I'm a mesmer, how do I complete The Deep?

Well, I think the subject does a good job of posing my question. My main character for titles is a mesmer, I'd like the Deep and Urgoz monuments in my Hall but I don't fancy my chances of getting in a group.

I'm faithful to my guild, however we are not that organised and getting 12 people in the same place for 3-4 hours is unlikely to happen, not to mention their lack of experience in these elite areas.

My question is this, is there any way/build that my mesmer could get into an experienced group for The Deep/Urgoz Warren?

Cant think of any builds atm but if you explain why your there im sure some tolerant people will take you. It tends to only be the unexperienced or bad players or stick rigidly to the guildwiki build. If they're still not happy remind them that only 1 ele and an ss is needed for the mission, anything else is a bonus. Hope that helps

Yeah, thanks. I feel that with the Sunspear skill my Me/N can easy through out enough damage (armour ignoring too). He's vanquished all of Cantha with H/H so I'm pretty sure I'd be useful in group.

Think I'll just go down there and advertise myself, "try something new" etc.

Umm... first to tell you that deep takes only less than 2 hours if you know what you are doing and dont suck. Second, in NM your dmg output will be enough if you will be FC Me/E Nuker, I know this because I had mesmer which I used to complete that with bunch of friends. But you will need to use a guild/friend group. Everyone you find at deep will just think "noob mezmer, cant do anything, we only use pr0 SF 1 2 3 spammerz".

A Mesmer can play different roles indeed a FC ele Me/E but they make a good SS also... even in HM in a good 4-4-4 group you can just use a mesmer build....

We love to mod builds with our guild...

31 mins in HM with our modded build is so much more fun then some wiki build ^^

my guild takes mesmers sometimes but you wont find a group in a pug

you'll have to go with guildies.

a mesmer can take the place of the SS and Sv if your running 4-4-4 and the mesmer can nuke. mantra of recovery rodgort and what not

but if your trying to find a pug with an open mind.. you might as well give that thought up now.

For the deep I would say switch to Me/N and play the ss/shivers part. Hope that helps.

A BiP might be an option as well, since they are sometimes hard to find there, you may get an open minded PUG

I used to do the 'all-mesmer' groups before (and just after) Factions came out, I really should pop down to War Camp one day and say hello again.

Last time I was there Shan had dragged us to Urgoz, that was a long time ago

Thanks for all the suggestions guys!

yesterday i get same problem ..

in Deep noone wants Me,Rt,R,D .. thats sux ..

I have Me 1 year old .. my xp r not low .. i do with my guild team so well as any of other chars ..
but normaly ppl dont trust for mesmer in deep ! thats sux .. on principle they dont use Me .. because there is the team build 3 W 3 Mo 3 E 3 N , there it is ..
if u go 4444 u can use Me , if u go 3333 u cant use Me because it cant clean room in 2-3 min ..

I have wery nice build for the Deep, can kill the spirits , minions , can do the 400dmg 5sec all mobs in same time .. after 10 sec i can do the same .. thats mean in 15 sec i can do the 800dmg for all mobs. as same like Ele or N..

and other thing

if the W play with the EOTN norn Elite skill (bear) for Tank .. this can do any char !!!

why i want play with mesmer ?
because i want to grow up my xp for him not for other chars who i dont like so much !

for ignoring in deep the Me i do the Ele ..
came to the deep .. and understand the ele can do the deep nice but Mesmer can do the same, maby 30 sec slower ..
and .. with mesmer when u go .. there is no energy wack,have armor ignoring to mobs.. when ele with MS and SF do 0dmg then mesmer do 80 - 100dmg ..
in wiki The deep build ned 3 eles .. all the time the 3th ele cant start the send MS, because all die before that.. better then i do with mesmer and do the faster killing then third ele ..

is problem in room 1 ?
never get it .. allways we came out first then Ele and SS ..

only the guild take me in the party .. i want do the video Me/N in The Deep to show any one have mesmer can do the same Ele and SS ..

tnx for reading this post ..

try a few builds to see what people would like, Fast casting Nuker, fast casting ss hexer, you know have fun with it, Degen of death Mezzy, or a ss,backfire,empthay combo build.

