we go . 1. Sword Torch, Staff build All tank (This gives you incredible survivability. If you do it right you can troll 10-15 people around for a long time. The problem is you will take forever to kill tanky people.) 0/20(III,X)/30(III,X,XII)/15(II)/5 The gear: Main hand sword/off hand torch/Two handed staff (All power/tough/vitality) Temple karma gear or invaders from worldvsworld karma/badge vendors (power/toughness/Vitality) Exotic or ascended rings,amulents,etc (power/toughness/Vitality) with crest of the soldier Runes/Sigil’s Soldier or Dolyak rune x 6 (If you want to lose a bit of tank and get more dmg and mobility you can go for 6xCentaur runes) Superior sigil of Bloodlust on staff Superior sigil of Acuracy on off-hand torch Superior sigil of Force on the one-hand sword 2. Sword Torch , Staff Build with more dps (Still tanky enough) 0/20(III,X)/30(III,X,XII)/10(II)/10(VI) The gear: Main hand sword/off hand torch/Two handed staff (All power/tough/vitality) Knights set (power/precision/toughness) All the accessories with (power/toughness/crit damage) Runes/Sigil’s Centaur runes x 6 Superior sigil of Bloodlust on staff Superior sigil of Acuracy on off-hand torch Superior sigil of Force on the one-hand sword

Thank you, thank you thank you! I need to regear my mesmer. I have got rabid stats on my armor and running with runes of undead for condition damage. I have to re do my weapons all are beserker stats but its going to take longer to farm enough gold for those -___-

Heh - if you're wanting a condition build, with a bit of weapon power - Rampager > Zerker, imo. I'm pure condition/Runes of the Undead, myself. Rabid Armour/Trinkets, currently Rampager weapon sets. The big problem there, is your Health is going to suck HARD. The Toughness isn't half bad, though. The major problem with Mesmer condi builds besides Health is how random Winds of Chaos conditions are. That % chance of Vulnerability does shit for cond. damage, and is only useful for Power-based attacks. Also, Confusion stacks intensity, instead of duration. This makes most condition Mesmer builds depend on two things: 15+ Dueling, and 20+ Chaos. The rest, of course, is in Illusions. Preferably 0/20/20/0/20, with the remaining 10 as floating traits.
(Yes, Acharis: Condi builds are generally looked down upon, it would seem. I blame all the Shatter and P/V/T Mesmers. It's ALL their fault ... Also, to be completely honest, our condition application is mid-range. Go figure, Engineers make arguably better Confusion-stackers than the class said condition is supposedly mastered by. Let alone all the other crap they can toss. You best bet for weapon Sigils as a condi-Mesmer would be Superior Earth on at least Staff. This synergises with the extra bleeds provided by Sharper Images.)

As for Rytlock's original request: For a heavy-GS Mesmer, you could always go Valkyrie Armour and Weapons, Knight Trinkets. For traits: 20/30/0/0/20. This would grant decent Health/Toughness/Precision/Crit Damage/Power. The Vit from Valk and Toughness from Knight would somewhat offset the build's inherent glassiness. You'd also pack GS Training and Illusionary Elasticity, for Mirror Blade bounces. Other things to add would be Compounding Power/Empowering Mantras. Note, Mantra builds are tricky bastards, but with those two traits, you'd pack +16% Dmg from a front-loaded 4-mantra utility/healing bar, along with another +3% for each active Illusion.

Only problem with Osicat's specs, is that they're glassy as FUCK. He makes it work, however. You're talking mainly Zerker, with a bit of Valk/Cavalier/Knight, for most Shatter Cat sets. I'd be surprised if that Armour value tops 2000 at best. Yes, you're bursting folks into the damn PAVEMENT, but make even one solitary mistake, yer Quaggan-chow. The only specs this is untrue with are Condition Shatter Cat (the EQ's almost exactly like mine), and perhaps Mist.

You can always try Osicat's new mist shatter build. He's got about 1500-1600 toughness and can still burst things down pretty quickly. If you like conditions you can try out Kylia's build. Also on a side note Micbobo is a beast. Virsago

This is very helpful!! Though my mesmer is no where near 80 yet, she will be eventually & I haven't found a build I really like.

Hey guys and gals. For any of you have seen my mesmer (well one of them) Ciuin Uafas you will notice i tend to run into the mob, and try and causes as much panic/or misdirection as i can for the main people. or i do this to save stragglers. Well with our late night skirmishes with IoJ and DR i have come to notice that a significant portion do not know the difference between a clone and the real mesmer. Now this is where these builds come into play, while in one particular siege (lasted i think 2 hours due to sheer bulk of them) they would sit in our siege, and rarely run away. So while this was going on, me and a few of the other stealth heavy mesmers started jumping down, and finishing stomps. So here are a few of the build you may find fun to run: gw2skills.net/editor/?fgAQNAsfWlwzSpXUTsGb9IipHBHyBckUUavWJF82FC-jEyAYMBRyBA9BiIAmALiGbNrIasKbMNMRUtMAMjB-w -anti condition laughing stomper gw2skills.net/editor/?fgAQNAsfWlwzqqXUTsGb9IipHBHyBcoU0dWXJF82FC-jEyAYMBRyBA9BiIAmALiGbNrIasKbMNMRUtMAMjB-w -blind glamour stomper gw2skills.net/editor/?fgAQRAsf7dlwzipXUTsGb9IipHBHFCcnUAdLXJF22FC-jUyAorIjxCI5Ag+ATEiYCsIas1sioxqsx0wER1yAwMGA-w -torch/focus control stomper. gw2skills.net/editor/?fgAQNAsfWlwzqqXUTsGb9IipHBHFCcoUcdWHJFlGqB-jUyAoLIMWAJHA0HIiAYCsIas1sioxqsx0wER1yAwMGA-w -partial glamour blinder/stomper gw2skills.net/editor/?fgAQRAsf7dlwzqqXUTsGb9IipHBXvBcnUQdLXJF62FC-jUyAorIjxCI5Ag+ATEiYCsIas1sioxqsx0wER1yAwMGA-w -heavy annoyance stealth disrupter/stomper -Adds: you can swap Superior rune of the Centaur for Superior Rune of Melandru if you worry about stuns/conditions. -swap lemongrass for Omnomberry compote (for more heals on kills to ensure maximum annoyance) Job: Your job is to create havok, to finish off enemies, and to create general panic in the midst of tunnel visioned enemies. The fact that people begin to panic when people are stealth finished off, and when a random portal (that they didnt put down) is placed it can cause panic/misdirection. These are for group play, with solo roaming frowned upon with these. Okay folks, hope you find these interesting; people always say they want mesmers, and i bring you mesmers who are not just pure walking portals. So have fun, and keep on causing massive distractions. {To any IoJ or DR who read the beginning part, i was not poking fun at you|or calling out ineptitude, just something i saw from those who sieged us/not a full look at entire server}
