Build talk:Me/E Signet of Illusions Farmer

This build was created by a guild mate of mine who made it to farm the UW. I know, it DOES look discouraging - almost foolhardy - but it does work.LunchboxOctober 01:02, 4 March 2008 (EST)

Every time someone posts a build with the words "Mesmers can't farm..." I'm going to kill an entire litter of kittens. Mesmers are perfectly capable of farming. The reason there aren't more primary Mesmers is because their primary attribute gives no real bonus to farming anything; at best it helps dodge interrupts which hardly any mobs carry. Second, a Mesmer doesn't have skills that pump out nearly continuous damage, so you would need to rely on skills from other classes to do the job (ie skills that you can't buff with runes). That being said... This build is the sort of thing that Mesmers should be using to farm. - zomg! PANIC! 04:39, 4 March 2008 (EST)

Oh dude, the build is absolutely amazing. LunchboxOctober 16:51, 4 March 2008 (EST)

It gets around the normal problems I mentioned, so yeah it's not bad. - zomg! PANIC! 17:11, 4 March 2008 (EST)

Change name. Looks more than decent. I used such a build once, but with Sliver Armor and stuff. Rickyvantof 17:01, 4 March 2008 (EST)

I was going to suggest that, but wasn't sure how well it would go with Meteor Shower. - zomg! PANIC! 17:11, 4 March 2008 (EST)

You can use the move tab instead next time. - zomg! PANIC! 13:15, 5 March 2008 (EST)

I like this name better still. LunchboxOctober 15:15, 5 March 2008 (EST)

Deletion tag added to the other one then. Godbox 15:19, 5 March 2008 (EST)

Well, then there is no pleasing you. LunchboxOctober 16:42, 5 March 2008 (EST)

You can't have the same build four times on the page how would it look if we had 51 A/D Fox's Promise Scythes lying around? Godbox 15:33, 8 March 2008 (EST)

Hi, Im Mortise, the guildie of Lunchbox who came up with the build (ty Lunch for posting it) I can't see what all the fuss about the name is for? Its just a title. its not gonna undermine the fabric of our society. Why put a bland title on a snazzy build, seems a waste, plus a title is supposed to draw you into wanting to check the build out , if 'Singers of Woe' was called '8 Man Para FoW Team', I wouldn't have checked it out so fast. Plus with no PvX approved mesmer farming build atm, I think the title fits. And to zomg! I originally had that 'mesmer's can't farm :P' in commas to indicate irony.Drown something worthwhile..like a litter of mall goths.

Ehm right... Basically it was Lunch who created two builds with the same skill setup but under different names, and we can't keep duplicates of every build so it was a little discussion about which one to stick to.

Did smite run after Flame Dijin Haste nerf/change, a tad trickier running arch to arch, still very do-able (Mortise 23:39, 9 March 2008 (EDT))

Outta sheer curoisty, as this is the 1st build I've submitted (via Lunchbox) how long does the ratings process take, and what are protocols with updating etc. Mortise 20:21, 17 March 2008 (EDT)

Umm, it can't be rated in Trial, if you want ratings, change the tag to {{Untested-Testing|farming}}. Just update the build whenever you want, people will just revert if you do anything dumb. Rating times vary, can be rated in 5 mins or 5 months, but if you slip it into featured it will get done way quicker. - isery -TALK 08:37, 2 April 2008 (EDT)

Okay awesome thanks, I'm just new to wiki, haven't got a clue how things work around here. Might as well put her into testing and see how she performs, the skill update to Flame Djinn's haste makes it a little trickier, but it can be done the key is not to rush it.
