See this in TA every once, very strong against double physical teams and zomfgowns teams with just one frontliner. Suggestions needed, etc. Swiftslash \\

- Easy to spot by a ranger when SoM is going to be used. It's strong and all, it's just all so obvious.

- 0.5 sec cast is decently hard to int, has fast rc (dshot hurts but savage is meh) and it's a signet, fake it til you make it. Swiftslash \\

No cover for blind means your blind is going to get stripped, and now you're defenseless right next to a melee player. gg.--Goldenstar 15:09, 8 January 2008 (EST)
- Tranfer blind back whenever removed. The reapp blind whenever rc (~5-6 sec). Swiftslash \\ (contributions *sandbox) 15:36, 8 January 2008 (EST)
- Plague touch + fast recharge is more then enough. And in ra, sometimes if you're lucky they don't even have a monk that can remove blind. - Unexist 13:52, 9 January 2008 (EST)
- In TA draw is a bitch tbh, but you can always use diversion to kill it (or get your int ranger or w/e to get it). Swiftslash \\ (contributions *sandbox) 13:59, 9 January 2008 (EST)

I'm not sure if Shatter is the right skill to put there, maybe shame would be better. Also not sure if SoH+Leech is the way to go (but MoI stays either way, fast recharge on SoM is nice), maybe more "active" skills? Swiftslash \\ (contributions *sandbox) 14:01, 9 January 2008 (EST)

- Watch the mesmer chase a warrior to blind him, when he's in touch range, use dshot. I mean srsly. Railin 12:22, 10 January 2008 (EST)
- You shouldn't chase a warrior unless your monk is really bad (meaning use voice chat and tell him to kite to you). Also it's a signet so you can fake as many times as you want. Swiftslash \\ (contributions *sandbox) 16:47, 10 January 2008 (EST)
- You can fake it as many times as you want, but by the time you faked it once the warrior isn't in touch range anymore. And I don't get your point about a monk being bad. You have to walk up to a warrior to blind him, which means you see the mesmer walk up/chase the warrior before you can actually use the skill. I've played against these guys in RA as a ranger and it worked for me. Railin 17:35, 10 January 2008 (EST)
- If your monk is bad he'll kite from you. If he's good he'll kite towards you so you run less. Also only mb/dshot really hurts, and the cast time is 0.5 sec (FC could prolly be even higher, not sure about attrb) so it does actually req some skill. Swiftslash \\ (contributions *sandbox) 10:08, 11 January 2008 (EST)
- It doesn't nessicarily require much skill, you just need to keep an eye on the battlefield. It could be an 1/4 cast without FC for that matter and you'd have a decent chance to interrupt it, because you KNOW when the cast will start because you can PREDICT when the mesmer is in touch range. It's exactly like dshotting a monk after he gets up from a knockdown, as he will most likely cast something. All you need is to be aware. Railin 10:51, 11 January 2008 (EST)
- True but you can also predict when a ranger is gonna int. Use a melee weap and bash target to draw ints. Swiftslash \\ (contributions *sandbox) 10:57, 11 January 2008 (EST)

BaineTheBotter 10:11, 11 January 2008 (EST)
- B/c you fail probs. Either way, many teams don't even have an int ranger. If they do, he needs to be somewhat good to int 0.5 sec skills and multitask (many just go for monk). Swiftslash \\ (contributions *sandbox) 10:18, 11 January 2008 (EST)
blindbot stuff
A mesmer going in at melee range just to transfer blind to a target, which will get removed, is pointless. Just bring a blindbot. 147.72.67.23 10:21, 11 January 2008 (EST)
- It can re-tranfer when removed. It's got MoI for 45% faster rc (at current attrb, might still change) meaning you get off 4 blinds in just over 10 sec. You won't die unless you fail at multitasking (meaning you can't see if the warr get's dismiss'd when you're spamming div). Swiftslash \\ (contributions *sandbox) 10:28, 11 January 2008 (EST)
yeah, mesmers have 60 armor, and putting yourself in Melee range isnt very smart. Plus, the oponent can easily remove it. There are other foes that can kill you easily because of the low armor rating mesmers have.
Me/Mo is better Fer Oias 18:50, 11 January 2008 (EST)
- First of all, yes mesmers in frontline is bad, BUT you'll blind 'em so it's fine. Also if they start bashing you, means they're not going for your monk which is good. Furthermore in RA (This build is primarly intended for TA so maybe RA tag should be removed idk) condition removal and/or monks are not too common so being in frontline vs a blind warr isn't too dangerous. Also wtf@Me/Mo being better. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Swiftslash (contribs) 04:36, 12 January 2008.

Needs Rend enchant instead of Rip to counter assassin remedy covered by vig spirit and maybe Gaze of contempt also. Foul Feast is also a good option instead of Diversion IMO. But you need uber multitasking skills then.
- You won't care about Assassins when they're blinded. You blind 1-2 physicals then move to casters. --GuildofDeals 10:51, 27 March 2008 (EDT)
- Keep blind on the physicals, rip attunements off Eles and prots off whoever you're spiking. Also, you can bugger up Monks pretty good if you watch their spell casting and time Diversion to hit them just as they begin casting RoF or WoH. That part's pretty much pure luck though. - PANIC! pewpewpew! 10:57, 27 March 2008 (EDT)

- Not entirely sure. I think it might be a gwBBcode issue. In which case, this might require splitting of PvE and PvP builds completely, depending on how he PvP skill versions are implemented (for example, hovering over a skill shows both versions, or it requires tagging of PvP skills with "(PvP)" on the gwBBcode itself. — Rapta (talk|contribs) 00:25, 24 June 2008 (EDT)

- A "good ranger" will interupt a whole list of spells that you will see in Category:All working RA builds. To list a few, spiteful spirit, price of failure, rodgort's invocation, signet of humility, visions of regret, backfire, empathy, migraine, shatterstone, etc. all of which are two or more seconds in casting time, not to mention not all of them are on mesmers with fast casting. And don't forget that signet of midnight is a signet, and as such can be faked at no cost to your energy. If there is truly a good reason which signet of midnight shouldn't be run in at least RA, then we should throw out every build which uses resurrection signet. --Rach 18:48, 1 December 2008 (EST)

- The thing is all of them can be outpositioned, ie get behind something or far away from the ranger to make it harder to interrupt, whereas Sig o Midnight, well you gotta run right up to someone. --Frosty 19:14, 1 December 2008 (EST)

- I don't see any bonders in Category:All working RA builds, do you? Just because people use something in RA doesn't mean it's good. Besides, a good ranger will still notice when a mesmer is running up to the enemy monk; i.e. for Blackout. --Mafaraxas (talk) 21:33, 20 August 2008 (EDT)
- Yah, so is blessed signet, you still see monks using that all over RA. Also, use SoM on a monk or something just so the ranger doesn't notice, then plague sending over your blind to the ranger, keep the ranger blind the rest of the game, it can be done. If nothing else it should be unarchived for RA at least at the good level. --Rach 21:20, 20 August 2008 (EDT)