Or the Ursan blessing its great and for the other 7 skills leave them blank or take lota resis LOL and if someone says WTF when you ping it LOL them. for a weapon bring a scythe or daggers for more energy gain and you will keep the blessing up the entire time.

Ursan Blessing...finish EOtN and get the shrine blessings while playinig thru the game normally you should be at least rank 3 then when you finish the game turn in your hero book and get another 20000 pts in norn you will be level 5 at least and then use ursan blessing and anyone who knows anything will take you on their team to the deep

i did the deep as mes/rt - i cant remember my bar atm, but i had splinter weapon, nightmare weapon, inspired ench for the boss, MoR, flesh of my flesh and prolly spirit rift and ancestors rage, not sure atm. u might want to try int dis instead of amer dis, its easier to find a group on int for some reason.

I often deep with mesmers running this build or similar - go in room one and so long as the tank pulls kanaxai to the irk's then the room will be cleared in 1 min. Replacing an ele with a mes is very effective, but most pugs don't know this - so if you do get a team, eaither they will be experienced or they will not have a clue. Watch out.
If you see me there give me a call ill be able to help you out.

Perhaps, angmar_nite, when you say things like that in future, you only say it on subjects you actually have any idea about? Just an idea.
31 mins if perfectly possible, even after the oni nerf.

Be creative..I have made Mesmer PVE bars that I would like to say are both fairly spammable and energy friendly involving only Mesmer skills.

Now I wouldn't want to ruin your fun in finding a good PVE Mesmer build by posting one!

31 mins if perfectly possible, even after the oni nerf. 12 Rooms.

31/12 is about 2 and a half minutes each room. Granted some don't involve fighting, but others take a considerable amount longer then two and a half minutes. WIth consumables, it could be almost possible but then again nothing with consumables is worth bragging about unless it's the fastest in the game.

As a PvE Mesmer myself (3k+ hrs), i'd say the best way to do these kind of things is to organise somehting with friends or guildies. I can go with you if you want.

PUG's just won't give up the Shove/BIP/MM/LoD Arcane Mimicry/HB. (if they still run that, haven't been to the Deep for Ages).

Maybe I can join this weekend. My ingame name is Nolani Blaze.

Either go with friends, or try to go as a FC nuker or maybe even BIPper in a PuG, I suggest friends/Alliance though, it's more fun that way.

Not the best time - but thats not what we are arguing about - its 31 mins and there are FIVE mesmers.

After that, maybe you should read my last post again.

Yes, they can. But so can anyone else.

So you're not playing as a mesmer, you're playing ursan. They are completely different.

saying ursan is a build is pretty viable, lots of people pug ursan and a mes is as good an ursan as any tbh.

But if you actually want to play as a mesmer, then ursan isn't an option. It all depends on what the OP wants to do. Actually play MESMER or use UB. The two are completely different overall.

And since this thread has been rezzed once, I don't think we're going to find out what the OP actually wanted, so I'm done.

Urgoz is possible to do with 3 real people and rest heroes with good builds. I have done it with 2 other guildmembers a while ago. It only took us 2-3hours. We almost didnt died. Before entering we read the post on wiki to make sure what to do in each area and which strategies to use. It should work. To defeat urgoz we let our heroes out of the range of moss popups and me(Necro SS with Assassin Support and barbs), 2nd guildmember(warrior with deep wound etc) 3th guildmember (ele, also having assassins support) we managed to kill Urgoz in no time. We started running as soon as our spells where casted.

For the deep i suggest to go to International district. Most groups only want 3W, 3Ele, 3Mo, 3Necro's to play. I have been in a few groups that used Me/E, same build as the traditional E/Me but with less attributes in fire.

Although you can do it with 2 other friends/guildmembers, but kanaxai will be hard to kill. My guildfriend and i tried it but never could kill kanaxai himself.
