Been working on this non-stop since the update so feel free to suggest stuff if I've missed anything :) I have soloed Gunther a handful of times with this, once with the gate closed :) Mr  Metal  FLower  -... tlk  00:24, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

Does Mind wrack triggers everytime Chaos storm triggers? If so, that foe loses 3 energy (2 from chaos storm and 1 from mindwrack) and damage from mind wrack is 3x25=75. Every second. Chaos storm is on for 10s so 75x10=750 damage. Am I right?--ValeV 10:04, May 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * From what the skill says, no, you're not. "...whenever this foe is the target of one of your Mesmer skills" means you have to target them with a skill. Casting Chaos Storm on them will trigger it, even if they never get hit, but they could stand in a hundred Chaos Storms and not take any Mind Wrack damage (if they had the energy to stay above 0, ofc). Further, causing a foe to lose energy in any other way (e.g. ESurge, Feedback) does not cause extra Mind Wrack damage, unless it drops their energy to 0 or below, which triggers the ending effect.

put into testing?
this isn't getting very much attention, should I just put it into testing anyway and hope for the best? :( Mr  Metal  FLower  -... tlk  16:06, May 23, 2010 (UTC)

 * Woo, gratz on it being voted through...took freakin long enough. Abysal 20:09, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Mind Wrack...
It was nerfed ages ago, looking at the notes it says to be used for "heavy e-denial". Is this still viable for the main build? 91.105.240.164 17:39, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I was gonna change it pretty soon. Since the nerf I've been running this without it. Will drop it for another optional, personally I usually run IoP, Ethereal Burden and Inspired Hex. MrMetal   FLower  [[Image:Mmf_ohno_sig.jpg|60px]] 17:57, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

Brainless Wastrels Spammers

JQ Version
This caps quarries well. I will admit it has difficulty with Ranger shrines if you can't nail a PI on Power Shot or Pin Down. Additionally, the interrupts help it defend. Diversion is for lols. I won't pretend this is better than ROJ though. Lazuli 01:26, September 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Apart from cry of frustration, I was about to suggest that exact bar for FA - diversion > everything. -- [[image:Chieftain Alex Sig.jpg|19px]] Chieftain  Alex  13:43, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * If I may suggest something...
 * At 16 Domination, 12 Fast Casting and 6 Command I have found that while this doesn't have the condition/hex removal an RoJ monk can bring. It in fact caps faster than RoJ AND they can not scatter due to being knocked down.-Abysal (I can't login atm so...)
 * Probably don't need MoR, Chaos Storm is rarely rupted. Kracatoan 07:25, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

this build
whopps ass. 'nuff said.

ironicly, its meta in JQ.
like, i see atleast 3 mesmers per round with this, ive been in a round with 7.68.227.201.162 04:17, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Panic as elite?
Never tried this, but Panic could be hella useful. It makes gatebreaking messier than PI (scatter, random skills getting through and breaking Wastrel's), but should debilitate the kurz side once everyone storms green, since people are pretty close (there's always healers who ball up at the edge of casting range on Gunth, between him and the shrine).

 * wasn't that great when i tried it, even if you hit balled people, there's no one on your team to push kills or force them to actually use skills.-- Relyk 03:48, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Elite
Never seen anyone run anything else than PI. Pblock is a nice variant, as well as Esurge, but the mainbar should be PI. Miharo 13:23, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
