this build uses my favorite skill--ineptitude. although this an an anti-melle build, in pve casters attack with their wand/staves and dont stop so its just as good against them. in pvp its only good (but VERY good) angainst physical attackers like sins, rangers and warriors.

fast casting-9
illusion-16
inspiration-11

skills--ineptitude, archane echo, clumsiness, signet of clumsiness, images of remorse, conjure phantasm, ether feast, and an energy management skill of your choice (i use power drain/energy trap)

usage--find an already attacking enemy--use clumsiness immidiatley followed my signet of clumsiness. use archane echo then cast ineptitude. most are still stupid enough to keep attacknig anyway, so cast ineptiude again. cast conjure phantasm, and images of remorse when enemies are attacking to add alot damage output. you can swap archane echo for another illusion spell or energy management skill....tell me how you like it.

I have been becoming a big fan of Ineptitude lately. I've been wanting to play around with some builds that showcase it and this looks like a lot of fun. The spike damage is crazy with it. I usually run a dom build, but switched to illusion lately. I've been doing a barbs, recurring insecurity accumulated pain thing. Someone wanted me to do an SS build with my mesmer/necro, but when I was scanning my skill, Ineptitude struck me as just brutal.

I think throwing in Spirit of Failure and/or Reckless Haste would add a little more fun too. I like the thought of echoing Ineptitude.
