I just started developing on this build today. The main combo is the infamous Signet of Midnight + Epidemic. The idea is blind the other team and self, then let your pet kill them because he won't be affected.
Please take note that I am asking for help with revising the build, Im not saying here you go use this because it needs an overhaul.
PvP Ranger/Mesmer
Skill Bar
Signet of Midnight [E] (Blind self and foe)
Epidemic (Spread midnight)
Spirit of Failure (Seeing as your foes should already be blind, this just means you now can spam predators pounce and comfort animal)
Ether Feast (Keeps you alive)
Predators Pounce (Keep the animal alive + deals extra damage)
Comfort Animal (Keeps animal alive + Ressurect it)
Charm Animal
Ressurection Signet
So basically you cast spirit of failure on a warrior, blind him and surround enemies, then spam predators pounce and any heals you need.
Thoughts?
The Blind Master - Need build revisions.

Could be fun in comp arenas which are generaly Warrior and/or Ranger heavy.

You could go me/n, get plague touch, spirit of failure, empathy, price of failure, and then let the dodge damage do the talking. Whatsmore, you shutdown two wariors/rangers, as opposed to one and yourself. Epidemic rarely hits enough people to be worth it.

Thoughts? Ferocious Strike is Elite, but it seems that you just accidentally replaced Predator's Pounce in the skill bar.

Yeah I noticed it was an elite so I took it out but forgot to rename it.

Ressurection Signet I'm not sure where your skill points are, but if you are high in Expertise then energy won't be a real big deal and you might be able to sub Spirit of Failure with something else. I'd also drop Predators Pounce for two reasons, 1 is that people still tend to ignore the pet so it shouldn't really be taking much damage, people would rather go after the owner, and 2 is that Charm Animal will heal very well with high BM. So my thoughts would be...
With high skill points in BM & Expertise...
Signet of Midnight [E] (Blind self and foe)
Epidemic (Spread midnight)
Spirit of Failure - Replace with another attack, perhaps another BM skill like Call of Haste for added dmg per second and run down speed on your pet.
Ether Feast - I'd use Troll Unguent for healing yourself, more bang for the buck if you are spec'd for it. But to each his own.
Predators Pounce - Replace with Scavenger Strike (5-17 dmg +1-12 addition dmg on a foe with a condition, like the blind you just hit them with)
Comfort Animal (Keeps animal alive + Ressurect it)
Charm Animal
Ressurection Signet
Interesting build to go with all together, not sure how well it would work out, especially with a Protection monk on the enemies team to take out blind real quick. But, play around with it and let us know your success stories.

Ineptitude {Elite} - Hex Spell
For 4-9 seconds, if target foe attacks, that foe takes 10-68 damage and becomes Blinded, and Ineptitude ends.
its a great skill only 20 second recharge.. takes 10 energy, but if you want to do some illusion magic(great with your current build idea, you can use fevered dreams to spread it).

That only takes out one person. Sig+plague touch takes out two. The damage can be easily conjured by empathy and price. I fail to see how thats better. O yeah and sig is free

Edited for my personal misinterpretation....
However i will say this.. while ineptitude may require energy, it also only takes 1 second to cast.. not...3!!! and it causes damage. Your skill may be a sig but it also only targets one person, the damage here is just a nice side effect! Also take into account you must be running into melee range to smack someone with plague touch, and being able to hit em with this then use epidemic is better than sig+plague touch plus epidemic!

Warriors come to you... you dont need to come to them. The damage is nice, but as i said empathy and price will do more than enough, i just think thats overkill. And you dont actually need epidemic with sig+plague, thats the whole point.
