This build is adapted to the current flux which massively helps the mesmers defence. It is basically designed to be capable of dealing with most of the situations you will face in FA.

Me/A
Attributes: 10+1 FC, 11+1+1 Domi, 10+1 Inspiration Magic
Arcane Langour
Empathy
Ether Phantom
Drain Delusions
Arcane Echo
Chaos Storm
Dash
Ether Feast

Usage:
Empathy is more then enough to kill any NPC apart from the Juggernaut, because all NPC's use staff or autoattack. It also helps your defence vs physical characters and ranger characters and can stop an assault on the turtle.
Ether Phantom + Drain Delusions, cover hex and energy management in one.
Arcane Echo, use either to echo Arcane Langour to keep it up on defending monks or to echo chaos storm and take down gates. Echo Chaos storm is ~500 damage in total and usually enough to take down the 2 or 3 gate mobs on each gate. They do move out at the end but it's usually manageable.
Dash, speed boost, any sucessfull FA build needs one.
Ether Feast, grants great survivability along with dash in the current flux.

This is a simple but effective build with good survivability which stops most monks from healing Gunther and gate guards effectively. If there are several monks you have the option of shutting down at least one.

1. the link is for an assassin only thread.

2. this build pressures monks far more effectively then rupts.

No diversion? Hitting with diversion is better than hitting with languor (granted, languor does have more uptime), but both are pretty awesome in a format with 5s res timers.

If you're taking arcane Languor, take Aneurysm. It hits HARD on an exhausted target, and the energy won't get returned because they're exhausted.
