Years ago it was popular for combat trapping using [mantra of resolve]. That was when Epidemic cost 15 energy and wasn't as effective as it is now. However, [epidemic] got changed and is now a nice option for builds using [broad head arrow] and/or [concussion shot]. It works well with cripple, bleeding, poison, and blind, which are all available to a Ranger to supply.
If you want to invest attribute points and use a spell or 2, consider something like these:
[fragility][fevered dreams][frustration]
There are not too many Mesmer spells worth using as they require large attribute investment, large energy, or long casting times. Pick the skills that work WITH the build you are wanting to use, and if there aren't any, choose a different secondary.
