1. Introduction
As some of you might already know, Mesmer is my favourite Char. I was hurt by the fact that every Char (Monk, Ritu, Necro) seems to have a great HM Farming Thread. This Guide isn't really meant to proof that mesmers can do sick solo Jobs (if you prefer that check out my Full Tyria Solo Tour - Mesmer Guide). It's for fast money mainly. That's what most Ppl. disliked about my Old Guide - the profit was a joke

Also People asked for Dual Builds, which are in work.
Well enough slipslop - let's start the action

>>>Guide is still in Work<<<

Take your first Weapon and Armor Set and run to the Whispers Informant. Take the quest and run away to the north. Wait until the Hungers are standing in front of the NPCs.
Now Cast Echo and use "Can't touch This!", followed by "Fall back!" and "There's nothing to Fear!" and run through the NPCs on the left side of the left NPC, so that the hungers get struck (see this video if can't manage it).
After this, change to your 55hp armor (because the only skill they can use is Grenths Balance now, which doesn't work when you have 55hp

) and hex one of the Hungers with Mind Wrack. Use channeling and kill them with 2x Echoed Cry of Pain

After they're dead run away again, resign or let the next wave kill you, because we can only kill the first wave of the quest.

Headgear: Minor Domination
1. Weapon Slot: +5e and +30hp
2. Weapon Slot: Shield with +30hp

Use Physical Resistance and cast Enfeeble on one Aatxe. Then blind him and use Epidemic. I don't recommand pulling more than 3 Aatxes at once. Their attacks will only deal 50 dmg max
Then cast Spirit of Failure+Price of Failure+Empathy and keep both Aatxes blinded and enfeebled.
Use the same tactics for the graspings but watch out for interrupts.
When a Nightmare pops up just enfeeble and kill him, since you don't use enchantments he can't do anything.

5. Credits:

Ok this is going to be a little bit longer. First of all i really have to thank all of you, who read through and actually try these things out. There aren't many ppl. who believe that mesmers can be good farmers.
A big Thank you goes to Witte Was, ReZDoGG, Pariah Hellfire and Fuzzy Taco, who each made an awesome Guide for a single Class HM Farming, which inspired me to make one for the Mesmer.
The Raptor farming build was also made by ReZDoGG.
Credits for the VwK Builds goes to Dahnel, who (as far as i remember), invented farming with this elite and to Avarre, who was the first who took this over to the mesmer primary class, as well as for being the first and greatest mesmer farmer i know (your uw guide became a piece of culture to the mesmer class :P).
And hey, thx to Anet for the implementation of the Hardmode, which was your best update to the PvE-Gameplay EVER!!!
I also have to mention
one of the coolest Threads i've ever seen in Community Forum's, such a simple idea, but there aren't many ppl. who really admire the work of others.
So to summarize: Just thanks to everyone who is involved to this Forum and Game :P
Yeah, i know i'm such a Brown-noser

Now this is actually worth waiting for.

Bring it on D0pefish, let me know if you want this post deleted to make room.

And once again, he does it... Dopefish=GG!
Too bad I deleted my mesmer

Skinny Corpse · Apr 04, 2008, 04:32 PM // 16:32

I'm yet to get my mesmer to lvl 20 but I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Thanks, D0pefish

Abedeus · Apr 04, 2008, 05:39 PM // 17:39

I mean, after I change net, because I have horrible lags right now. But great job anyway.

*gotta get Mesmer to more Tyrian places*

You've hit the dreaded character limit. Same thing happened to me, Rez and Fuzzy.

If you hit 'Save' when editing the "empty" box, your post will implode. If you can, move some of the second post to the third to get around the char limit. You may need to recreate the second post, the hassle will be re-inserting the img and skill tags.

Terrokian · Apr 05, 2008, 12:47 AM // 00:47

Talk about tight as hell and to the point.

Pariah Hellfire · Apr 05, 2008, 04:31 AM // 04:31

I agree with Terrokian 100 percent. ^^^

Great variety with skill combinations also..

I love to try this stuff you post Dopefish,thanks for the time you put into these walkthroughs.

I know these guides can get time consuming and generally take a little while to create sometimes..so thanks for all the positive and constructive things you've contributed..because theres been alot from you.

..think of the great karma waiting in the Zaishen Chest for ya...

Well, once again a wonderful guide! Thanks very much indeed for all the work you put in it, DOpefish. I still have all the other guides bookmarked that you wrote - even if the builds may be nerfed by now, they keep having a nostalgic value for me

I, too, love my mesmer dearly, and I cherish the idea that you put so much energy into demonstrating to everyone what a wonderful and potent profession this is. Kudos for that.

As to the problem with your text: try to contact a mod or admin. They should - hopefully - still be able to get a full edit box and copy/paste all the BBcode to send it to you (preferably via email, since PMs may have some length restrictions as well).

ps:
When editing your guide, you may want to correct a couple of instances where you used the German word "Wand" to denote a wall; this could confuse your English speaking audience.

The.D0pefish · Apr 05, 2008, 08:22 AM // 08:22

lol how embarrassing

well after a few hours of guide-writing mistakes like this happen ^^

well i think copying the source code of the post and removing all the html tags will be much easier :X

I knew I wasn't crazy when I offered a 600 to smite with my Mesmer. Saved all builds and will be striving to get good with 'em. Because imo, if you can do that you can do anything. : D

xxx wraith xxx · Apr 06, 2008, 11:34 AM // 11:34

i was wondering...why dont the HM solo's for every proff get stickied. So this one, the Big necro farming thread the war stuff. I think that would really help players since they just have to look up the thread for theyre proff. But d0pe this guide=roxor,ownage, near perfection GJ gonna make mesmer now too. Ive read several guides of you b4 and was doubting bout making a mesmer but thnx to this guide Ive decided to make one. tyvm for the guide m8

Monkey Slayer · Apr 06, 2008, 05:23 PM // 17:23

Great guide Dopefish. You must really have a lot of time on your hands if your able to come up with so many Mesmer farm builds. I think now the hardest part is getting a mesmer to 20 without PuGs and stuff. The rest is easy. Once again, great job Dopefish.
