Profession: Mesmer/Necro
Name: Pain in the ***
Type: PvP Team Arena/Random Arena
Category: Multi-target shutdown/hindrance
Attributes:
Domination: 12+1+3
Fast Cast : 12+1
Illusion: the rest +1

Skill Set:

1) Signet of Midnight {Elite} (unlinked)
2) Plague Touch (unlinked)
3) Phantom Pain (Illusion)
4) Shatter Delusions (Domination)
5) Blackout (Domination)
6) Backfire (Domination)
7) Wastrels Worry (Domination)
8) Res Signet (unlinked)

Summary:

This build is intended to harrass multiple targets. Wastrel's Worry is first used primarily on a Warrior as they head towards you (can usually trigger 2-3 of them before they get to you)
Once warrior(s) have closed within range, blind one with Signet of Midnight, and then Plague Touch if there's another.
Target a caster and throw on Backfire then spam Wastrel's for damage while they're under Backfire. If they cast when under Backfire then use Phantom Pain->Shatter Delusions and they should be close to death. Wand hits or more Wastrels should finish them off.
Reapply the blind from Signet of Midnight & Plague Touch as soon as it's recharged.
Blackout is used primarily for monks. Wait until the spiker on your team is ready then use Wastrels->Blackout on target monk.
If there are two monks, use backfire on the second one to delay/discourage healing attempts.

Notes & Concerns:
Good condition removal by the opposing team is a big weakness in this build. Backfire & Blackout help when used on the condition remover.

Phantom Pain->Shatter Delusions is a great finisher combo which will usually kill targets who are at 25% - 30% life.

With some small modifications (reduce fast casting to around 7 and invest in inspiration, then replace blackout with Ether Feast) the build is very effective in Random Arena's too.

As we now have an RA builds thread and section dedicated to TA/HA/GvG builds, it doesn't make sense to have this thread anymore, especially since builds are taken in the context of a team. Closed for the time being.
