I started a mesmer just recently, it's my third character, and Warrior is the only class I haven't touched yet. (My others are E/R and N/Mo)
So I thought I should go with Me/W for this one. However, I've been having a lot of difficulty doing the Warrior Secondary Profession quest as a primary Mesmer. I just get killed so easily!

Can anyone suggest a decent Me/W build?
As far as I can tell the warrior weapon attributes are not much use because I have so little armour, so that leaves me with just tactics.
What are your opinions?
And don't tell me to go W/Me instead. I much prefer to look of a Mesmer than a Warrior.

Well, of course you are gonna use Illusionary Weaponry when you can get it. It's just too powerful not to. The biggest thing to use when you are a warrior is the defensive stances. They help a lot since you have such low armor.

Stah2 made an interesting point that could possibly be improved a bit. The biggest thing to use when you're secondary is a warrior is tactics since you have such low armor.

Illusionary weaponry is great, but unfortunately it's an elite that you'll need to get after Droknars. I'll assume that his Me/W isn't there yet that's why he needs a good build.

You're main damage will still come from being mesmer currently and the only thing you'l l probably rely on the warrior for is stances (Tactic attribute). I still don't know exactly where you're at in the game so I can't really give an appropriate build since my knowledge of your skill pool is limited. I'll give it a shot though, just don't expect it to work extreamly well.

Theme: Basically built on making sure that you're opponent's have as little energy as possible while keeping your's up. Bonetti's defense is incase you're getting smacked by a warrior and need some defense/energy. Ether feast is for self-healing while killing some energy.
