80 Mesmer – Liara Tree Soni – Eternity
Sea of Sorrows
I’m loving this build.
It has good single target damage and has enough AoE to take out a pack of pocket raptors pretty quickly.
With fresh air you get your air overload a lot more often than you normally would. So, do your normal fresh air ele stuff, then add that sweet overload in there, maybe a nice little glyph of storms in air as well. All that vuln =).
Give me advice, or don’t. I like the build and I’m not a crazy-eliteist-world-record-setter-kinda-guy. I just want to voice how I am making the best of the new spec. =)
Only feedback I would give is that Tempest Defense is potentially a lot more valuable with the break bar mechanics than Inscription.
I don’t really understand running this with scepter though over dagger. You are seriously gimping yourself on your damage potential in lightning while you wait for your overloads to charge and the frequency in which you will use them with fresh air procs means you will have to constantly be within melee range anyways.
Inscription is never worth it. Use Tempest defense or Aeromancer’s Training. You do not have many auras consider using lucid singularity instead of elemental bastion. Since you are using a scepter you can get around not having that many survival utilities/traits. I am use to being in melee so I can not go without a skill/utility that will help me survive when getting hit.
Been running a Fresh Air Tempest build with D/WH and Water for aura share, works well enough for PvE. I tried S/D builds and wasn’t keen on it, so I’d suggest giving D/X a try.
