MoR with shielding hands works nice. (hes 55 of course) you can also keep up a constant Balthazar's aura, does it still scatter aggro?

Well, mesmers aint supposed to be solo farmers. Still they can do 3man SF.
They suck alone since theyre armour is low and they have no selfheal, except if they play 55hp etc. I suggest all mesmers go and find a farming partner and trys it that way,since... okay, it works soloing UW but why not just take a elementalist? Well, ill try to come up with a 3man forgemaster build with mesmer included... Actually, Signet of Illusions could work...

armor is low, they're at 60 AL same as all casters right? It's not that they have no self heal, heck nec builds are usually 55's other than those sweet meleemancers using blood magic. Ele's self heal is AoR and or glyph of restoration (150 heal with both on). All your reasons for mesmers not being great farmers are wrong. They just dont have a viable and versatile dmg farming skill. IW is nice, but even with scythe it takes a while. Ineptitude looks like a great skill against melee or ranged monsters, maybe even casters if you can tank their spells. Havne't looked into the NF skills but I dont see anything like SoJ, SS, Spoil Victor, and Silver armor for mob rapage. FC is a great att, lvling my mes up to try out some builds i've thought up. My point: the above post is all wrong

Oh yeah and @Hyprodimus Prime, yes balthazar's aura still causes scatter.

A shame they killed the Maatu Keep farm, that was my primary source of income and XP on my mes.

a week or two ago dont remember. they added dragon mosses, so not only melee type anymore. was working on a solo build with inept, but found out that it only dmgs for one attack, not for the 10 sec duration it might last. back to IW, terra tanking, and VwK i guess.

Do you do all 3 of those on your messy? The VwK sounds interesting, could you (or someone else ) give me some info on that?

i think it is the same build as the ritualist vwk build but for mesmer i think it is:

14 illusion
9 inspriation
12 restoration

Physical resist
arcane echo
vwk
vengeful weapon
channeling
av
sv
soothing memories

enjoy

Any areas in particular where this would come in handy?
