Guild Wars 2

I recently got my Mesmer alt up to level 35, and have been running a few AC exp paths with a (very) basic shatter build. After a couple of runs, I started thinking about what builds are viable to fulfill different roles with the Mesmer.

I’ve seen a couple posted in these forums:

Shatter dps: I’m currently running a very basic framework of the Shatter Cat build. IMO, this type of build brings very good single target dps with some minimal support (e.g. Chaos Storm)

Mantra Healing: I’ve also read about some mantra healing builds that focus on ranged dps while providing AoE heals. An interesting support role, though it would appear to lack application of supportl boons (e.g. Protection).

What other builds or roles can the Mesmer fill in dungeons?

There is also a Phantasm Build.
Basically you just get your phantasms up and then you can do whatever you want.
Oh and when the foe is about to die, F1 it to death.
You can be supportive with Phantasm Builds, since the only utility skill required to take is Signet of Illusions, so that the Phantasms won’t be so glassy. So now you have 2 utility slots free to use how ever you want (Feedback, Illusion of Life, Nullfield…).

Plus, phantasms can give regeneration.
