Curse

I notice that when I can't find the group as an interrupter that using my ele secondary for fire nuking usually can help me find a group. I have always used Mantra of Recall(the energy one) to get energy, but now I have capped echo and glyph of renewal.

So I was wondering, how should I place my attributes and what should I use for energy management?

Also, for equipment should I go try to find some +15 -1 energy weapons and focuses for switches?

This is for pve and I have both prophecies and factions.

why not go domination and bring pve staples like backfire/empathy/e surge/e burn/ instead of relying on crappy builds like fc nuking?

FC Nuking is great. And the 15/-1 stuff is a must for this. Just be ready for some downtime while you recharge. But with 2 meat showers and a few other hot rocks tossed around, there won't be much oppresion while you rest.

I usually leave nuking to an Elementalist, and even then, I don't like nuking. :P

Glyph of Renewal MS nuking is consistent enough to outlast your target Mesmer fire-nuking build.

And Domination mesmers ROCK. XD

It's just, being a fire nuker usually helps getting in groups for missions easier then finding the one group that actually knows what a domination mesmer can do.

Still glyph-renewed shatter hex is nuke that elementalist can be jelous for. And it removes 2 hexes from tank. Glyphed empathy, backfire, cry of frustration - all that make mesmer very good pve character.

Sad that so many pve groups aren't aware of mesmers destructive power.

Yes, I like doing damage with domination, but if you classify yourself as a damage dealer/ nuker and they don't see meteors dropping on monsters heads or giant fireballs flying... People tend to freak out and think your sitting their picking your nose while they do all the damage.

Also, does anyone know where to find +15 -1 regen fire wand and focus?

Energy glyph is good too for fc nuking : an almost free powerfull spell every 15 sec without exhaustion.

Too bad Meteor Shower has a 60 recharge, and most of the other Fire spells are not worth mentioning?

Tell Anet to fix the dang animations. Which looks like it's doing more damage, firestorm, or shatter hex? Of course shatter hex, but fire raining from the sky sure LOOKS like it's more effective. Can your group see the little yellow numbers? Of course not. Even if everything a mesmer does has to be purple and dusty, make it look like a freakin huge purple nuke of destruction.

It's too bad if you took only one fire skill...

I may be wrong so please correct me if I am...There's a weapons guy in Maatu Keep who sells wands and foci, I buy all of mine from him (we have an 'agreement' - i buy all my stuff from him, and he gives me a 20% discount! ). If you can't get to Maatu Keep there is a weapons guy in Bukdek Byway, just out of Kaineng Centre who will sell wands - not sure about foci.

Here's my fast-cast fire nuker build, you may need to swap in/out some skills to customize it for a certain area:

Fire: 12
Fast Cast: 9+1
Inspiration: 9+1+2

Power Drain
Inspired Hex
Meteor Shower
Glyph of Renewel {E}
Fire Attunement
Incendiary Bonds/Rodgort's Invocation
Immolate
Res Sig

Gear: Enchanter's set, Rago's stuff

Basically, you have Meteor Shower for interrupt (kinda ironice that you're a mesmer and you're using MS to interrupt

), GoR, Power Drain, Inspired Hex, and Fire Attunement for energy, Incendiary or Rodgort's for some AoE damage, and a spammable spell Immolate for extra burnage.

Energy should be okay if you're not spamming the spells.
