Did they change anything about the Kirrins btw? I seem to remember that invinci farming was possible there in the past with an IW build.

I just want to thank you Dopefish for the little UW run we (I should say you) did on saturday ! This build is amazing and, even if I still have some problem to stay alive, I like it !

NB: great Vid

What do you use to keep kinetic armor up?

And does SV last long enough for smites?

Awesome build btw

What would it matter Cherno? Elementalist have one of the most versatile farms now available to them today.

It's we Mesmer players that need some lovin.

well SV and AV do last long enough and even the 1 second that you are casting isn't enough for them to gain 5 energy. and for kinetic i guess just renew spells to keep it going.

Hello again.

I can now manage kinetic armor and SV, I tought it was the hardest but, I still have one big problem with ... nighmares :-(

- I lure the aatxes
- a nightmare pops
- I know the "tab" trick so I immediatly target him and cast ash blast
- nearly each time I'm interruped by an aatxe (Savage Slash)
- I die

Is there a way to kill nightmares without being interrupted ?

Thanks again

hm i never get interupted because you got to kill them before one aatxe reaches you anyway oO
hm you could try to use an interrupt....

Sorry D0pefish but I really don't see how you do that...
Can you explain me your technique when you lure the aatxe ?
I was also wondering if some more points in fast casting could help me (maybe a major rune ?)...

i lure them and let them come to me (don't walk toward them).
the aatxes have to get to you.... when you use ashblast now you should be ble to cast it at least 1/2 secs before they reach you, which will be fast enough. I'm working on a Video for the UW, because i've seen a lot of questions about that build ^^

Nice guide, hope this makes people bring their mesmers back into the game.

It would even be nicer if you took along a Candy cane Scythe with Enchanting mod :P.

Why are you all so interested in interrupting/killing the nightmares? I always replace ash blast, so that I have both SV and AV..
Then when a nightmare pops up I just run back and hide behind Benton(a ghost) and wand the nightmare to death..
So I don't see why you should take ash blast?

Another question D0pefish, what is your technique for the Grasping ?
Because, I can now clear all aatxes but I have a problem with grasping :-(
Do I have to lure only one group at a time ?...
They interrupt me each time (I tried 3 times yesterday...)

And thanks again ! Hope you'll have some time for the UW video so I'm not going to ask you again

so the graspings are very easy with the right rechnique....
attack them and wait until your char gets 3-4 (depends on the group) short knockdown animations. Then cast IW and kill them. If SV runs out w8 for the animations and recast.
If i'm fighting the group of 4 i just cast the enchantments once on me and kill them with IW. You'll only need to reenchant if you fight the group of 4.
