I just cant come up with any good builds for Norgu

Thanks in advance

Mine currently has an IW Me/W set up, with a few interrupts for gaining energy.

I don't usually run Mesmers, so I actually am having a little bit of trouble myself, so perhaps there is someone else who can post here who might know a little more.

Ah for pve mesmer i really cant help you nvr took interest in pve mesmer, but for pvp degen, interupts, anti caster, anti melee, massive hexes or spike all work very well. Wouldnt really run an IW mesmer in pve unless u want to heal him all the time. would be wise to keep him in the back next to ur monks so he can do some degen and or interupting. i mean cmon....a computer interuptor cant get better than that.
Check out Erys vasburg henchie build lol he rocks as a mes.

With the AI's godly reaction time, making him into a frustration interrupt spammer can dish out alot of spike damage and shut enemies down.

Skills:
Frustration
P. distraction [E]
Power Drain
Optional
Optional
Optional
Optional
Res

You can fill the rest of the skills with more interrupts like cry of frustration or some e.management/defensive skills.

Keep domination 9Or whatever line frustration is in) maxed for highest possible damage. Put some points into FC to keep the interrupts nice and fast and you should be good to run.

Agreed with Dust, it's a good idea to make him an interupter. Atm I have him running:

Psychic Instability (E)
Power Leak
Power Spike
Energy Burn
Signet of Disruption
Empathy
Hex Breaker (he will keep this up pretty much constantly)
Rez

He is pretty smart about hexing enemies with Instability and then using signet of disruption to interupt heal sig, troll ungunt etc.
If you don't want him interupt, then you can go for a degen/anti-warrior type build that should also work:

Images of Remorse
Conjure Phantasm
Ineptitude (E)
Phantom Pain
Signet of Clumsiness
Power Drain (for e-management)
Ether Feast
Rez

Sig of Clumsiness could be swapped out for Clumsiness, although I would be hesitant in case he used this on the same target as Ineptitude - with Sig it triggers instantly, whereas there is a possibility with Clumsiness that AI triggers it first, then by their second attack Ineptitude has worn off.

Could make him basic domination spiker with interupts. Sample build:

DOmination 16
FC 13

Sig of Disruption/Backfire
Power Spike
Complicate
Shatter Echant/Shatter Hex
Energy Burn
Energy Surge
Empathy
Hard Res

Notable with FC at 13 u can res at an incredible speed, and thusly take res's off some other henchies. With Flesh of my Flesh you can res about 5 people in about 15 seconds and about 5-10% health. Good deal if you ask me....

I use Norgu as an interrupt/protection character:

1 - Psychic Distraction {E} (Best interrupt in the game)
2 - Power Spike - fast recharge with damage
3 - Power Drain
4 - Cry of Frustration
5 - Protective Spirit
6 - Mend Ailment
7 - Rebirth
8 - Ressurection Signet

He's a monster at locking down caster opponents. I'll probably try to incorporate Empathy and Backfire some time in there...

Damnit, Psychic Distraction is factions, i don't have factions. *suicide*
Might use powerblock or something.
