For the people who uses two Mesmers (Panic and Ineptitude), do you have any troubles facing Destroyer groups in HM? I specifically worried about their Destroyer of Thoughts and what their Hex Eater Vortex and Shatter Hex can do.

I usually swap Panic for Tease or E-surge, as destroyers are not dangerous casters. Hell sometimes I prefer dual Ineptitude mesmers. The ineptitude mesmer is fine as the hexes are pretty short,but if you're using arcane coundrum on them you may wanna replace it with some other form of energy management.

Yea, I will probably swap Panic for Psychic Instability and Arcane Conundrum for Glyph of Lesser Energy on my Ineptitude. Thanks.

I dont think there should be too much to worry about.

When facing destroyers theres an easy recipe that works like a charm.
A solid minion army with death nova, along with skills that deal cold damage from death magic. An icy veins healing necro also works well. Putrid bile is also a good option to put in. When there also is to mesmers applying various hexes, Destroyers dont have enough hex removal to counter that.

Use alkars acid yourself, works miracles, as it deals 120 AoE dmg, and applys cracked armor.

Enjoy

Thanks for the suggestions. I do have a Minion Bomber, but I'm a Dagger Ranger so Alkar's Acid might be too much energy for me. As for Icy Veins, I'm reluctant to use any hexes because then Hex Eater Vortex will remove all the Death Novas and my Strength of Honor.
