Curse

Atm I try to fight my way through The Falls with henchies, but find the region rather unrewarding (though the big prize in Prophecies would eventually be the Totem Axe.

Among the problems is the low level of henchies (15 vs opponents up to 18-19) and just one healer (Alesia). Enemies are are a good mix of direct damage (trolls, shepherds, spiders) and degeneration (mostly poison or desease, but there are also some wind riders [=mesmer] later on).

My mesmer/necro uses domination + curses (with SS as an elite) to get rid of pulks of trolls and spiders, but for my taste I rely too much on Alesia for healing:
Power Spike
Empathy
Shatter Hex
Leech Signet (2nd interupt, also non spells)
Spiteful Spirit [E]
Parasitic Bond
Reckless Haste
Ressurection Signet
As curses are my main weapon I'd probably be better of with my necro anyway - but then why should my mesmer not be able to do it?

I'm far from fighting comfortably there, let alone solo the area. My problem is, as always, twosided - do enough damage to kill stuff, and get enough protection/ heal to stay alive. I don't care which secondary to use.

Jungle scales and wind riders can strip or shatter enchantments, so a Me/Mo will probably work fine until then.
