Hello Mesmer-goers!
May I present The Charmander(Flareway) build!

Profession: Mesmer/Elementalist

Name: Chris_nin00's Charmander(Flareway) build

Type: General PvP

Category: Damage Over Time
Attributes:
Fast Casting: 10+4+1
Inspiration Magic: 8+1
Fire Magic: 12


Skills Set:
Channeling
Fire Attunement
Elemental Attunement
Mark of Rodgort
Flare
Drain Enchantment/Energy Tap/Hex Breaker
Ether feast/Fireball/
Res Sig

Summary:This build is spams Flare with Mark of Rodgort Hex, which therefore is damage over time. This build puts the chosen target on fire and in a sort of skirmish.
To start off, use Channeling, fire attunement, and Elemental attunement in the given order. Then choose a target to attack. Use Mark of Rodgort on the target. Then, spam flare.
Use Ether Feast to heal yourself; Drain Enchantment to kill a disturbing spell or get some energy; Res Sig when someone is dead.

Notes & Concerns: This build is very fun to play! There are some warnings though.
Pros:
-40 damage per second plus target set on fire.
-Easy to set up
-Fun to play
Cons:
-Enchantment Renderers will eat you alive.

Remember that this build is for fun purposes only. Not for serious PvP. Unless you are into that kind of stuff.

Just curious, but wasn't it shown that an elementalist with conjure flame, a fire wand, and tiger's fury did more damage than flareway?

Also, you'll want to use the enchantments in the order elem. attun., fire attun., then channeling, so that channeling covers the others.

Might I suggest fireball instead of ether feast? You can get a bit more damage from it, and just cast it when it recharges. With 16 fast casting, it should go off fairly quick.

All in all a sort of weak build, you can be countered by something as simple as Healing Breeze, or hex removal.

lol chris, why didnt you call it the charmander build?
other than that seems fun to play, especially since all people in pvp despise mesmers for enemies, channeling ftw!

I don't think any spell can 'cover' it.
Any Ideas?

I should've named it Charmander, thanks for the name I.F. I'll change it now!

An example is conjure phantasm. If you put mark of rodgort on a target, then conjure phantasm, conjure works like a cover, preventing mark from getting removed easily (and thus making you deal more damage)

Stoneway is fun too. The sound the little daggers make as they're flying out gets kinda annoying though.

This build was made for fun and the thrill of setting someone on fire .

This build is the basis of Flareway. It's Your job to build off it.

Wouldn't an elementalist have better luck with energy storage? Flare's such a fast cast, 16 in FC isn't worth it. You'd get more bang as an E/me. You could even use Elm runes for Fire to makes this build almost as good as someone wanding someone!

<snip> let's not start flaming -Red Locust

Have you never heard of doing something for fun, or because you can? So what if there are better ways of doing it with a different class. It doesnt matter. If it can be done, do it just to try it. Why do you have to constantly talk down about shit like this?

Back on topic: You ever try Mantra of Flame to go head to head with a Fire Elem a little easier, and gain Energy from the battle?

And me forgetting all about the attuments for some reason and telling peeps to bring E-drain instead did not really help. N00bs like me should not be allowed into GW at all.

flareway/stoneway is actually a lot better than you guys gve it credit for.
my first time ever running this build in TA with some peeps i got 11 consecutive and half of my group had no idea what they were doing.
i use meteor in my flareway though because its a good spell thats useful for stopping runners and, if timed right, spell interruption.
good build though, people should post their stoneway builds too as im curious as to what other people are using.
if anyone is ever looking for a flare/stonewayer contact me ingame, i can never find people to do it with but i really want to.

i believe i'm the first one to do "spamway", i began the build way before you even posted this or seen any of the type of builds around.

hey chris, I love it! haven't even tried it yet but I love it. I also love all the heat you took over doing something for fun

FYI for anyone who cares -- if you create something tell someone or someone else will create something similar and take credit for it. It has happened all through history and it will happen again. Try to tell the US paten office that you were the one who created the...anything that is patented. They'll laugh in your face.

I have created a build only to find that someone else has already done one almost exactly like it...we are using a limited skill pool, of course ppl will make stuff that is similar. It doesn't mean they stole it (although that happens somethimes too).

1. Stop the immature flaming.
2. Yes it IS an existing build, but has it been posted before? (if yes, who CARES!)
3. He found something he thought was fun, and wanted many to have just as much fun. He shouldnt have to defend that fact.
4. You dont like his build, then dont use it. Dont flame, dont say a thing.
5. Think he "stole" the build, provide the proof rather than immature squabbling, then again refer to the paranthesis at the end of point #2.



Forum trolls will always exist, flamers, congrats on establishing that fact!!

That was his original build idea for it...He has vamped it up considerably since then and it works pretty well.

I happen to be a friend of wretches but what he does with flaming is his own thing, but theres the proof for all you anyway. What I might have suggested was do a search for this type of build before starting a new thread about it.

But yea its own TA (but rangers can screw you over sometimes)

*And as for stone way my advice would be not use it at all. Stone daggers has a greater chance of missing and each one doesnt do as much damage as one flare. I encountered a stoneway guy before, all i had to do was run around in a circle and barely any hit me. then once his elemental and earth attunement went down i got in for the kill.
