<pvxbig> [build prof=Mesmer/Ele Illusion=12+1+1 fastcasting=12+1][Diversion@14][Power Leak@14][Power Drain@14] [Shatter Enchantment@14][Inspired enchantment@14][Signet of Illusions][ward against melee@14][resurrection signet][/build] </pvxbig>
Equipment[]
- Defensive sets.
- Efficiency sets.
- Health Armor.
Usage[]
- Try to time diversion to take out key skills, or use it to create windows where the target won't cast.
- Interrupt key skills with Power Leak or Power Drain.
- Remove enchantments to help with spikes.
- Use Ward to help with melee pressure
- Always keep Signet of Illusions up. Don't let it get diverted or D-shot.
- Keep in mind that Signet of Illusions can be canceled with no penalty. Use this to fake interrupts if you have to.
- You can use Inspired protection skills, like Aegis or Protective Spirit to help relieve pressure or catch spikes. It can also be an effective way to relieve pressure vs a team using tainted flesh.
Counters[]
- Anything that can shut down your signet will pretty much make your build worthless. Diversion on your signet basically means you go run a flag.
- The usual interrupts on your domination skills or your ward still apply.
Variants[]
- Glyph of Lesser Energy for resurrection signet, if your team has enough resses in the rest of the build
- Cry of Frustration in place of Power Leak, for a hard interrupt with a shorter recharge.
Notes[]
This build is essentially giving up its elite slot for a ridiculously long ward. If you don't feel this is worth your elite slot, you're probably right.
