is a me/mo too much

IF i create a me/mo, will points in illution, domination, healing, and a couple in fast casting,will that be too much for one to do at once?

DO i have room on my skill bar for healing, illution, and domination skills?

Also, in a battle, would i be able to heal my party, keep them a live and skrew with hte enemy, since ive heard monks and mesmers are both full time jobs?

thanks

Yes.

No.

No.

sooo much for that plan.

I think im just gonna go mo/me and a basic healing/protection/divine/inspiration build.

but then...how do i go thru pre searing where one generaly solos?

Pre-Searing is really nothing to worry about, it's so easy. Use Conjure Phantasm and that kills everything fast. What matters is end-game, not the beginning.

conjure phantasm isnt inspiration though.....

i was gonna go healing/divine favor/ mostly with a good amount of inspiration and protection.

but i guess i could still pick up conjure phantasm and use it with zero points into whatever attribute its part of. you're right, pre searing is so easy.

You do realize that you can refund your attribute points, right? This means that in Pre-Searing you can pump points into Illusion for phantasm, and later, when you get some useful Inspiration skills, you can take the points you put into Illusion and put them into Inspiration.

would i be better off putting points into smiting and using skills like banish, than putting them into illution soley for the use of conjure phantasm?

From memory.. conjur phantasm does more damage in pre-searing than smiting.. that, and the recast time isn't as long.

well, i guess i could put like three points into illuition, then move those points into inspiration later, but i have multiple smiting spells at my disposal, compared to just conjure phantasm.

Conjure Phantasm > Presearing

Refund points for the win! You can load up your "illuition" for a little presearing Phantasm action, then change later when you get better skills.

In PvE a Me/Mo really can heal himself and at least help heal the team quite well, tank fairly well, and slay quite a bit of things.

It's just in team PvP you get too diluted.

if you do an Me/Mo for PvP you're going to want to concentrate on only 3 Attributes.

I would say 2 in Mesmer Magic and 1 in Monk. Fast Casting, Dom or Illusion, and then Healing or Smiting.

ok ill keep that in mind; one of hte reasons for me creating a mo/me, is that then i'll have mesmer and monk skills avaliable for a pvp character.

I think you'd be better off with a Mo/Me over a Me/Mo if you're mostly doing it for unlocking purposes. You'll have an easier time getting in groups for one thing, since the vast majority of PVE groups don't even understand what Mesmers do.

ATlevel 6, my aformentioned mo/me, left the beautifully benign pre-searing world.

when would be a good time to start trusting party members for damage output? Right now i have something like 3 points of healing, one of divine favor, and 4 or five or six into illution magic, Just so i can use Conjure Phantasm for 7 seconds?

again, when should I take points out of illution magic and make my self a better monk, and rely of party members for damage output?

Also, if you have health degeneration of 5, do you lose 5 health every second or what?

thank you

As soon as you find atleast somewhat competent party members.

Would the henchies be considered good enough?

Yeah, they're fine. You may want to stick to doing some damage though since you have the healer henchie, or you'll be running 2 healers in a 4 player team. You could run 1.5 healers. Once you get to areas with 6 or 8 player parties, or if you start teaming up with people, go full healing.

well, thers mage hench, fighter hench,a and archer hench, plus me for healing.
you know...bein a monks a lot harder than an ele....

my problem now is i have trouble keeping everyone alive, including myself, because of serious energy issues.

at level six i can pull out a couple healing breezes without looking at just a few energy.

Oh well, I'm sure you'll find something that works out, early PvE shouldn't give you much trouble after all.

yea Im sure ill be OK

With my PvE Mo/Me I just used healing spells with Channeling and that pretty much got me through the whole campaign. Plus you'll never have trouble finding a group as a primary monk.

I have fun with my Mo/Me. Then again, I'm Inspiration, Healing, Smiting, and left overs in fast casting. It makes a fun time for everything. I guess you could do the same as a Mo/Me just use DF instead of FC.

Thanks for the advice.

if i have points into healing, divine favor, and inspiration, would it be a bad idea to do protection as well?

Yes, that would be spreading your points too much. If you want to do a hybrid, lose Inspiration and grab another Elite.

Well, I know this is kinda late, as you've already picked your char., but I think some is still relavent for playing. I'm really enjoying my me/mo. I'm level 17 and am about half to 2/3 through pve. I started with mainly mesmer skills through pre-searing and early post-searing. Things like backfire, chaos storm, and conjure phantasm. Then, I switched to a mainly smiting build with a few of these left. I tore through a good bit of the game, either soloing or taking a hench or two, as I found that I could do more than enough damage, without their little contributions. More recently, around the aurora glade mission, I got tired of henchies and have started working towards my final build:

Havne't figured my exact levels for these (since I don't have all the poiints yet anyway, but I plan to use:
Dom. magic, ~9 +rune
Inspir. magic, ~8 +rune
Healing magic 12
Fast casting. leftovers +rune

and for now, I'm planing skills of:
healing breeze
heal other
healing seed
rebirth
ether feast
backfire
power leak
spirit shackles/dwayna's kiss/elite skill

I love the combo of mes. and monk, as it allows you to be very involved in helping your party healing, and also get a bit of "offense" in, as they look to you to shut down bosses.

I think either me/mo or mo/me with 3 main primaries and some FC can work. Of course, I'm more than happy to hear comments. After all, I still think my W/R is pretty badass. I haven't had a single bad comment from anyone I've played my me/mo with though, and I've asked for criticism. Anyway, enough of my 2 cents.

thanks tuperwho, but as you said ive already solidified my mo/me.

I dont know if protection or inspiration would help out a group more, but I really dont think that trying to protect on top of healing will be possible because of energy issues.

ALso, i think its a waste of a mesmer secondary if i dont utilize that at all.

SO i will probably for most of the game go healing, divine favor, and inspiration, and mostly be a dedicated healer with some inspiration skills to keep my energy not empty.

ALTHOUGH I was slightly dissapointed when i saw the list of inspiration skills because a large portion of them are mantras, which i dont think are too much help unless you are ina specific area.
