Thusly, I'm not the normal mesmer you tend to see. In fact, I've been called crazy, a noob and an oddball on many occassions when people see this build. Go ahead and say so, because it works well and your comments dont really bug me.
First off: I hate Majors and Superiors, thusly, I only use Minors. I suppose this build would be alot more powerful with those runes, but I dont like the health cost needed.
Fast Cast 5+1+1
Dom: 10+1
Illus: 10+1
Air: 10
Energy Surge {E}
Energy Burn
Chaos Storm (used less since the patch)
Conjure Phantasm
Phantom Pain
Lightning Strike
Envenerating Charge
Chain Lightning
This is a PVE Build. I dont do much PVP, and when I do its not with this.
I always start out by Surging the Mob. Usually right after comes the Chain, get to get the damage heavy on in the first few moments. Switching targets is obviously the key with this build. The point is to get as much damage going on as many targets as possible so that the whole party has an easier time of dealing the majority of the damage. I usually pick on the monk first. Using my Lightning spells to really cut into their armor, then if a tank is near by using Charge on him to give him weakness. Conjure and Phantom are used on one target first, then Conjure is cast again on someone else when it has recharged. Usually, when using this build and going along with a hench party most aggro encounters dont last long enough for anyone to take considerable damage.
Chaos, since the patch, is only cast as needed, and usually just to get the warriors away from the casters.. or me. It used to be a lynch pin in the build but it has become less so, and is better off being used on a monk in regular situations because it causes the monk to break off whatever they were doing and run away. Leaving the others heal-less for a few moments. Surge is used when ever I can, and Burn usually right along with it on the same target. I tend to take some time to let the Exhaustion wear off before I cast Chain again.
The masks I wear change depending whether I think I'm doing enough damage or not. Thus being able to change Dom or Illusion to 12 instead of 11.
