There's a lot I have to learn about mesmer's though so this is likely to change, but I think at least some of it is a keeper and I see if the rest makes sense as I go.
@ Mel that build actually looks pretty solid, I'd have a staff as your secondary slot for some long range damage but the traits and utilities seem about right.
@ Devastator also a pretty solid build, i'd go with muddy terrain rather than frost trap as your snare though.
Slaan you don't seem to have picked any skills so I can't really comment on how good that build is.

Is my focus on signets excessive?
In this case there's tons of synergy between four specific powers (plague signet, consume conditions, unholy feast, signet of spite) at least, but dunno about my other classes lol. Oh, and cool, didn't see the staff's "putrid mark"... that works well with my condition control based schema.

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

I like the passive effects, and the 20% recharge reduction means I'll have less wait between use and regaining the passive effect (48 instead of 60 seconds, and 72 instead of 90 seconds)...
Though I wonder-- do you get the passive efefcts even while the power is recharging?

I would assume no; Elementalists get "Set in Stone", which specifically states that the Passives stay active even after you use them.
Figured out what class I am going to play:
I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.

Yeah the puzzles seem a little too forced for me but it's always good to have variety in gameplay.
News came in early this morning that the game will be sort of region locked, if you buy the North American version then you can only play from North America (but you can play on any in game server) or if you buy the European version you can only play when you are physically in European countries.

Apparently regions without their own data-centres will default to being NA copies. The lack of asian/oceanic data-centres is confusing at the moment as NCsoft is based in South Korea but only time will tell how things will work out.

I'm blowing most of last months paycheck on collectors, I'll be up all monday night so I can order it exactly when it goes on sale.
I have the page for collectors edition on zavvi bookmarked, my account auto-logged in as well as my payment and delivery details already entered. I just need to hit "add to basket" and "buy".

An interesting possibility has come to light, due to the public backlash towards region-locking people have theorised it was a political move of sorts by Arenanet. Region locking and other distribution elements are all handled by NCsoft (the publisher of GW2) so it's possible that Arenanet made the announcement purely so they could be like "yeah everyone hates it" to NCsoft to get their own way.
Be very careful about pre-ordering, pre-orders don't get beta access or 3 days head start so unless pre-orders are upgraded to pre-purchases on the 10th avoid pre-ordering.
