I am gonna make an air spike char (prophecies) and was wondering whether I should do Me/E for fast cast or E/ for Energy storage

You don't make a character for ONE build for all of pvp/pve. Make a mesmer if you want to interupt and shutdown AND fastcast your build. Or run an ele for all the ele builds AND the air spike build. (ele would be better for you).

Ele, if your spiking you want maximum damage per hit. For that you want +1 headpieces, and runes.

I agree with Robin. Damage is more important than fast cast, as far as I'm concerned.

Ele, once you get to the end you'll know why!

the benefit of the added energy with an ele helps as well considering there are numerous air spells that cause exhaustion.

If you're going to mostly Pve, than elementalists for energy as mesmers have the worst energy management in the game. Eles can heal 'n bond, AP nuke, blind spam, and more.

I would agree too because Mesmer is kinda an abstract class.

When I started to play GW 3 years ago I made a Mes as my very first toon because I thought that fast casting woud make all the difference but i was wrong and I did not understand that mesmers make their enemies kill themselves.

Ever watched Hero's the TV show? There is a guy there that controls people's minds? That is a mesmer and the skills are weird (for someone like me to grasp)

So go ELE and lay waste to your foes with 110 energy!!

I would cast my vote with those who say E/. They large energy pool of the Elementalist is more important for a spiker than fast casting. (PvE)

Definitely an ele.

You don't need FC for air or fire, they're fast enough on their own or with a 40/40 set. With water or earth with FC is useful, but water and earth doesn't shine as much in pve compared to pvp.

Mesmer is the ONLY class who's e-management is NOT LINKED in any way, shape or form to their primary attribute. "Cough" inspiration "cough" my ass.

Did you not read what I said?! I stand by my words. Mesmer IS THE ONLY CLASS who doesn't have e-management linked to it's primary in any way, shape or form. Warrior's have Warrior's Endurance, Counter Attack and Flourish. Where are these skills located? You're a Warrior so you should know this shit. Why do I have to explain that to you? Also Fast Casting does not provide e-management inherently or through it's skill set, something that EVERY class is capable of including YOUR WARRIOR.

Riddle me that.
