= My Builds = My first and failed attempt to share a working build:

1. Nightmare Illusionist

PvP AB offensive build using Signet of Illusions to max out any non Illusion Magic based skill. All this combined with high Fast Casting level to speed up the damage.

Attributes and Skills
[build prof=Mesmer/Monk Illusion=12+1+3 Fast_Casting=12][Signet of Illusions][Empathy@16][Energy Tap@16] [Shrinking Armor][Images of Remorse][Conjure Nightmare][Accumulated Pain][Mending@16][/build]

Equipment

 * Armor - max out your health options with survivor insignias on all armor pices, Rune of Vitae on three, Rune of Superior Vigor, Rune of Superior Illusion Magic on one-one.
 * Weapons - Use any (Illusion) Hale Staff of Fortitude

Usage

 * Before the gates open cast SoI and Mending for constant 4 pips of regen. Watch out for enchant removals and reapply in case you lost it. Also do not forget to cast it again after you resurrect.
 * Approach your enemy. Cast Empathy if facing a melee.
 * Cast any 2 degen hexes followed by Accumulated Pain.
 * Recast SoI every time you need to use Empathy, Energy Tap or Mending. Actually you can keep recasting it all the time it is available, it costs no energy, recharges fast and every time you cast it the count restarts for the next X spell.
 * Use Energy Tap in case you need energy.

Counters

 * Energy denial
 * Interrupts

Variants

 * Use Conjure Phantasm instead of Conjure Nightmare
 * Use Epidemic instead of Conjure Nightmare and use it right after Accumulated Pain to spread the condition around
 * Though it is not favored by others, if you target mainly sins you can put some extra rune for Fast Casting to outperform the sins' attack speed
