Sounds a great Build Avarre, we'll steal it and test it next time

As for the changing armour sets, and being enchanted...when the photo was taken, i was wearing collectors top (male), and had just cast Prot Spirit on myself :P, then i changed to my FoW top after the picture was taken

Few more pictures:

I had alot more, but they didnt seem to come out well

You can 3-man the whole UW with 3 Memsers if you'd like, it's just quite slow, but possible

Veneficus · Apr 03, 2006, 02:18 PM // 14:18

Probably using a 55hp build

Interesting build Avarre, but what about bonettis? Bonettis might be needed to keep your energy up, with all the loss from casting distortion over and over, plus the -1 per hit. Just a thought

Avarre · Apr 03, 2006, 03:56 PM // 15:56

I didn't have much trouble (besides the 200 damage hits) when I tried soloing, using this order :

Ineptitude, shield stance, wanding... 2x ripostes, ineptitude, defensive stance, wanding... 2x ripostes, repeat.

crimson carapace stance shield, collector customized max illusion wand (20% illu recharge), collector stance sword.

The purpose of distortion was mainly if i got hit during def stance, and needed to use healing signet (which cancels it), I could use that as a buffer evade stance. Since shield stance was buffed, both last more than long enough to maintain such a cycle indefinitely. However while soloing, you... er... die in 2 hits... which means there is a low but noticeable chance of dying without a chance. I prefer to avoid bonetti's because of the adren cost and the weakness of mesmers - just after you fire 2x ripostes, you're down 1 adren from what you were before, so there's a high chance of dying while wanding for that last strike.

Of course, with a bonder using 2x bonds, damage would be reduced to around... 60-70. Not a concern from aatxes.

Calling BS on that till I have proof... it took 7 hours and was painfully difficult for Sno/Jerry/Gwen to 3man it using 55monk + backup SB + SS necro. With 3 primary mesmers you wouldn't last on the chaos planes, regardless of 55 or fullhp, or be able to survive Feasts of Corruption from dead threshers.

Tip for veneficus : I'd drop eDrain and ether tap for Mantra of Recall and Inspired Hex. I play healer mesmer for friends occasionally, and I found those usually hold my energy in good levels continuously, as well as giving you some hex removal.

I see lots of familiar names in that screenie

Looks more impressive then the 8-mesmer fissure team

Nice work

Nice as always Shan, I would have loved to join but real life chores prevented that.

Anyway Mesmers are FTW

GJ everyone

BlackRecluse · Apr 03, 2006, 06:39 PM // 18:39

im on european servers, im still up for it

Leijah · Apr 04, 2006, 05:26 AM // 05:26

Was great I must say. As easy as with some balanced guild group. I'm absolutely in when we are going next time.
While in UW we noticed that some builds might need some minor changes, but now that we know better what skills we need, next trip will be even more easier. This trip supposed to be just experimental anyways... It just kinda got out of hands (and the build worked a lot better than we had expected)

We had also one illusion mesmer with us. I dont know if she used any secondary skills, but her secondary was necromancer...
(Shan! How could you forget Lij from that list?!)
