Which is better to PvP?

Fast Casting + Illusion + Fire
Fast Casting + Domination + Fire

With Elementalist as my secondary i went into Fire

those are the two that i am interested in, but am willing to listen to other people's ideas on which is better...

if anything:

Fastcast, Domination, Air. Fire is aoe damage and lightning is Single Target, in PvP you're gonna want Single Target, Fire is best for PvE though.

Illusion mostly shuts down Melee's, which shouldn't be your main focus, Domination gives you a chance to truly shine by messing up a casters day

If you go air the blind would support up with shutting down melees. Like kalaris said, fire isn't a very good PVP attribute since alot are aoe (Easy to just walk out of) and take a long casting time (easily interrupted). If you want to go domination you can try either hex spammer or energy killer.

Hex spammer - Backfire/empathy/Diversion/Guilt, etc...
Energy Killer - Energy Burn/Mind Wrack/Shame, etc....

I am a fast casting domination mesmer-necro. Since all my stifle spells are Domination, thats what I use. I have alot of points in fast cast and a few in curse but I am mainly a Stifle :shutdown: build for HoH PvP - and thats pretty much Dom.

For example until you get 10 or so points in Dom - backfire is just a nusance. After that it starts to become a really dangerous spell for casters.

I'm doing Fast Cast,Dom, and Fire...and I'm routinely getting my tail handed to me on a platter.
