i thought this up a few months ago... i have quite a few builds ive invented, but while this remain's untested, im guessing it will be my best...

this build is property of me and guild [MMD]:

armor: i don't know, whatever you want, probably energy boosting.

Mesmer/Monk (this is a 55 build)

weapon : assassin daggers (dmg doesn't matter, whichever kind are fastest (dont' know too much about assassin weapon differences))

attributes:
build is untested so don't know these, just need high points on healing, prot, and the attribute illusionary weapon is based in.. i think its illusion magic.

skills:
usual 55 set
healing breeze
prot spirit
balthazar's aura? (never used a 55 build)

mes skills:
this is key! illusionary weapon
you can if you wish throw in other defense stuff like distortion, but mostly the rest of the skills are yours to play around with for dmg dealing purposes

pretty much this build is simple. like a 55 necro uses 55 monk skill set to stay alive but just adds Spiteful Spirit, the 55 mesmer uses monk skill set, then adds about 120 dmg a second in dagger attacks. at max illusionary weapon does 35+ dmg per strike, and the dagger attack rate should boost this to pretty speedy attacks.

like i said, this is untested, and obviously things like the 55 necro are faster at killing groups, but i i think as far as mesmer farming builds go, this should be sweet.

If daggers are 2 handed, you can't have 55 hp, that's if they're 2 handed

With 0 dagger mastery, daggers have a 0% chance of getting a double attack. And yes, that'll be 105hp at most.

Don't forget the lack of spellbreaker.

Just verifying the above two; can't really 55 without 55 weapons ^_^
Bath aura will also cause scatter.
Check Avarre's guide about 55 mesmer solo uw farming; should cover pretty much all of that this build wishes to accomplish.

well if ur gonna make illusion weapon u got a problem because firstly ur gonna have to add a divine boon to the line up for wen u get those big packs and regen just aint enuf.

secondly illusion weapon only attacks one target. no aoe gonna take long.

Eaimirth Etaivella · Jun 12, 2006, 05:30 AM // 05:30

Divine boon is worthless; divine favor on the other hand is useful on a 55 build.

Shadow-Hunter · Jun 12, 2006, 08:42 AM // 08:42

a Mesmer cant get the DF bonus... So something like Boon or Even Vigorous spirit (should add life when you cast a spell) will help if ur going to tank large groups..

Also, to clairfy, without points in dagger mastery, daggers have the same attack speed as swords.

Divine boon I cannot believe >.>

LOL....you forgot the title....."The Ultimate Mesmer Farming Build".....

When I read this thread title I thought "Hmmmm....someone has gone out and tested a new build Mesmer build for farming...". Imagine my surprise to find out they've just re-hashed an existing build with less detail, and then did not test it

yeah lol I was just about to edit my post but you caught that...
heck its basically a slap in the face for the real mesmers and IMO should be deleted

and yeah I got sucked in the same way
MOD please rename to : 'Another bunch of vague ideas someone wants to claim'
Says 'No real value' a lot better, no?

edit - and he thought of it a few months ago
great to see how much intiative was taken nailing down the particulars since then eh? rotfl

Hey guys lets not bash the topic starter 'kay?
Try to keep input constructive.

DoctorEvil · Jun 12, 2006, 06:59 PM // 18:59

Agreed....done with bashing...

For the OP's reference here is a link to a build very similar to what you are trying to accomplish. Actually, it's a pretty complete guild to Mesmer farming of any type.

Avarre · Jun 13, 2006, 07:15 AM // 07:15

Mesmer 55 farming, that is

I could always edit it to add in oldschool me/x farming with sig of midnight... but that was no faster and required alot more luck. Plus it couldn't really get past aatxes

Bowerbank · Jun 13, 2006, 07:19 AM // 07:19

any1 managed 2 amend and try it?

Eaimirth Etaivella · Jun 13, 2006, 12:39 PM // 12:39

No reason to; as much as I would I do not believe I [nor anyone] can best Avarre's guide on the subject. I could write a guide on interrupts but no one would agree with my preference, I could write a guide on kiting but no one would agree on the profession, I could write a guide on...seems he got the only topic >.>

Thought about doing some research on character animations to find out if there is a way to "predict" spell usage...need another computer though.

....Hard to beat that.... (Dont take too seriously on this one)

Just a little going back to topic (hum «Topic»). Better using a sword or Axe in IW (Sword for preference) than daggers. Without your -50hp focus, its not a 55HP. I dont think you can do alot Dual attack with your attacks as a Me/Mo with 0 daggers mastery.
