1st Idea: Let me compare these two builds - (Build with Boons in mind, but doesnt) VS (Build that doesnt use Boons). Whichever has higher DPS will be the one I lean towards.

Hey, Im looking to seriously get into Strike Missions and T4 Fractals, and I have 2 Ascended sets for my Mesmer. The problem Im running into, however, is how to build for the content. Ignoring any math, the problem Im having is design based. Because the "Meta" (Statistically the highest damage output) is dependent on buffs from other classes (Things like Spotter, Banners, Perma-Slow for Danger Time, etc.), Im unsure whether I should have my gear statted with those buffs in mind, or statted assuming I'll never have them. I don't have a dedicated group yet to play with, and the people I do play with have a large range of skill level. I feel like theres a "right" answer that Im just not getting, hopefully someone here will know what Im talking about and help. Thanks.

Hey, long time player but have never really been all that "social" in MMOs, looking to change that. Just looking for a guild and/or new buddies to play with and work towards some of these goals: Unlock all Fractals/Make Ad InfinitumComplete Raids (Ive never touched them)Make a Legendary weaponDo PvE Guild MissionsActually get better at the game :tongue: I'm up for playing nearly all PvE content and helping new players get acclimated, and enjoy doing PvP for dailies/track rewards/comp rewards. Here's what I have to offer to the guild, if needed: 6 char to cap (Mes, Grd, Ele, Rng, Eng, Thf), Mes and Grd have Ascended gearAll crafting to cap (Besides Scribe, but willing to cap that on my own)Commander Tag (For Map Metas)Things I Need from the Guild: Discord server (This is a must)Flexible schedule (My work hours are in constant flux atm, I may not be able to join in on Guild events depending on the time it's scheduled)Friendly/Helpful Atmosphere (Looking to get better, but also hang out and joke about)Finished/Working on Guild HallI'll be looking through the forums for Guilds looking to recruit, but if any guilds are looking to take another member please post below, or PM me on the forums/in-game. Thanks.
