Basically IM A NOOB so please give feedback, lots of feedback. Tell me if im wrong, I think this build is basically casting those lightning spells quick and effiently so then we can repeat and repeat doing kinda lots of damage to the guy and adjacent guys. It depends though because i was thinking this build's weapon will be a melee, but that me kinda weak to a Caster/Caster so maybe if im holding a ranged weapon, wand, bow then maybe change Lightning touch which may result in changing blurred vision because it was one of the water hexes which works with lightning touch.

I plan to make a sith-like character, but I think Necro/Warrior is more sith. Dark armor, evil spells, the whole deal.

make sure they got WHITE SKIN and lodes of scars

and please critique this build
Give suggestions

This build is waaaaay too mana intensive.

Lightning Touch + Blurred Vision is a rather expensive and ineffective "combo".

Lightning Touch is a spell that is on my "crap" list at the moment. Its damage is conditional, it's expensive, and you have to be point blank for it to work.

Shock > Lightning Touch.

I'm thinking you need to go back to the drawing board on this build though.



I would consider dropping Mantra of Recovery, Blurred Vision, Lightning Touch, and GoLE for Lightning Surge, Lightning Strike, Lightning Orb, and Energy Drain.

If you want to stay Mesmer primary (I might think about going Ele/Mes for the extra energy) drop the fast casting down to 8 (that's the range where fast casting is effective) and pump up Air to 12 so you deal more damage.

ok i found out wat exhaustion is so why not switch Lightning touch with SHOCK and maybe remain having chain lightning, i would probably get some items which increases mana cap alot because thats my weakness, and probably change blur vision with a mana getting spell

Have Conjure Lightning active; then soften up opponent w/ Lightning Orb and Enervating Charge . Engage enemy w/ frenzy and warrior skills. If you get surronded use Whirlwind and run.

edit: Maybe change out enervating charge w/ windborne speed to catch up with runners
