Great, surprising skills for W/Me and many other Mesmer types:

ok for my mesmer / ele

i only use mesmer skills
1 empathy
2 ether feast
3 conjure phantasm
4 power spike
5 power drain
6 backfire
7 illusion of weakness
8 shatter enchantment /sympathetic visage

any pointers would be nice but this build has tended to work well for me as an all rounder - support and interupter ( or as in the dragons lair front line fighter as the party had no warriors but 4 monks instead)

Good combos I've heard about are Mesmer/Water-Ele and Mesmer/Assassin.
Might want to try either.

Me/N might be quite good too. Plenty of degen hexes and things to take advantage of. N/Me could work similarly , but you'd need to take into account which primary att you want.

Me/N: Can spam hexes and spells that take advantage of hexes/conditions quickly for quick damage.

N/Me: Much more reliable energy supply.

If I were to choose between them, I'd take N/Me for PvE and Me/N for PvP, since there's lots of deaths in PvE and PvP is all about dealing lots of damage against single targets in a short space of time.

ok for my me/n
