Like the title says what mods do you need to make a caster shield for a mesmer like inscription wise and shield handles?

For inscriptions you would want the +10 armour against a damage type inscription and maybe a +30 handle. You should have a set in your inventory with +10 armour against each damage type

iirc

Inscription is either +10AL vs. <damage type> (you'll want a few to cover various damage types*) or if you want something less effective but generic you can go for -5/20%.

*If you're going to PvP, you'll want all of them. In PvE you can just go for the main/common threats such as fire.

Handle is probably +30health or something like that.

what should i do about energy then

You should weapon swap to casting set if having energy problems. However, you should have some sort of e-management in your build and you shouldn't spam. Think about this, many monks have the same or less energy as a mesmer and can still effectively keep up an entire team (good ones that is).

ok what e manegment skills would you suggest for a mesmer

pinkeyflower · Jul 12, 2010, 11:24 PM // 23:24

Depends on where you're playing but stuff from the inspiration magic line such as drain enchantment, waste not want not, power drain. If you're not taking a lot of damage switch to casting set and if you are switch to shield.
