@Downpopo: Yeah, that looks more similar to Skcamow’s Paladin Mesmer. It looks solid, but I’d probably drop the Mantra heals in favor of a traited focus. Mantra of Recovery alone isn’t really worth taking Restorative Mantras for and I think the added cooldown and reflect abilities on focus would serve you better.

… Normally I’d advise against taking a cooldown trait if you’re only taking one skill (Manipulations) but Chaos Minor traits are pretty lousy anyways, and I’d likely do the same for Blink alone.

I’ve actually been able to nab anywhere from 5 – 20 seconds of Protection from Veil alone.. and it really makes charging Mantras smooth with 6 secs of invisibility, so I actually would consier taking it with Prismatic Understanding.. but no, the trait itself does not buff your allies nor does it increase their stealth time, its purely for you.. and Signet of Inspiration (Only the Inspiration line has ally-affecting traits)

Ok. Thanks so much!

I have made a variation to the Chaos Maestro build to support my World vs. World team but still be able to do some damage to enemy clumps. Here is the build:

http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/mesmer/?4.3|6.1k.h6|c.1k.h6.d.1k.a2|1k.71i.1k.b1i.1k.71i.1g.71i.1g.71i.1g.b1i|1a.64.2v.d1b.1a.9a.2v.d1a.21l.d1b.1a.0|0.f2.u3ac.p3a.0|40.7|32.3b.3d.3m.3q|e

Would this variation be able to fulfill the supportive role the Chaos Maestro provides and deal a good amount of damage to support my team offensively as well? Thanks.

Good build – specs are similar to the paladin support mesmer in my signature, also trading bountiful interruption for prismatic understanding which is a popular choice due to the great defensive boons you can get from stealth. That said, you don’t have many stealth options in the build (only veil). So that might hamper your ability to really take advantage of PU.

The thing is, i don’t need to stealth with this build because i run with a group of people. Plus, I need to use Time Warp witch is apart of the support role i play in my guild. But thank you for the reply!

In your build you are using prismatic understanding, which only is useful when you can stealth often. Are you saying you get your stealth (and use of this trait) mainly from your group?

Yes. Since I am one of the 2 mesmers in my guild i need to play multiple roles. While i play some roles another mesmer plays others.

Wait, with charismatic understanding only apply to me or does it apply to allies around me too, and the same with the boons.
