End of list

Nice list, was about time, someone wrote up all the guides. Thank you.
I’d rather place my build to the list of Shatter Builds though, as it is not too much about conditions besides bleeding from Sharper Images and more about shattering all your illusions.

Edit: Thank you, just a little typo left, it’s Lazy Kai… ^^

I agree that’s why I figured I’d do it since I visit these forums so much anyway so I can update frequently I added you to shatter builds.

Edit: Sorry about the typo Fixed that as well.

Ah I got that when I tried to copy & paste the link into a new tab but if you click the link it should send you directly to the build, at least it does for me.

Thank you for fixing the typo. Now I just have to hope that I won’t have to completely rewrite the guide after tomorrows patch…

Haha, Same here! I’m expecting another giant nerf hammer on mesmer. I think I’ll actually drop dead in shock if they actually gave us some decent buffs. -cough- Buff mantras please! -cough-

Aaah of course, Why didn’t I think of that! Yea, I use google chrome Didn’t consider it could be a browser issue. And you’re welcome

By the way Fay, the link in your signature to your guide is broken, you might want to fix that. ^^
It’s because it includes your guide and the compilation link.

You should become a DEV and start fixing all those broken traits…

now the guide link works, ty for your work

Haha! Trust me, I would love to be allowed to test Mesmer related things before they go live and point out the areas that need most attention if I could (Or any other part of the game for that matter) but Anet doesn’t have that kind of out of the company kind of testing set up yet (I don’t think!) or I’d be first in line to sign up The mesmer profession needs some love after all those nerfs!

Cassiel.9431:

Just trying to help everyone find information easier Being a new mesmer especially is daunting and the Mesmer forum is very confusing unless you’ve been a mesmer for a while.

Thank you for doing this! I really don’t enjoy making builds, and prefer starting with something that’s tried and true and tweaking it to suit me. This thread will help a lot.

Fantastic job Fay! This is exactly what we needed. Lets get this stickied ASAP!

Thx Fay for the Listing. Guess i must tidy up my Guide then. Hehehe

I’ll have to update my Healing Bunker build walkthrough for the current state of the mesmer, I’ll make a fresh thread and link when I get around to that

Looking forward to to seeing it Comet

One thing I intend on adding to the list once the patch hits is that I will put a * In front of all builds that were prior the patch until they are updated (unless there are no mesmer changes but lets face it there will no doubt be a 5 page nerf list).

So people can easily see which builds are up-to-date and which builds might not be accurate anymore and should be approached with that in mind. It should safe people time figuring out which builds are still viable or that might not work as intended and hopefully get you theorycrafters to update all your builds and topics to at least say it’s up-to-date

Highlighting the up-to-date guides is a good idea, just give us some days to adapt to the changes.
If shatter builds take a hit, at least for my guide, there will be alot of playtesting ahead…

@Fay, good list, wery needed and helpfull for new and old mesmers. Small detail and sorry for be picky but the " Shatter Cat" guide is not only 10-30-0-0-30 its 4 different builds for wvwvw and pve so a more accuarte description would be : “4 builds for WvWvW and PvE”, or something simmilar.

/Osicat

Hey Osicat, I decided to just list the original Shatter Cat for the sake of keeping the list simple but I edited the description to explain there are variations.

I’ve also decided to remove the description of whether its a guide or simple post in favour of adding the builds gametypes and if needed an additional note of interest as I feel people would probably prefer that.

I will be going through each build to check what gametype they are used for and will update the list accordingly.

Edit: Also if anyone wants me to list additional gametypes for a build let me know

@Fay, looks nice, cheers mate.

Opacus, this is a thread dedicated to listing and organizing other builds. Your questions are specific to the shattercat build type, so your question should have been asked in that thread, not this one.

To Osi, please don’t respond to this guy, other than to direct him to the appropriate thread. The last thing I want to see is this thread getting hijacked for another purpose.

@ Pyroatheist,

Thx for pointing on it, was on the wrong thread

Thanks for responding this quickly, much appreciated.

Thank you! This helps me tremendously….I was about to start researching builds to decide where to spend trait points. This is a big help!

Glad the list is of help, Looks like us Mesmers came out alright with the new patch so there is no need for me to add the out-of-date star * in front of the current builds. They should still work pretty well as it stands.

Yeah, nothing of matter changed (officially) for my build, and I couldn’t find any stealth nerfs yet.
Was worried about the patch, after I added a complete leveling guide to my thread yesterday, but kitten, I was bored… ^^

Stealth change, underwater was massively buffed, adding bleeds to the trident autoattack.

Words can not express how little I care about underwater combat in its current state in this game… ^^

This should be stickied and take off osticat’s one so no matter what build you are looking for, you won’t have to search for it.

Missing FLIMP’s build.

And underwater Trident wasn’t buffed, it was nerfed. There’s even a thread that’s titled “Underwater Nerf/Change”

I know what the thread is called, but having the name nerf/change doesn’t make the change any less of a buff. It took a useless weapon with horrible damage, and wimpy boon stacking and turned it into a potent condition damage weapon capable of stacking a condition that isn’t nearly useless.

Read the actual content of the thread before you talk any more nonsense. You’re making yourself look like a fool.

Maybe you should actually read the content of the thread before you talk nonsense because despite the title of the thread the majority of the posters in there think the changes were good lmao

Don’t bother, look at his post history. There’s a reason I didn’t respond to him.

Full of kitten mesmers here.

I do around 320 dmg per stack of confusion and only about 115 dmg per tick with bleed. If 3 clones + me are putting minimum 8 stacks of bleed per tick I would still be doing less damage than 3 clones putting 3 stacks of confusion doing 9kittenage per skill use. Considering how I easily used to get over 10 stacks of confusion with 2 clones and a phantasm, I would say that’s a pretty huge kittening nerf to get a measly 2 stacks of bleeding that doesn’t last as long either. All the posts that claim it to be a buff are noobs that have never used a mesmer underwater before, including the two of you. The facts aren’t even debatable because it’s so kittening obvious. If you’ve never used a mesmer underwater before, I suggest you both STFU.

Oh and edit: the trident that we had before was a “bugged” BWE version that the devs never really fixed. The confusion was only removed from the mesmer and not the clones and no proper balancing was done until now. It finally got the nerf it deserved and you idiots think it’s actually a buff. LOL

@ExZee, how interesting the matter of trident may be this is littering the thread. Fay done a nice work in gather different builds and a good place for new players to find guides. Respect this and let this be a calm place for ppl to find guides and the comments/discussions be reguarding the quality of different guides.

Same go for rest of the ppl posting in this thread, we dont want to force a admin/mod to clean the thread.

/Osicat

I’ve added some recent builds and I’ve already had to split up the post because of character limit. When I reach the 3 post limit I might have to start being more picky about which builds should be listed unless Anet can allow additional characters to be used and/or an extra post added for additional space.

Also, Thanks Osicat for the above response. As Osicat said, Please keep this topic for discussion of the build list, To request builds being added, Point out things that need to be fixed etc. You can talk about the individual builds in their topics.

I’ve added the Mesmer Meetup links to the list for both EU and US since I think it’s a great opportunity for people to meet and talk/share information on Mesmers. There’s links to the livestream I did during the event when we did an all mesmer dungeon on my build thread for those interested: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/mesmer/Videos-Guide-Panacea-Mantra-Build-PvX/
