So based on your guy's experience with these two classes mixed (or maybe not) and your ability to make your own builds instead of using pvx - which class combo would be better based on this info:
R/ME - using barrage and incendiary arrows on mobs.
ME/R - using pet as "tank"/"main attack"
Thoughts?
Need some help in chosing

Me/R doesn't really add much to a build. R/Me would be understandable if you were using Epidemic with Broad Head Arrow,but even that is redundant with Techobabble(and if you really need AoE Daze)
a-kyle
I was told me/r is good because you can bring a pet - most people in prof (i have all campaigns and expansions but will start in prof) go me/r for the pet.
Epidemic and Broad head arrow seem good but im going for the "your dead before you reach me" or if i decide to do a bit of pvp with this pve character then - "i will annoy you and make you rq harder then your mom" - rq = rage quit

What exactly are you going to do with an R/Me that a primary mesmer won't do better and with higher attributes?
a-kyle
slaughter you with arrows. but for stronger enemies that wont fall through a hail of arrows, like end game bosses and dungeons - ill slow you down and make you confused while i run away and hail you with more arrows....if r/me not a good choice for this? - solo (less heros/no hench) is the ultimate goal. but if I have to ill hide behind my pet or a hero or two.
I just thought of something:
if you dont fall from my rain of arrows, I could run away rain fire on your ass and then barrage you with arrows (r/e)

Me/R is good for pre-searing, but not anywhere else in the game.

My friend suggested the Bunny Thumper Build... Endgame will eat you up if you think bunny thumper builds will be workable. You're in for a shock.

so will r/me work then i need to kill with arrows. i've already beaten all the campaigns - i know what to expect, prof was so easy.
Calista Blackblood
Anything works,it's how well that matters. You've beaten everything and done endgame areas?
a-kyle
just because im unsure what something means in a build doesn't mean I haven't beaten the game. the only thing I haven't done is HM - so what I ask a "newb question" and im pegged as a newb?
Aycee
HM is what end game is. To be honest though I would be very surprised if you could get through NM, and if the option was available EM, with this kind of build. Without of course getting carried by your team in which you would be a wasted slot.
Wielder Of Magic
You can run NM with an empty skillbar and still win.
That is no endgame content.
Want a taste of endgame content?
Play DoA/Winds Of Change content/Underworld.
In Hardmode.
thats endgame content.
and it will destroy you.

Thoughts? Thoughts:
1)Choose Either Me/X for spells or R/x for pet and interupting attacks + lots of other builds.
2)Let a Hero, who is better at the job than most players run the Interupt builds.
3)Ranger primary is worth considering a Pet, but not Mesmer primary (except 1 off builds)
If you Give a spell caster a Bow or Give a physical damage dealer spells, both will be less effective (most of the time).
I'd go with R/x as you can put 1-2 mesmer skills on the bar if you really want, you can always have a pet, you have more armour and you have better PVE skills. err...(IMO)

i'll try to sum it up for you without sounding rude
me/r or r/me, choose whichever you want if you're just playing through pve, it will all work just fine.
however, if you plan on doing any harder content, you have to be more practical. any class other than a ranger using a pet doesn't work well. it just becomes a waste of a slot/attributes with no real damage. also r/e doesn't do any good because switching back and forth between casting high energy spells and firing arrows doesn't work well. leave the casting to casters.

Describing something as though it's good doesn't make it good.

You'll make them confused while you run away? No offence but it sounds like you just finished reading Anets description of the mesmer class right there. The only way you will be doing any confusing is while your team try and figure out why their ranger is running mesmer skills.
) or with a skill or two of something-else. Generally speaking, in higher areas, she is R/Mo and carries Rebirth.
