Default Mesmer/Elementalist build for pvp

Hi, I'm new here so if this is in the wrong section, I apologize. I was just wondering if this is a decent build for pvp. If you have any suggestions, please suggest them for Prophecies since I don't have the other two chapters.

Fast Casting 11+1+3
Fire Magic 12
Inspiration magic 6+1

Skills:
Fireball
Immolate
Inspired Hex
Meteor Shower
Rodgort's Invocation
Fire attunement
Echo
Res signet

p.s- new to this game so additional info would help

I think it may be in the wrong section because you are asking about a general pvp build. and you asked about a prophecies only build in the alliance battle section (factions).

You seem like you want to play an elementalist, so you may want to go E/Me instead. Fast casting can pretty much be worked around by using a 40/40 set on an elementalist.

Anyways, for prophecies only you may want to go with something like this,

[skill]Fire Attunement[/skill][skill]Elemental Attunement[/skill][skill]Rodgorts Invocation[/skill][skill]Immolate[/skill][skill]Searing Heat[/skill][skill]Blinding Flash[/skill][skill]Glyph Of Lesser Energy[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

Should be able to do some good damage, has some utility with blinding flash, and res sig is always good. You'll Have more than enough energy with this build. Rodgorts does a lot of damage and immolate is good for keeping pressure up. Searing for some aoe (good at cleaning up spirits in places such as RA and HA)

Skills like [skill]Meteor Shower[/skill] are expensive and have a long cast which isn't very good in pvp.

Hope this helps.

PVP hates sup runes, because the extra damage/casting time reduction/minion amount/whatever isn't worth 75 health. Oh and nuking is kinda bad.

Notice how it's AB? [Meteor shower] is vital if you're solo capping, last time i checked anyways.

^that. And to answer OP

...depends on type of PvP you wish to play. I suggest you'd check out the Random Arena/Team Arena sections first.

I think you should think about getting the other 2 chapters as you would be in a kinda disadvantage. My opinion.

If this is supposed to be for the Random Arenas, then the place to post it is the RA thread:

If this is supposed to be for somewhere else, check this post:

try this on for size. for AB only :P
clears shrines like a champ. not so much on 1v1. get a good healer, a melee, and a good 1v1 char with you on your team, and you can pwn.

that can be put in place of flare, but the only prob with that you won't really be able to finish off anyone from afar.

seeing as the build above my post contains both faction and NF skills I doubt this matters.
While this may not be relevant for the OP someone else might find this thread useful.
