I adapted this from an earlier signet mesmer hero post. The purpose is to check if an artificer mesmer hero is more viable now with the mesmer buffs.

Using the new Symbolic Celerity, you can group signets from different attribute lines together so you have strong interrupts and damage at the same time.

Here is a 6-signet build.

Me/Mo
fast casting 12+1+3, inspiration 12+1

Mantra of Signets or Mantra of Inscription (for faster signet recharge more damage but lower armor)
Signet of Distraction or Signet of Disruption (for single target damage)
Keystone Signet
Bane Signet or Symbolic Strike (going as a Me/W)
Unnatural Signet
Signet of Clumsiness
Signet of Weariness
Symbolic Celerity

Wield a Shield, for more armor, with +30hp and Run for your Life inscription since you dont need that much energy. This gives a total of 78AL (from armor) + 8 (from shield) + 18 (from MoS) = 104 AL and you get the +30hp and -2 damage reduction from the shield too. Plus you get the 53hp gain each time you use a signet from MoS.

One obvious weakness of the build would be having the Symbolic Celerity enchant stripped but at least it recharges in about 15s with 16 FC.

EDIT: Probably works even better with Quickening Zephyr.

Cool! I'll act that as a variant.
