DOPEFISH'S SOLO MESMER

1.Foreword:
I'm a Fan of Mesmer and PvE. That doesn't fat very well. So I decided to make a build that can solo a few territories. While testing the Build I recognized that it can solo very much in Tyria and Cantha (I'll check out Elona soon).
Please don't flame because of my bad English. Have fun with the build/guide.

Now cast IW. You gut to be sure that none of the aatxes got an active riposte. Always recast SV immediately. Watch out for the riposte animation. If you see it stop attacking and wait a few secs.
The graspings are easier. Drain there Energy and kill them.

Good job and thanks for sharing it

Hyprodimus Prime · Mar 03, 2007, 12:08 AM // 00:08

Wow man....thats very creative. I did make a build like that a long time ago on a similar note but i never thought to use it for PvE. Would you mind if I modified the page to use SV/AV like you did? ill give you credit of course.

VERY NICE now I can finally say to myself "mesmers don't need to 55 to tank mobs". right under our nose the whole time lol.

drakun01 · Mar 03, 2007, 02:50 AM // 02:50

WOW! This is amazing! I always knew mesmers could solo well, I just was never sure how. But then again I said that about pre-NF sins too =P

Nice one Dopefish, nice guide with all the screens and stuff ^^.

You can farm stuff in nightfall with this build aswell I think. Mokeles, Enchanted Brambles, perhaps even titans. And ofcourse the usual insects (which are about the equivalent of mino's, easy low loot) and spearthrowing monkeys.
If you bring something to shut the monk down, u can kill the skree aswell. And djinngroups without a diamond djinn can probably go down to your build aswell...

Just some NF Ideas
