1.) Power Return! (So spamable almost makes me think I'm playing a Ranger!)

2.) Shatter Hex (dunno how I got stuck on this one, but I like it)

3.) Energy Drain (not really fair, cause I use it more on my monk than my mesmer)

Ineptitude - definitely the best illusion elite. Blind + Huge Damage, this even work on none melee characters, as caster still use their wand sometimes.

Clumsiness - very similar to ineptitude

Conjure Nightmare - nice -8 degen, cost too much of energy though, but I like the hex animation.

When playing a mesmer devoted to caster shutdown:

Blackout
Diversion
Shame

When playing a mesmer devoted to melee-shutdown:

Ineptitude [Elite]
Clumsiness
Spirit of Failure

When playing a Monk:

Mantra of Recall [Elite]
Energy Drain [Elite]
Power Drain
Drain Enchantment

(Ok, so that's 4, but who's counting

)

There are a ton of playable mesmer skills, but they're all very role-specific, so it's very hard to pick just 3, even for a single build.

Rainman · Aug 05, 2006, 01:11 PM // 13:11

mine would have to be

frenzy
mending
meteor shower

for me being serious
NORMAL SKILLS

backfire (YUMMY!)
clumsiness (haha you fell over)
cry of frustration (OMG YOU !$#@%*$*%#&&@%&%%&$#^@$%^!!!! )

elites

IW (i hit you with my mind)
ineptitude (never heard of it but it seems good since every1 likes it xD)
phsycic distraction (the name even confuses me :S)

Hella Good · Aug 05, 2006, 03:21 PM // 15:21

Hmm... ONLY 3?

1) Distortion
2) Mindwrack
3) Ineptitude*

* Funny how the damage buff made Ineptitude from mediocre to a staple Mesmer elite and def one of the best.

Avarre · Aug 05, 2006, 05:07 PM // 17:07

I used ineptitude before as a staple

Well, you must've been one of the few, since ANet felt it was necessary to put 50 damage on top to make it worthwhile. Inepti + Clumsi can easily kill a Frenzied War now. They couldn't do that before. Afterall Inepti was simply a Clumsi with a 10s blind and twice the recharge.
