I know this is a really, really broad question, but I was just wondering about the class, cuz i’ve only played it once, gave up, went on to warrior…

I’ve seen some mesmers who can really bring their A-game and some who are still learning the ropes
I might be looking into making a dedicated mesmer sometime in the future and would like some info from any one on what to aim for. (yeah, it’s all build dependent and stuff)

I know that mesmers can apply brutal amounts of vulnerability and confusion and are typically known for outstanding shatter-builds/burst builds etc.

What I want to know, is it worth it to put the points into Harmonious Mantras, Restorative Illusions, Mantra Mastery and Restorative mantras for a healing-burst spec?

Also, I bet a lot of mesmers use Signet Mastery with Signet of Illusions and Illusionary Invigoration, which must be insanely beautiful at times XD

Say i’d want to make a pve mesmer who kinda does a bit of everything, but mainly specializes in shatter/condi stack. What build should i use for that and how many clones/illusions can I have up at the same time? I’ve seen about 10+ clones and illusions from 1 mesmer burst.

oh and btw, is there really any difference between Clones, Illusions, and Phantasms aside from appearance? would illusionary defense and compounding power only affect you depending on your active illusions? not clones or phantasms?

Illusions refers to both Phantasms and Clones. So yes Compounding Power will affect both. Thing that say either phantasms or clones with not affect the other.
