i hurd this worked pritty good in pve.... [skill]spiteful spirit[/skill]
plus none of those skills require a mesmer primary at all. in fact they are better on a non-mesmer because fast casting dosnt make them any better.

8: you didnt post a single pve build.... gg
and you said i fail?... i thought i would at least get to explain why another build was superior... do i need to explain the difference between PvP and PvE?
well you see, in PvP you fight against people who use tactics and things of that sort. In PvE you fight against mobs that use skills randomly and are easily destroyed by throwing DPS at them.

and i cant think of any builds for gvg/ha "that didnt req other player for wep spells or w/e" not work in pve, most the time i pve i find my self running "pvp" builds or as they are also are called "good builds" in pve other the a OF tank or some nub stuff like that.
any way back to the point of this thread, if you dont have a good guild/friends that play a lot id go rit cuz you can farm/heal/kill ect, if you have a good guild/friends id go mesmer cause they are more useful in groups and harder to find "IMHO good 1s any way" im sure every 1 has been in a time every time they go out with a group where you wtb mesmer, tons and tons of skills that make every 1 on your teams life better. they make it easy for monks to heal and make harder targets in to butter.
[skill]Shatter Enchantment[/skill][skill]Power Leak[/skill][skill]Diversion[/skill][skill]Signet of Humility[/skill]
now almsot 3 years after GW came out i dont know why ppl and not GLF mesmer, something like Signet of Illusions mesmer, love having them
12+1+1 Illusion, 12+1 Fast casting
[skill]Signet of Illusions[/skill][skill]Arcane Thievery[/skill][skill]Arcane Larceny[/skill][skill]Revealed Hex[/skill][skill]Inspired Enchantment[/skill][skill]Ether Feast[/skill][skill]Power Drain[/skill]rez you like or w/e, you can play just about any thing with Signet of Illusions on a mesmer,
Mesmers are 1 of the best profs in the game BUT! most people dont use them cause they cant just hit 1234567 over and over w/o thinking, Playing mesmer will make you a better player, and make your team run smoothly. I dont know why they are not a reqed prof for ALL teams for any thing

Your build is the reason why mesmers are shun.
At least you could have dumped a few PvE only skills in the place of the stealing skills ...
And the best thing about mesmer skills?
Most of them are as effective as low-ish as they are with max-ish attribute investment! Which makes the mesmer the perfect secondary!

because it can be used for any thing. need DPS take the ele skills, need heals take the monks skills. 1st skill is all u rly need and you can mix any spells in the build w/o having to split ur attributes. Dont forget when u steal a skill that person "or NPC" cant use that skill for X secs "think its like 30+secs" This can make teams run so smothly in HM or NM, not only are u disabling the skill you can use it back on him if u wanted with 14 in that attribute

It's useless (outside of a few foes) until A.Net decides to add
"Thievery/Larceny revert back to normal IF target foe dies". Plus "The same spell can not be stolen twice."
Because in most of PvE - you steal a skill and you are stuck with it for 30+ secs. And the dude you stole it from died after 5.
So basically you're going after the next dude with 7 skills only.
In PvE - if you want to use Larceny - you should use it in illusion builds with 0ish in dom. (The shocking part is that is EXACTLY what you did ... - but then messed up in the next step.)

And for HM missions - you telling me that you'd rather take Larceny then something like Diversion?
And AT BEST it's not a waste. IF you get lucky and actually steal a spell that is usable! How about if you manage to steal Power Leak? Or Spirit Shackles?
OR you could steal a recharging skill. Something like Elemental Attunement.
Which means - he doesn't even know that the skill is gone because it's recharging AND there is no way you can even use it.
Now tell me - how is that gamble worth picking over something like CoP?
And then you use Thievery and steal the same skill again! Or maybe his Fire attunement which is also recharging?
Hell if you're extremely lucky - you might steal a skill that the foe has two copies of! Try stealing a rez of a Sorrows Furnace monky!
Sure stealing that SS does sound nice - but if you don't get as lucky you'll end up with a full bar of completely worthless spells. And that' doesn't exactly strike me as:

It's strikes me as baggage. Yes PVE lacks long term effect and Diversion still only disables a random skill for Xsecs with the stealing skill u can disable 2 and with SoI u can use the skill at 14att. also if u read back in my 1st post u can mix ANY thing with a SOI build cuz Atts dont matter so u can use any skill you want w/o having low Atts and use them at 14att with 13FC

You disable a RANDOM spell.
The spell could actually be already recharging. So there is actually a chance of disabling a spell that the foe already can not use.
IF you use the second spell stealing skill - you have the possibility of stealing the SAME spell AGAIN.
The thing is - ANY build would be better then what YOU posted. Well - let's put an "almost" before that any ...
What you posted was pretty much the FIRST build everyone thought of when we heard of SoI - and also the first build that everyone FORGOT!
Why go into a game HOPING that you MIGHT get a bunch of good skills when you can bring them with you from the START and use the power of SoI to fuel them?
Your input isn't helping the mesmer. It actually makes him look much weaker then he really is.

It actually makes him look much weaker then he really is. 2 things 1 go back look at what i said in the build to start with and with diversion ur still disabling a random skill for the most part or not at all if they dont cast or have a monk with hex remove, not saying Diversion is bad <3 it for pvp but i find it lacking use in PVE
