Curse

First of all i want to clear out that this is my first guide, this might not be faster than other builds but it is something at least its something different and fun.

The Build.

11+1 Fastcasting.
6+1 Inspiration.
12+3+1 Illusion.

Equipment.
Any max armor with +3+1 illusion will do.
Any enchantments last longer Sword/Axe/Sprear will do.
Any shield with -2 dmg. while enchanted/in stance will do.

Usage.

1. Preperations

Oke we start off with paying 1k to the voice of grenth. After we have loaded UW cast SoI, use mantra of earth and stone striker. Now we cast Flame Djin's Haste and SoI again. Run up to the Aatxe's and run back. This will make any Nightmares pop up. Do this on the left side, the right side and in the middle before taking the Quest. If any Nightmares have popped up kill them with Rodgorts. Now all the Nightmares are dead Cast SoI and Flame Djin's again and take the quest.

2. Graspings.
Now cast SoI again( yes again -.-) and use Mantra of Earth, Stone striker, Stoneflesh Aura and Flame Djin's.

Aggro the nearest group of Graspings and pull them to the altar. Make sure no Aatxe's follow you. wait untill they have wasted their interupts then cast Ancestor's Visage or its Proph counterpart. Cast SoI again and renew your earth enchantments. Now its time to start killing them with your fire spells. Keep the visage chain up and keep up your earth enchantments. Don't use the fire spells too fast after each other or they might scatter. Kill all the Graspings with this.

3. The Run.
Now you have to run to the Smites beach. This can be very frustating since you can get bodyblocked and then killed by Aatxe's if you dont watch out. Try to keep up mantra of earth and stone striker while running to reduce damage when you get hit. Run to a safespot and wait untill Flame Djin's haste recharges. Make sure you wait untill the other group of grasps is gone here.

Now run the last part, it should'nt be that hard.

4. The Smite's.
Killing Smite's is very easy, just keep up the enchantments and spam your dmg. dealing spells. Just be carefull not to aggro Coldfire's you cant kill them( WaH ftl. ) and watch out for Nightmares popping. A very handy safe-spot is this one.

Kill all the Smites and you should get 2 ectos per run.

Counters
Not casting SoI.
Getting interupted.
Bad timing.
Beein a retard.
Getting stripped.
Aggro'ing Coldfires.

Note's
Adding more screens after later

.

Thanks for reading.

I do not have a mesmer, but I like it. You don't see that the Elite Signet is used very often. Good job so far

Bo Fairfield · Apr 14, 2008, 06:17 PM // 18:17

nice original build, but seems like yet another E/Me build that you slapped SoI into and called a Me/E.
Off Topic: I didn't know about that safe spot in the last photo; I always just went up to the statue. That's a good one, thanks

niek2004 · Apr 14, 2008, 06:28 PM // 18:28

yes it does seem like another el/me build but its really different, altho it feels like that for me.

Mr.Kotte · Apr 14, 2008, 07:09 PM // 19:09

What the hell is this? Loads of new mesmer builds seem to come out now when I deleted mine.

so then why did you only say
11+1 Fastcasting.
6+1 Inspiration.
12+3+1 Illusion.

blurmedia · Apr 15, 2008, 08:10 AM // 08:10

...Because SoI makes all your attributes the same as your Illusion attribute.

there isnt much difference, anyway, the quicker u kill the mobs the more runs u can do in a shorter space of time leading to (supposedly) a higher numbver of drops per hour because ur killing more quicker. correct me if im wrong :P
