User:PanSola/General Purpose Distruptive Mesmer

This is my general purpose PvE build:


 * 1) Echo {Elite)
 * 2) Cry of Frustration
 * 3) Spirit of Failure
 * 4) Backfire
 * 5) Empathy
 * 6) Energy Tap
 * 7) Charm Animal
 * 8) Resurrection Signet

Attribute points go into Domination, Inspiration, and Fast Casting. The Black Widow is just there for the coolness factor.

It's a very basic build of throwing hexes all over the place. I usually echo Backfire to hit two casters, but it's very flexible and I can choose to echo anything I want as situation demands.

The following skills might get swapped in if I'm having trouble with certain areas (usually Charm Animal gets kicked out first):


 * 1) Blackout  -- Echo it, and you can completely shut down a boss for 30 sec.  Especially useful against monk bosses.
 * 2) Diversion -- Again useful for keeping a skill spamming mob down.
 * 3) Power Spike -- When lots of bad spells are flying around and I need more interrupts
 * 4) Power Drain -- When Spike isn't enough and I really need more energy too
