Mesmer high survivability solo PVE build?
I’ve farmed and gathered and story quested Orr with a variety of builds and they’ve all worked fine. I think that most builds will work for pve it all depends on play style and gear. What type gear are you using and what weapons do you prefer? You like shattering?

there is a thread here titled something-“immortal mesmer” that i think is really good, i run similar mesmer and except orr, i can run around solo pve map without much trouble, even fighting the champ
With deceptive evasion, illusionary persona and zerker leveling gear you can easily survive all of your personal story and take on multiple vets and even solo some champion mobs.
Toughness and vitality are really not that important for mesmer survival.
When I was leveling with my Mesmer to 80 I used a Phantasm Build. I had no problems getting to 80 or taking on multiple mobs at a time.
If you’re having difficulty, you can alter your gear and build. It shouldn’t be necessary but it might make things easier until you get the hang of fighting those mobs.
Get 30 points in Inspiration for Restorative Illusions, 30 in Illusions for Illusionary Persona. . Phantasms will be giving you regeneration, so when they are up they help you survive, and if you have to shatter, it will heal you. You can shatter even with no illusions out if need be. Signet of Illusions makes your phantasms tougher (though it is still bugged), and lets you reset all your shatters in case you need more heals.
If you still die a lot, toughness, then healing power, then vitality will help with that.
The thing to watch for with Orr is adds – monsters move around more and respawn faster, so if you compromise your damage too much for survival, you’ll kill too slow and eventually get overwhelmed any ways.
I’ve never touched the Inspiration line much; how much does Restorative Illusions actually help? What kind of healing does it do?
