Why have this as a mesmer primary if you are not going to utilize fast castin? An elle primary would give you access to a higher energy pool for lesser effect but more sustained harassment/interupts. Against melee or ranged attackers this has a decent ability to put em on their but, but you are focus spamming on one target. I sugest trying a replacement of Frustration for Arcane Conundrum with Illusion as high as it is. It will slow down casters and still give you a chance to switch back to the warrior or ranger and give you chance to interupt those nasty short casting monk spells. Will take some of the bite out of the build but will give you better shutdown against all caster types. The build works, but suffers in consistancy or multiple target focus (It can handle both casters and warriors, but only 1 target at a time). Shireen 16:50, 11 May 2007 (CEST)
- Frustration is sort of the point of the build, it damages the foe whenever they are interrupted, including interrupts from Lightning Javelin. Arcane Conundrum is certainly an option, but it costs more and isn't continuously maintainable, besides Frustration has some casting slowdown as well. Tycn 02:57, 12 May 2007 (CEST)
- I sorta like this idea. knockdown and damage. =) havent tried it yet, but the concept is cool. Giangn626 03:35, 20 May 2007 (CEST)
- Erm.. guys, read closely, Fustration only damages while you interrupt a spell. Yea, if Fustration activated on every interrupt, i'd just make a Dwarvern Battle Stance warrior with fustration and pwn everyone.BaineTheBotter 17:21, 20 May 2007 (CEST)
- ...Thus i suggest the "Useage" tab be corrected accordingly, as per to the fustration part, not the Psychic Instability part. BaineTheBotter 17:23, 20 May 2007 (CEST)
- Frustration actually does trigger on any interrupt, the description is incorrect (or was incorrect the last time I used it, a few days ago). Go to the gwiki page and check the notes if you're still not sure. Tycn 08:33, 21 May 2007 (CEST)
