7 Heroes with Mesmer Suggestions

Some disagree with using defensive spirits with a MM but I've have been using them both together just fine and with the raw power of the dmg output with Spirits and Mesmer dmg stuff dies faster than it can do a large amount of dmg and with a high specced Soul twisting a hero can keep displacement, union, and shelter up forever. I would agree with that, I've been running a rit hero with union/shelter and displacement plus a MM bomber and whilst it may not be absolutely perfect in terms of synergy it works fine enough.


I'm currently running something like this on my Mesmer primary:

1. Mesmer (Me) - Panic plus usual domination skills.

2. Mesmer hero- Ineptitude + illusion skills.
3. Mesmer hero- Keystone signet + signet skills. (you could use psychic instability).

4. Ritualist hero- Soul twisting with shelter + union + displacement. (sometimes best to manually cast in the ideal order if you enter an area and expect a large spike in damage).

5. Ritualist hero- SOS + Bloodsong. Ancestors Rage + splinter if you have a melee in. Usually take a couple of resto heals as well.

6. MM bomber hero- AOTL bomber with some prots.

7. Monk hero- Healing Burst and two more heals. Some condition and hex removal.

8. One slot open to put in whatever you want depending on area. Often I put in a N/Rt healer, Ele air/fire/earth or a Monk ROJ smiter with SOH if there is a melee in the group. I wouldn't recommend a SS Necro if you are running Panic and Inept as it defeats the purpose. You could change the ST rit to an SOGM one for more damage and use the spare slot for an Ether Prot if you wanted. I'm not a fan of SOGM though and find i kill quick enough without it.

With minions + defensive spirits it provides a decent amount of defense meaning less healing needed (hence why i usually run with one monk plus a couple of heals on the rit in most areas). There is enough killing damage from the minions + spirits and the mesmers.

I would suggest taking E-surge along with pve skills and also bring another mesmer hero and use the 3rd one for either PI and rit skills (support) or Ineptitude. Don't assume everyone has mercs.

BiP shouldn't be necessary. its just a fail safe cause idk if the e manage i have is really enough in case i double aggro or something

its just a fail safe cause idk if the e manage i have is really enough in case i double aggro or something E-manage shouldn't be an issue tbh.

Don't assume everyone has mercs. No you didn't got me, I thought the player was mesmer. So he would be mesmer 1. And then you have the 2 mesmer heroes
