Mesmer AoE spells? - Guild Wars Forums

eddycurrents · Sep 20, 2005, 10:07 PM // 22:07

What can a mesmer do for AoE? All I can find is chaos storm, which has a very small area, and shatter hex, which obviously needs a hex in order to do anything.

And for shatter hex... is there a way to tell if an ally is hexed? Most conditions have little graphics but I haven't seen (or noticed) one for hexes.

What I'm thinking is a R/Me with a pet. Let the pet tank then use AoE skills to soften the mobs around it. Surely you should be able to tell if your own pet has a hex??

Hexes are evident when the health bar turns bright pink (as opposed to pale pink, which indicates bleeding).

Domination AoE can be found from:
Chaos Storm
Cry of Frustration
Energy Surge {E}
Panic {E}
Shatter Hex
Signet of Weariness

Illusion AoE effects can be found from:
Fevered Dreams {E}
Soothing Images (Thanks Zenny, I hadn't realized it had been updated)
Sympathetic Visage

Inspiration AoE can be found from:
Channeling

Memers also have one general AoE:
Epidemic

Good luck with your Me/Ra. I think you'll have a lot of fun with it.

You forgot 'Soothing Images'.

Thanks... I should have been more specific. I meant AoE damage. Sounds like not much... but that's ok. Chaos storm, fire arrows, shatter hex, epidemic... not bad.

Well I use in PvE (level 14 now)

a Mesmer/Necro

In the beginning of PvE you can obtain disease (death magic) and then use Epedemic right after. All those spiders, scarab, mantle whatever...all will have disease on them...which is not bad.

Then just go with what the other guys says.

Only hexes that cause health degeneration turn the health bar bright pink. (It's kind of a purplish pink, if you ask me, but whatever.) Hexes in general can be detected by the pink downward-pointing arrow at the rightmost end of the health bar. (Just like conditions are indicated by a grey down-arrow, and enchantments by a yellow up-arrow.)
