I once had a greaT w/Me but deleted him

. i dont know why. I got just close to acending. But the only mesmer skill i had was conjure phantasm. I'm wondering if there are more skills that would make a good build with the w/'s small energy. your help is greatly appreciated.

I only have prophecies.

That should answer your question. Please always check stickies for simple information.

I disagree. I had a very effective W/Me that used [Elemental resistance] and [physical resistance] back when armor stacked (with a zealous Sword/Axe), since damage types are pretty predictable. Not to mention that [Hex Eater Signet] or [Inspired Hex] is useful against any number of nasty hexes, [Epidemic] can spread the conditions you apply, and [Lyssa's Balance] can remove nasty enchantments cheaply and repeatedly.

A W/Me doesn't gain anything in the way of direct damage, but does gain a lot of utility.

The only halfway decent skills that could even remotely benifit a warrior are the interruption skills, and even then there are better skills for your bar.

Rebirth, you included two factions skills... Epidemic is temping, but you don't really need to spread a lot of conditions as a warrior, you mostly want to stick to deep wound for spiking purposes. Also the resistance skills are bad because you lose the ability to use an IAS.

Scot, you just might want to stick to being a pure warrior until you ascend and then you can switch over to something useful like /e or /mo.

W/Me carrying Mantra of [Insert Dmg Type Here] is good!

I'm not a fan of physical resistance as in PvE most mobs have mixed damage types, not solely elemental or solely physical. Unless of course, you are a W/E/Me using Stonestriker + Mantra of Earth...*sigh* if only! >.>

Not really. It removes you IAS spot.

Well, I was assuming he'd be running Ursan

Most Warriors these days do! >.<

Personaly I find several mesmer skills are usefull. While they arn't the most efficient of builds they do get the job done.

[hex breaker] as a cancel stance for frenzy in hex heavy areas.

If you know there is no enchant shatter/removal in the map then [Illusion of Weakness] can be a safety net + it makes running 15% while enchanted weapons/sheilds easy.
[Epidemic] as a follow up to [dismember] or [sever artery][gash] can be usefull.

Most of the other mesmer skills you might take are from other chapters though.
