Normally only played Mesmer in PvP but I’m looking to branch out on the class and try it in PvE, what would be a viable build for this given how the traits and everything have shifted completely?
Definitely illusions as Fencer’s Finesse is excellent, similarly in domination of inspiration are good traits for hitting hard and sustainably.
Brilliant thank you, I’ll see if i can create a build focused around those.

Fencer’s Finesse is in the Dueling trait line, not Illusions. Domination, Dueling and Inspiration are probably going to end up being your go to picks for PvE Mesmer.
Domination Dueling and inspiration for power mesmer. However I’ve been messing with sinister and the chaos line instead of inspiration is really nice. I don’t think power mes will be meta anymore but we will see

Mantra of Restoration, Blink (in dungeons you’ll probably take Mantra of Concentration or Portal), Mantra of Pain, Signet of Inspiration, Timewarp

Probably not, but I can’t see dropping Inspiration while doing group PvE work. Having two more reflects and and Mender’s Purity for free…I just can’t let those go.
This one also seems worth trying:

Ran few dungeons last night tweaking my build and for power dps, those two traits allocations are exactly what I ended up with. Seems the patch pretty much killed off all those niche builds we had before and left us with simple 2 builds…
