im making a necro/mesmer build, i was wondering if blood/illusion or curse/illusion was better for PVP.

Shadow strike, Vapmiric gaze, dark pact, Life Siphon, Well of Blood. Healing Breeze, Orision of healing, and Ressurect

those are my main skills in this build.

I focus all my points in to Blood and healing, and some into soul reaping. This is AoE/Healer build. I find this very effective in PvP. With the vampiric gaze and shadow strike i can do a decent amount of damage to my enemy. While during some massive healing.

Depends what you want to do. Blood/Domination would be a decent anti-caster line, and Curses/Illusion would be a great anti-melee line. You could also try for a balance of mesmer abilities for the anti-caster, with Blood/Domination/Inspiration (since Mesmer attributes don't have to be so high to be effective). No build is going to be effective against both melee and casters. Personally, I'd recommend the anti-caster line, then you can hunt down Monks.

You might also want to consider whether you'd be better off with a Mesmer primary. Your armour is slightly worse, but Fast Casting is so much better than Soul Reaping it's a joke.

Anyway, you can always change your build around once you start playing. Give something a try; if it's not working for you, try something else.
