SS costs 5e and is maintainable on 2 targets with "considerable" damage, a huge AoE weakness and crit denial. I really don't think the skill is overrated at all. The defense it provides in PvP is really considerable, and for PvE I think the biggest issues are 1) heroes, 2) better player elites -- DANDY ^_^ -- 11:41, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Biggest issue in pve is that SS requires a frontliner to be effective, and frontliners get smacked with all the enchantment removal. [[image:Chieftain Alex Sig.jpg|19px|link=User:Chieftain Alex]] Chieftain   Alex  11:46, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Biggest issue in pve is it sucks when compared to other meta support builds.  RąʂKɭɘş ♣  14/f/japan  14:03, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Enfeebling Blood+Prot spirit/Shelter>this elite. I agree it's a bad choice, especially since you want damage from your elementalist elites now. Soi Sticker 16:19, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Dom bar
Few points about your comparison so far, Rask:
 * 1) You set Illusion to 16 and Dom to 15. Why?
 * 2) You mention lack of Utility space on the Dom bar. What is your definition of "utility"? Because I consider Mistrust and CoF utility. However, I would have mainbared Shatter Hex over CoF, it's less conditional and the 126 'in the area' damage is very nice; especially to a frontline (as well as important for survival in areas with threatening hexes) albeit you would need to be in range of the foe; it would likely be only useful vs melee range as a caster. Oh, and Shatter Hex's recharge is 4s. You should probably include recharge times. Soi Sticker 00:56, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Copied the bars off of their respective team pages, didn't realize you guys had the esurges set to 15. I fixed all the damage/dps numbers to fit. I never mention lack of utility on the dom bar, I clearly stated 2 is all you need, so ineptitude and esurge are both even on utility. Learn2read, and thanks for fixing the attributes alex.

 * Shatter hex is only useful on melee yo. These builds work for any class, not just frontline players.  With Love~, ♣  RąʂKɭɘş  01:03, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Not really; one copy of Shatter Hex is good anywhere, otherwise you have 0 hex removal (smite heroes suck). It's a bonus if it hits anything, but the range is big enough that it will (or you're not balling/tanking/choking properly). btw, I have adjusted my vote and concluding this whole shitstorm, bc bored. Fact being anything half-decent works in PvE so no point comparing optimal builds that are near-identical =/ Soi Sticker 01:32, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Shatter costs 10 energy, you can bring a seperate hex removal skill from another profession line on either ineptitude or Esurge builds. Only reason I would take it is on a melee as it's AoE damage + hex removal.  With Love~, ♣  RąʂKɭɘş  02:34, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * wat. 'only reason', but that's what it does... Soi Sticker 02:43, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

no mention of clumsiness or frag on the illusion bar? i'd also like to point out once again that e-denial in pve is stupid because it doesn't work. iirc, mobs have 7 +3 energy regen compared to players of the same class, unless they've changed that since i last heard.

 * Clumsiness is sort of meh, I don't take it on my inept mesmers, frag is sexy when you have conditions though.  With Love~, ♣  RąʂKɭɘş  03:23, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * That's actually why Esurge is good, Danny. It's for the damage, not shutdown. Soi Sticker 03:27, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Danny, everyone knows energy denial is pointless, you don't need to mention it.-- Relyk 03:42, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * 99 AoE damage is hardly a lot of damage iyam. Danny 08:53, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
