General build for mission R/Me
Tobin_UK
As title suggests, i want to know some good builds instead of scanning through the posts to find a decent one for R/Me, so have i have druids armor with travellers mask with superior vigor and one of each of the minor vigors. I have been following guide lines of this build but would it be ok to use on missions in the game http://beacon.wiseelben.com/pve_builds.htm

Mantra of Resolve used to be an excellent skill for trappers since it allowed you to go uninterupted while you layed your traps and also left your elite slot free for Spike Trap, but since it's nerf, it's not really a good option anymore.
I do see R/Me used in PvP relatively often, but the way it is used, I don't think is how you would like to use it in PvE. I however have very limited experience with a mesmer secondary since I have always prefered a monk secondary.

this is mine for pve, it only really uses 1 mesmer skill and it doesn't need anything attribute wise sunken into mesmer att's.
anyone pipe in with critiques plz
exp-11+2
ws-10+1
marks-11+4
kindle arrows, poison arrow, hunters shot, <i usually use this as an open slot for whatever, usually its distracting, dual shot or precision, pin down for pvp>,dust trap (for general support around casters in pve, pvp probably throw in something else maybe savage shot) distortion, trolls
whenever i start taking hits, i'll throw up distortion, and get to a safe place, or throw down dust trap and run,

I forgot about Distortion. As long as you have enough excess energy in your build, distorion can be a strong defense. A 5 second recharge time is a big difference from a 45 or 60 second one as in Lightning Reflexes or Whirling Defenses, respectively.

From what you wrote, it seemed to me like you were saying that you had 1 Superior Vigor rune equipped, and multiple Minor Vigor runes equipped too.

yeah i have superior vigor, the 40k one and one of each for minor runes, was this a wrong choice for it? I got told to follow guide lines from the link provided in my first post

Ah ok, you have 1 Vigor, and multiple minor attribute runes. That's better. As far as that build you linked, it is a tailor-made build for soloing the FoW - I don't think it would be well-suited to general missions. If I were you, I would focus on Ranger skills and abilities, at least until you get to a point in the game where you can go out and capture elites. Ranger is a class that stands quite well on it's own, without secondary class abilities or skills. Once you feel comfortable with Ranger skills, then take a look at the Mesmer line and see what you think might compliment your build.

ok cool, i have captured a few elites, such as poison arrow, escape and malandrau's arrows

This build looks interesting.
