Unlike other Shutdown mesmers that focus primarily on casters ( i.e Monks) this build is meant to take out any class you come up against.
Attributes and Skills
| Mesmer / Any | Attribute Rank |
| Fast Casting | 12 + 1 |
| Domination Magic | 12 + 1 + 3 |
| Energy Surge | Blackout | Diversion | Shatter Enchantment | Arcane Echo | Energy Burn | Empathy | Backfire |
Equipment
Armor: Full Attunement runes and Radiant insignias on any max armor will do.
Weapons: Anything with Halves casting time of spells. Preferrably a 1-handed staff and an offhand with +45 health to off-set the major rune.
Usage
For any melee class just use Empathy and an energy surge, if they start to use any healing skills such as their signet of healing, use blackout. When coming upon casters use Backfire then arcane echo, and use energy surge or energy burn and then use the copied version.
Counters
Any other shutdown mesmer.
Conditions
Hexes
Melee
Spikers

Everything
Notes
This build is not meant to dish out much damage, its purely group energy denial, while combing the use of arcane echo to copy certain spells such as energy burn or blackout.
