a build for mesmer using energy surge/burn/mind wrack: energy drain and nice spike.
just played around a bit with arcane mimicry and arcane echo, that made my char me/x have 3 eliteskills!
But most times the copied elites werent that effective as long as i didnt copy them from another mesmer.
but if u play with another mesmer with the same setup in a team, this skills becomes really great.
setup just like this:

1)energy surge(10/2/20)
2)energy burn(10/2/20)
3)arcane echo(15/2/30)
4)arcane mimicry(15/2/60)
5)mind wrack(5/1/5)
5)res-signet
6)
7)
8)

the last 3 skills slots i dont now what to use for, maybe some more energy stealing spells form inspiration magic.
start off with arcane echo->arcance mimicry (on your mesmer friend)->
arcane mimicry again-> cast mind wrack on target -> cast your 3 energy surges and energy burn on target
= -40 energy and 320+95 damage(in case mind wrack triggers)

disadvantages of this build is the high energy costs and the long cast times.
so you want a BiP-necro in your team and a high fast cast.
i know its not the best build, but i just wanted to gice arcane mimicry a chance. thoughts/critics/advices are welcome.

get another 7 mesmers like that and voila! you have the original super gay mesmer build, which was supposed to be able to kill an entire team with 3 energy surges (*8). we got a grand total of 2 fame from the entire half hour run... lol

Remember, if your target doesn't have energy your burn skills does like ~8 dmg.. So this build works best vs. energy storage eles.

Btw signet of weariness are nice skill to this build.

sure this build isnt that effective gainst w or r, almost no energy killing build is designed for that.
its against ele/mo/n/mes that have around 50 / 80 energy.
btw i made a mistake in the discription:
there is no need to copy arcane mimicry with arcane echo

, but if u want 3different elites thats the way to go.
@ smurfhunter why should you make a 8 mes spike team with that setup ? it consumes lot of energy, you got a lack of defense and selfheal, the spike isnt that great gainst w or r. my intension was to create a build with 2 energy killing mes. im just wondering how u managed to get 2 fame with that.
