  • Fails to put Power Block into proper context

Contents

This is a Mesmer build centered around the use of the elite skill, Power Block. It is meant for PvE to face casters and is particularily useful in Missions from Droknar's Forge onwards. It can also be used for PvP if the team build requires a strong anti-caster.

[edit] Usage

  • Use Arcane Conundrum to increase your chances of success with Power Block. Do not target Protection Monks! Their skills usually cast within 0.5 seconds even when hexed. Especially Curse Necromancers and Fire Elementalists are very easy targets.
  • Use Drain Enchantment on the call, especially when the target is below 80% health.
  • Use Shatter Enchantment as a finish-off for targets below 30% of their health.
  • Use Power Drain and Shame for Energy management and interrupts.
  • Cry of Frustration is your allround interrupt against groups of mobs and non-casters. Reserve for skills like Healing Signet or Troll Unguent.
  • Always be aware of your enemy. Only your Power Block can interrupt targets with Mantra of Resolve.

[edit] Counters

[edit] Variants

  • Use Diversion or Energy Burn instead of Cry of Frustration if your team build already includes interrupts.
