I want a build made for prophicies only, so i'm trying to brain storm now before I get into the game and be like "what should i do :/"

I was thinking of something like:

EDIT: scroll down to see edited build.

Interrupt

Domination Magic -- 12+1+3
Fast Casting -- 12+1

[skill]Backfire[/skill][skill]Empathy[/skill][skill]Power Block[/skill][skill]Guilt[/skill][skill]Power Spike[/skill][skill]Power Leak[/skill][skill]Shatter Enchantment[/skill][skill]Wastrel's Worry[/skill]

------------------------

I would really like a build for a mesmer that can do some good damage. Like if they attack they get so much damage. After X seconds they get Y damage. Degen... et cetra.

I'm kind of new to Mesmer, so please help me out :]

You don't have to put 12+1 in FC......9 will be enough

Inspiration will improve your energy management

I don't know these skills are from Prophicies or not, but a little suggestion
Power return is a handy skill for interupt (short recharge)
Mistrust can be useful in damage dealing in a large mob
Blackout is a very good one for caster shut down
Guilt/Shame are useful for energy management
Spiritual Pain/Unnatural Signet are useful against Natural/Binding Ritual

Okay, first thing I'd suggest is get rid of the elite until you know what you are doing. 8+1 in FC is good enough. Put 10 into either inspiration or illusion. For example, use power drain instead of or in addition to power leak.

For PvE..lets see..

I like to run
12+2+1 Dom
10+1 Insp
8+1 Fast Cast

For your skill bar..take out power leak and put in power drain. its great for energy management. Personally I'm a fan of Energy Surge as an elite in PvE. It's a great AoE skill. I'd probably also replace Guilt w/ Energy Burn and Wastrels with a hard rez. Mesmers are good for those. The last 2 recommendations aren't really needed though. It's just what I like.

If you want to go illusion instead, some great skills are Ineptitude and Clumsiness because all classes attack in PvE.

So after reading some...

I should have:

EDIT: keep scrolling

Interrupt

Domination Magic -- 12+2+1
Inspiration Magic -- 10+1
Fast Casting -- 8+1

[skill]Empathy[/skill][skill]Backfire[/skill][skill]Shame[/skill][skill]Power Drain[/skill][skill]Power Spike[/skill][skill]Energy Surge[/skill][skill]Energy Burn[/skill][skill]Energy Tap[/skill]

-----------------

I'd bring a res signet or if i'm Me/Mo, some res if it was REALLY necessary... instead of Energy Tap.

Any suggestions on this build?

i would remove energy tap and shove in Arcane Echo to copy the energy surge.

For PvE I would kick Energy Tap and take hard rez from monk like Rebirth or Resurrection Chant.

FomF / Death Pact Signet are better than Res Chant, imo.

I used to use Flesh of my Flesh on my Mesmer before Nightfall...I could res several people before the Ranger had even finished casting his first rebirth. I prefer Death Pact these days.

If you're intent on staying Prophecies-only though, there are worse choices than Res Chant.

Res Chant is a Factions skill i believe...

meh, i don't want to create a factions character just to have /Rt...
I don't like factions as much... I'd rather just live with /Mo... and just tome Res Chant

anyways, any edits on my new + edited build?

all but rez chant is in proph
i Wiki'd the skills (not the build)... made the build making sure everything was proph. I can always put rebirth or something in there if i'm really too lazy.
