The Best Possible Build? Most damage.

*I WANTED THIS VERIFIED*
~~DON'T KNOW IF IT ACTUALLY WORKS~~

The most Powerfull Mesmer on the Game, by combining his extreme fast casting ability and his ranger skills he can be devastating. Mantra of Concentration, then Mantra of Recall, 3 traps next! In 3.5 seconds he casts 5 spells!! After that he casts Serpent's Quickness and Quickening Zephyr to have a faster recharge of his skills 83% Faster Recharge, again he casts the three skills. After 20 seconds he has created at least 7 traps. In around 40 seconds he can create 14 traps. 1400 Damage without taking Bleeding and set on fire into consideration...

Fast Casting only works on spells. Traps are not Spells. Trapping without Expertise is terrible. Stances and spirits only work if they are active when you actually use the skill. There is no best build. Posting junk like this without testing it is pretty stupid. Doubly stupid now that you have an easy environment to test things in. For Shame

#1. Take a chill pill (or Midol)
#2. A simple no this doesn't work would have done fine

#1. learn the game first
#2. learn modesty first

Stating this is the best possible build is joke-worthy.

Either learn the mechanics of the game or learn modesty.

Surely this must be a joke. I have faith that this is a joke thread. Please.... please.... PLZPLZPZLPZLPZLPZLZPLZPLZPZLPZLPZLZPLZPZLPZLZPLZP SECKS

Mesmer forum scares me sometimes.

FFS it IS NOT MY BUILD IDEA. christ... are u all blind it said at the top "WANTED THIS VERIFIED. DON'T KNOW IF THIS ACTUALLY WORKS"

You claim this does the most damage eh? You should check out a Dark Aura Touch Spiker...

Not To All I Did Not Claim Anything. I Put This Build In Here Asking If It Was Any Good. I Copy And Pasted It From Another Site. Why Is Everybody So Damn Thick.

Well thats what the title of the thread says.

^_^ my day has been made.

not only because of the build (it is funny, you have to admit)

but because of the @$$clowns that chose to flame him

forum trolls FTW

Please mods bring me some god forsaken sweet relief and close this thread, the posts are getting dumber as we go

Bingo, if you read the rules you know you have to pm a mod directly you close a thread or wait for them to click upon it.

But the fact you didn't even bother trying to read the descriptions of the skills is just sad.

Cmon guys, hes a W/Mo. Cut him some slack. Clearly he has much experience customizing unique builds..

Lol this looks like an ad ^^

omg...is the mesmer mod on holidays?

We have a mod now?

I'm vaguely amused by the fact, DESPITE all the huge (and wrong) assumptions the build works on, even if they were true, it STILL wouldn't work.

Mantra of Recall (10e)
Mantra of Concentration (use resolve if trapping ftw, 5e)
QZ (25e)
Serpents Q (5e)

Well damn, 45 energy gone. Nothing left for your 10 / 15 / 25 energy traps.

How did you even assume that you'd be able to get traps off in the first place? Of course not counting all the other flaws from above.

Yes! Let's expect the foes to wait for you to set up your traps then step on them!

since when has the mesmer class been about the "most damage".

If you want dmg as the focus of your mesmer.... don't be a mesmer. Build won't work anyway, you aren't using any spells. You can't stack Mantras as they are stances. So you would be much better off as a fast cast elementalist if you want dmg.

This thread has made my day!

this build is almost perfect -- switch frenzy in for troll ungent

Zomg fo sho frenzy will give you +33% trapping speed too! 2 traps per second, you can set 100 really fast! You take 2x damage but who can come near you when you set traps so fast, like lightning!

Heheh... this thread is fun. I think it needs to be closed now though

Windborne speed will double your trap output!

Does fast-casting work on pet attacks too? Maybe if he threw in a pet, it would up the damage considerably

Seriously tho, dont worry about it, OP....we've all posted a lemon or two in our times. Just gotta laugh with it and be happy you managed to make so many people's days.

lol looking back at this thread seeing some of the people who are posting serious threads... the "question" has been answered already.

Well, I seriously doubt the serious damage this build could deal. Thus, my answer to the question : No, this is not the best build ever. Whoever posted it on that other site is a fool of the highest calibre, or close to it.

no this thread needs to be kept, it is actually quite hilarious.
lol though props to the op for taking the nonsense of the leet forumnators.

Quote:

alright children, enough already.

now for some more constructive criticism:
this build, if actually working, assumes that your opponents will come after you and go into the trap area. however, it is completely defenseless against anything with a long ranged spike attack.

the beauty of guildwars is that there is no such thing as an "overpowered" build, and a build based strictly on damage output will not do very well in all situations.

The fact that this build is a fast cast trapper already makes it a joke.

Im hoping this thread was a joke.. or a prank. But seriously, FC only works on spells, hover your damn mouse over attributes to see whats its purpose. Hell, read the damn manual.
