This build has been designed for the following use:


Farming build based on the low health point survival strategy combined with mesmer hexes for damage dealing. The Visions of Regret variants benefit from dealing area damage and can be used to farm groups of foes, whereas the echo variants are faster at killing single targets like boss foes.
A Speed Boost Hero can optionally be used to reach farming locations faster.

Attributes and Skills

You activate Spells and Signets 40% faster. (No effect for non-Mesmer skills with a cast time less than 2 seconds.)
In PvE, the recharge time of your Mesmer Spells is reduced by 33%.

  • Damage:
    • Hex targets with Visions of Regret abd Pain Inverter, Empathy or Backfire so they die from action punishment.
