I just ran 8x mesmer and it only works if your team is experienced (wins/losses were spontaneous). Also, it's kind of dumb considering 8 mesmers is complete overkill. We then ran 7 mesmers and a monk, which worked better but it's also overkill and harder to split. Ultimately 6 mesmers is the best configuration, running Superior Runes if you're manly or Minors if you're coordinated like robots. You can run two /P but it's kind of redundant and the only advantage is maintainable Stand Your Ground. Good Tactics ran basically this exact build and they managed to flawless a couple of matches before switching back to balance. So out of everything i've seen this seems to be the most efficient.

gogo write it up Rikk Panda {a.k.a. Benny Lava} They're On Fire Panda 03:24, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

FOIN. Rikk Panda {a.k.a. Benny Lava} They're On Fire Panda 03:41, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

Great for zquests, champ points, tourny points, double weekends, and any other miscellaneous lolery. Also: any suggestions are welcome; this what I can grab from obs Rikk Panda {a.k.a. Benny Lava} They're On Fire Panda 03:41, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

I understand this is just from obs but wouldn't overload be a better choice than wastrel's? Both have the same unconditional damage but overload seems to have a better payoff if conditions are met. 66.66.172.108 19:51, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah it would work, it just adds 4 more seconds in between spikes Rikk Panda {a.k.a. Benny Lava} They're On Fire Panda 21:18, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

Testing...

Ok so apparently someone randomly put this into testing... there's still some variants that can be stuck in here. For instance you can drop 2 of the Me/Mo for

  • Me/E
Spiritual Pain Wastrel's Demise Unnatural Signet Glyph of Lesser Energy Crippling Anguish Kitah's Burden Ethereal Burden Resurrection Signet
  • Me/Rt
Spiritual Pain Wastrel's Demise Unnatural Signet Echo Arcane Larceny Arcane Thievery Shame Resurrection Signet

and of course you have to switch around skills if you take that route. Furthermore, you can drop the Me/E (or a Me/Mo) and run 2 Me/A, again needing skill adjustment. This is just a template though, and you can switch up the mesmers' skills (interrupts, etc.) Rikk Panda {a.k.a. Benny Lava} They're On Fire Panda 01:57, July 15, 2010 (UTC)
