Mesmer Builds for PvP

I've looked into a bunch of builds that are possible for anti caster, but I can't find a balanced mesmer build that works well on everything. It's like mesmers are only good against Elementalist. Been having difficulty, so I'm appealing to the boards for some help here.

And yes, please don't suggest reading the Mesmer builds. I've done that and they didn't help too much.

BTW... I can't figure out Wastral's worry. It seems that WW is only good if they don't use a skill, well.. what's considered a skill? Any skill... or just non-spells?

The premise of most of my PvP mesmer builds uses a combination of Mind Wreck and Spirit shackles to deal some damage for physical attacks.

Much appreciated.

Ok, so you didn't find one in the builds section, how about posting a new thread in that section so the next person like you that comes along can find them in that section?

skill means everything spells enchantments attack skills preperations signets you name it (i'm not too sure on signets) not to mention the main thing you wanna do is lock up there monk wich ussually have 40-30 something energy (right ?) so i suggest a energy denial build

1.Energy Surge(E)
2.Energy Burn
3.Signet of weariness
4.Strip Enchantment
5. Mark of Suberversion
6.Power leak
7.empty ( put own skill here )
8. ressurection signet

Fast casting 8ish
Domination Magic 16
Blood magic whatever points u have left

feel free to alter where needed

elementals are at the short end of the sick, so no use bring anti elemental

The question is a build that can take down everything.. not just focus on one build. I'm not looking for a mesmer that's 100% anti-caster, but something that can evenly take down any build it comes against. Like if I'm doing a PvP and I have to go against warriors as well as casters. If I'm 100% anti-caster, that's no good. But who knows, the next match could be 100% casters.

Appreciate the input Elena

No such animal. With only 8 skills, it's hard to plan on being able to counter "everything".

The closest you could get would be to take a modified E-Denial build (since everybody's got energy) and swap out some of the caster-specific nasties for things like distortion, spirit shackles, sig of midnight, etc to deal with W's and R's.

If there's a mesmer build out there that can walk all over any other build: it would still get beat-up by another mesmer!

I'm thinking that mesmers and necros are simply support. I just can't find a mesmer primary or a necro primary build that's really meant to deal loads of direct damage. Although you can use teh minion bomber option, there really aren't any good builds I find that do this.

Ok for casters E-Denial, Warriors/Rangers go Mesmer/necro and put in some anti-warrior / ranger skills, and Ta-Da!


Energy Surge
Energy Burn
Signet or Weariness
Diversion
Distortion
Anti- Warrior / Ranger
Anti- Warrior / Ranger
Res sig any type of res

I think the only necro build that dishes out pain are hp degen necro's, you could try blood spike but i don't think it works very well if you're the only necro.

You can also make anti-tank mesmers and chuck on like empathy and degen hexes.

Yeah... I've been playing with my N/Me quite a bit. I can cause very quick degens that get enemies down to 33% health (or less) quickly, but never enough to kill them. Even if I have death nova, it's keeping them down that's the problem.

All the builds I see for necros and mesmers are more support than anything.

Oh well
