Hybrid/bunker Mesmer
I find that unless you’re on spirit watch, bunker/support builds are worse than most alternatives. While they perform well in theory, they necessarily rely on your team not being idiots, and that’s not an assumption you can make.
Good solo queue builds are ones that can be used to work games into an unbalanced position for your team. Bunker/support builds are used to make your team win an even fight, and you can rely on having even fights or a team that can win them.
I find the portal and bunker mesmer very useful for defend a base/s and my team can attack last point or zerg … Other bunker classes can’t defend a point and same time attack or support the team in other location… i don’t think you can compare with other build, because other build of mesmer have different roles.
I hope i have understand what you write…
