Newb Question (Advise for a Build)

The mesmer skills you should be considering for a general SS build are either:

1) Unlinked
2) Requiring zero investment in the attribute to be effective

Speccing hard into a third attribute will weaken your build considerably. Now adays, yes. Since with the changes to Soul Reaping and the availability of other spells. Since the OP didn't specify what campaign(s) he/she has access to I gave an example of a build I used to run back when Prophecies was the only thing available.

signet of disruption is a good skill to use. I still don't like using arcane echo as it is too energy consuming for my tastes. Of course getting skills like Cry of Frustration and Signet of Lost Souls are good too.

Interupts are just that, you don't really need to invest heavily on domination magic just to interupt. Swap Empathy for Cry of Frustration (stopping those nasty troll ungents and healing sigs).

The mesmer skills you should be considering for a general SS build are either:

Speccing hard into a third attribute will weaken your build considerably. I disagree. It is perfectly feasible to run an SS build at curses 11+3+1, SR 10+1, Domination or Inspiration 10.

I disagree. It is perfectly feasible to run an SS build at curses 11+3+1, SR 10+1, Domination or Inspiration 10. but would you do it, power return just is a cheap interupt wich has the fastest recharge of non-elite interupts

same reason why Power return is good in PvE, is that Power Leak is bad in PvE.
And with Soul Reaping you won't need inspiration interupts

I disagree. It is perfectly feasible to run an SS build at curses 11+3+1, SR 10+1, Domination or Inspiration 10. Attribute-wise, of course, it won't make much of a difference, and 11 in SR is more than enough. What it will do is encourage you to bring unviable mesmer spells (such as Empathy and Backfire) at a poor attribute spec into PvE.

If you're pro, equip D-shot and bow swap to use it.....well, i wouldn't recommend that it is fun in pvp though OMG you are really really bad. D-shot on a necro??? WOW! I think you are confusing the word "pro" for mentally retarded...

To "correctly" answer the OP, try this build:

Power spike is 5 energy now...
[skill]Power Spike[/skill][skill]Power Drain[/skill][skill]Arcane Echo[/skill][skill]Spiteful Spirit[/skill][skill]barbs[/skill][skill]mark of pain[/skill][skill]enfeebling blood[/skill][skill]resurrection signet[/skill]
You don't need a ton into domination to make this build work.
Curses --> 12+1+1
Soul Reaping --> 10+1
Inspiration --> 8 or 7
Domination --> whatever is left over

OMG you are really really bad. D-shot on a necro??? WOW! I think you are confusing the word "pro" for mentally retarded... Am i doing it wrong? ill try running it on a monk...

OMG you are really really bad. D-shot on a necro??? WOW! I think you are confusing the word "pro" for mentally retarded... D-shot is one of the best interrupts in the game. swapping to a shortbow and firing it off is a perfectly viable strategy, when you don't need your secondary for anything else.

OMG you are really really bad. D-shot on a necro??? WOW! I think you are confusing the word "pro" for mentally retarded... DShot is one of the best skills in the game and works fine at 0 spec.
If you've an open secondary, it's a fine choice... if a little unorthodox.
