So, what skills does everybody use with their characters?
I have a Ranger/Mesmer. From the Ranger side, I specialise in Markmanship and Wilderness Survival, with a bit of Expertise thrown in for cheaper spells. Wilderness Survival is useful for Troll Unguent, for healing or counteracting spells that drain your health. It's also good for Ignite Arrows - it does a fair bit of extra damage for the energy, especially against groups.
The only Marksmanship skill I'm using at the moment is Favorable Winds - it lets me do a bit more damage at little cost, just so long as the enemies don't use arrows!
From the Mesmer side, I only use Domination spells, but I find that line quite useful. Backfire and Empathy make enemies take damage when they cast spells and attack respectively, so they help deal a fair bit of damage (or discourage humans from doing things). Spirit Shackles makes the enemy lose energy when they attack, which can disable a caster fairly quickly. Similarly, Energy Burn takes away energy and health. I used to use Chaos Storm, but creatures tend to move out of the way - I suspect it would be virtually useless against human players.
The last slot is used either for a Ressurection Signet, or Signet of Capture.
Any suggestions about that build? What do you all use in your builds?
