any builds at all would help, but im looking for an illusion or domination build.

Thanks

Domination is a better choice and your skill bar needs to change as you progress in the story. Beginning area AOE dmg and priest shut down is good. When you get to tormented area you need to really get good at targeting. The warriors are very nasty if left alone. Normally people shut down priest and move on. Just a suggestion hex the warriors then move to the priest.

Basic Build

[skill]energy surge[/skill] [skill]empathy[/skill] [skill]power spike[/skill] [skill]backfire[/skill] [skill]power drain[/skill] [skill]ether feast[/skill] [skill]resurrection signet[/skill]

I left one out I usually run wastrels worry or a hex removal / enchantment removal

I don't understand why, since all your skills are Mesmer, you don't use Monk as your secondary and use Rebirth or some other better rez. It doesn't require that you put any points in any monk attribute.

I think that wise players take Rebirth or Rez Chant so there is no need to tell about i t all the time.

Only because for me I only use it for a quick rez on a hero if I am in a bad situation and a key person falls I can quickly rez. I am a solo person in PVE and if I get wiped out I consider it my screw up and I deserve to start over. You are totally correct I should have Monk skills on the bar. Or flesh of my flesh or death pact signet

Actually, you are right, if you're just doing H&H, a rez signet is quicker, and I agree with the screw up thing.

EDIT: btw, if you can get it, I would recommend using [wiki]Sunspear Rebirth Signet[/wiki].

So....i basically run stuff with friends, so i figured that domination would be the best.

Erock The Skinny · Oct 25, 2007, 10:03 PM // 22:03

can anyone post a possible illusion build with skills just from Nightfall?

viens87 · Oct 26, 2007, 07:52 AM // 07:52

i never use the rez when i play PvE .. becaus this is my heros job to res something ... maby sometimes in DoA need the rez for part players ..
better in rez place get other skill for mesmer .

i often use this build for vanguishing 2..

Me/E
1. kurzik Me skill
2.echo (elite)
3. cry of pain
4. empathy
5. Glypth of energy
6.backfire
7. Chaos Storm (this can change ever what u want)/Ether Signet/Energy Tap
8. Drain Enchantment

i use inspiration on 10+1 attribut points that be grate for Ether signet

i dont need the interups , becaus my norgu do that , i dont ned the heal becaus my talkhora do that ..

after vanishing NF .. only difficult place on Normal mode is in Vortex, where if u run u die ..

other places this build works perfect for all places in NF ..

For a Mesmer in Nightfall, how can people have not mentioned [wiki]Mistrust[/wiki] yet?

Illusion builds lack a bit for general PvE play. Eye of the North brought out some nice Illusion skills like [wiki]Wandering Eye[/wiki] though.

bungusmaximus · Nov 08, 2007, 01:45 PM // 13:45

Nasty ele boss + [wiki]power block[/wiki] can be fun too.

JeTs · Nov 08, 2007, 05:24 PM // 17:24

You also can use the: Intineptude Spammer build.
It worked good in Gwen, Factions and Proph!
I started this build in Nightfall to,, and it's doing well!
Here are the skills you need:

-Ineptitude [E]
-Clumsiness
-Signet of Clumsiness
-Arcane Echo
-Auspicious Incantation
-Conjure Nightmare
-Power Drain
-Resurrection Signet

Good luck whit it!
And remmeber start whit Auspicious Incantation and then cast Conjure Nightmare

Trying for a NF only build with Illusions would be tough as that campaign doesn't have much. About the only good skills are the Signet of Illusions (especially since the update) - unless they nerf it. But even with that, Dom is usually a better way to go in PvE. The main advantage to NF is the Sunspear skill "Cry of Pain" - goes well with most any Mes build!

Guildwiki's PvX is a good place to look for builds, as well as the Builds posts on this site.

Energy Burn
Energy Surge [E]
Wastrel's Demise
Fire Storm
Cry of Pain
Sunspear Rebirth Signet

any advise or changes would be much appreciated
thanks

Remove firestorm, and either invest into inspiration for energy management through [skill]power drain[/skill] or max out fast casting and domination and bring [skill]glyph of lesser energy[/skill]. Energy management is mandatory on a caster.

Shmanka · Nov 18, 2007, 12:14 AM // 00:14

Signet of Illusions makes things possible for massive utility. I have a nuker build:
Signet of Illusions
Glyph of Lesser Energy
Meteor Shower
Deep Freeze
Mistrust
Power Drain
Shell Shock
Ressurection Signet

it's fun... not anything pro worthy but people take me in their pug FoW groups
