Simply put....whats your favorite mesmer elite?

I would be interested to see how many people use the same elites >

. Because of many of the not so great elites there are. ( *cough* power flux) That are just...not that great or under used.

My fav gottas ta be Energy Surge, I used to always use it, great for most of my builds!

PvP:
[skill]Psychic Distraction[/skill]

It's just so much fun to use in RA and TA..

Pve:
[skill]Hex Eater Vortex[/skill]

Damage causing Hex Removal! It's a nice replacement for Shatter Hex

[skill]Power Block[/skill]

This skill destroys PvE and is pretty good in PvP as well.

Helcaraxe · May 14, 2007, 02:17 AM // 02:17

my vote goes for [skill]Power Block[/skill]

Ishtar Serket · May 14, 2007, 03:05 AM // 03:05

My fav is [skill]Power Block[/skill], great for shutdown of targets since most tend to favour one spell attribute to focus on per build. Other than that, [skill]Migraine[/skill] is a great skill though moreso in PvP than in PvE since enemies tend to die fast. It is useful against monks though since a good number of healing spells cast fairly quickly making interruption more difficult.

Karomi Saoshi · May 14, 2007, 03:18 AM // 03:18

It would definately have to be a tie for me between [skill]ineptitude[/skill] and [skill]migraine[/skill]. Oh and for farming purposes and just for plain fun [skill]illusionary weaponry[/skill]

Naylyn · May 14, 2007, 07:03 AM // 07:03

I don't really have a favourite elite though, I tend to have a lot of fun with all of them, though if I had to choose any I would say Manta of Recovery, I loved it when it cost 15(!) energy, now its just plain awesome.

How do you input those icons?

[skill]Power Block[/skill]

With all the single-line characters in GvG, this skill is far more useful than before.

Water or air eles?
Curse necroes?
Illu or dom mesmers?

POWERRRRRR BLOOOOOOOOCK

[skill ]Panic[\skill]:
Funny to use on pve mobs who spam heal sig

(warning, use with GoLE only)

ugh what am i doing wrong?

Dean Harper · May 14, 2007, 02:02 PM // 14:02

PvE:
[skill]Energy Surge[/skill]

Great damage and awsome at weakening mobs. PB is nice too but its definetally not my favorite, E-Surge has gotten me out of a lot of tight situations.

PvP:
[skill]Ineptitude[/skill]

It seems like this skill would be more appropriate in PvE because most monsters will attack through it. But you'd be supprised, if timed correctly, how many actual people attack right through it as well. Works great in AB and i have won 5 matches in a row, just slaughtering melee characters.

SpriteSODA · May 14, 2007, 02:41 PM // 14:41

sry but i don't understand all the huss around Energy surge..
even with arcane echo and energy burn its still kinda crappy, not enough damage to adjacent foes or anything, SS surely beats it.

Estic · May 14, 2007, 02:50 PM // 14:50

Pericles: change the \ to a / and you're there.

[skill]Fevered Dreams[/skill]!

Epidemic is nice and all, but I find the target is dead before I can transfer the conditions (usually deep wound is the killer). Just set your heroes to conditions ([skill]Virulence[/skill] and [skill]Broad Head Arrow[/skill] work wonders) and have fun.

(Check you backslash)

For PVE [skill]Energy Surge[/skill]

Real good when copied with [skill]Arcane Echo[/skill]

XvArchonvX · May 14, 2007, 03:25 PM // 15:25

Hmm...I'm not sure I have a hands down favorite, but some of my favs are:

Domination:
[skill]Power Block[/skill]
[skill]Energy Surge[/skill]

Illusion:
[skill]Migraine[/skill]
[skill]Ineptitude[/skill]

Inspiration:
[skill]Energy Drain[/skill]

Fast Casting
[skill]Mantra of Recovery[/skill]

Sophitia Leafblade · May 14, 2007, 03:28 PM // 15:28

[skill]Echo[/skill] My Fav mesmer Elite, one of the best elites of the game. my mini pet Asura Agrees by saying "RAWR!"

ZenRgy · May 14, 2007, 03:42 PM // 15:42

[skill]Psychic Distraction[/skill], [skill]Power Block[/skill] is also fun.

[skill]Expel Hexes[/skill] is good, but is more of a utility elite that is better placed on things that aren't mesmers since you don't have to use any attributes to get it's benefits (eg. Paragons / Rangers)

Qaesuu · May 14, 2007, 03:48 PM // 15:48

[skill]Signet of Illusions[/skill]

Not extremely powerful, but with [skill]Arcane Thievery[/skill] its GREAT fun to turn enemy spells against them

(in PvP or PvE)
