I saw a mesmer in PvE the other day. what a suprise, havent seen one in PvE for months.--Coloneh RIP 00:37, 1 December 2006 (CST)

does anyone know if mesmer degen hexes stack. like say that i cast conjure phantasm and conjure nightmare. would my target have -12 health degen?

Yes they do. However, degen maxes out at -10. Anything beyond that won't add additional health loss. However, it's a cumulative effect. Let's say the target has -12 degen. If someone casts Healing Breeze on them for +3 regen, the net result is -12 + 3 = -9 degen. So even when hexes stack above the limit, the degen is still "there". Although iirc there's a degen cap at -20 or something. Entropy 03:55, 24 December 2006 (CST)
 * Yeah, since you can have a maximum of +10 regen that would make sense. You can have -10 degen to counter the regen and then -10 extra, then it reaches the cap. Then it would apply to regen too, you can have a max of +20 regen stacking. &mdash; Stylva  (talk)(contribs) 18:18, 24 December 2006 (CST)

 * Someone posted an awesome long post why mesmer are horrible in pve: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10129170. If I really were to compete against someone as good as myself, he will be beat whatever purpose I would be there for. I can still get in pve group because of my experience, skill, and kindness/openmind of some players. Personally I believe the only way they could improve a pve Mesmer is to change the fast cast attribute and improve several skills. Fast cast should be for all skills (even signets!), and the higher your fast cast rank is, the quicker the skill recharge. BTW, "Mantra of Inscription" would just speed up even further the recharge of signets. And to name just a few skills, "Chaos Storm" could be changed to affect the entire area, cost 10 nrg, and do more damage if someone cast a spell. "Echo" and "Arcane Echo" could have a shorter recharge based on the fast cast attribute. --Icyangel Strawberry 17:06, 16 March 2007 (CDT)

Trivia
For everyone who thinks the Mesmer to be named after the term 'to mesmerize' should know that "mesmerize" itself is taken from Franz Anton Mesmer. --Saranis 23:12, 11 February 2007 (CST)
