Hey guys,
So I see these threads all the time and people typically just link to the “Build Guides” thread. I’m looking for some specific feedback on this one though, not to just browse through guides.
I have over 500 hours on my Mesmer. A while back I got sort of bored with it, so rolled an Elementalist. I recently hit 80 on my Ele, and in typical Eucalyptus fashion, thought “Hey, maybe my Mesmer would be fun again?”. So with that, I’m trying to find a way to play it that’s fun, after coming from the quick paced Elementalist.
I like Greatsword. I’ll start there. I don’t however like standing and auto-attacking. Which to me, seems sort of counter intuitive to using the Greatsword. I don’t really have a preference for a weapon swap, but typically like either Staff or Sword/X.
What I’m looking for is a good solid Hybrid build, that does good burst damage for PvE/WvW/Dungeons. I don’t care, literally at all, about sPvP. I want to be able to run dungeons, of relatively high difficulty, and also roam (usually with a fairly large group) in WvW and feel useful in terms of AoE damage still.
I can’t really decide whether I like Crit/Bleed, or Condition (confusion) better, but I know that Confusion is pretty meh for PvE, so am probably leaning towards a Zerker type build.
Having not played my Mes for a few months – any builds that reflect my playstyle and can keep me moving/doing things? What are the mandatory traits and how would you gear for something like this? (Rabid?)
Cheers.
Euca
