This is blow through NM content faster than probably anything in the game.

#

As for HM content, it slaps everything in the FOW and DOA like it isn't there.

# 
Its a .zip file with 
8 NM builds & 8 HM builds.

Ashlee's 6 Mesmer Heroic Refrain

# 
Heroic Refrain is providing up over +75% dps to your Mesmers in most cases.  Having Fast Casting at 20 drops cooldowns by 40% on mesmer skills.  On top of that an Essesnce of Celerity will reduce cooldowns to 60% on mesmer skills.  40/40 sets reduce the cooldowns on domination skills by an additional 20% average.  

Which means you can achieve 80% cooldown reduction on domination skills.  Esurge's 15s cooldown is reduced to 3s like this.
# 
The high energy demand of the builds is further mitigated by the paragon providing 8 energy every 5s through Lyric of Zeal.  And an additional 6 energy for each signet used on the team.  This fuels your dps and your healer and is significantly better than doing damage with your paragon.
# 
Empathy alone can boost a mesmers dps output by 8%.

Aneurysm is needed for fast spiking on health bars.
Esurge + Aneurysm on this team can bring a 1200hp HM enemy down to 0 in 1.2s and do this repeatedly.
# 
Protective Spirit lasts for 17s. This means you can precast if needed or even hotkey micro your whole team to precast and maintain prot spirit for the entirety of fights.

Bladeturn Refrain gives the entire team a 25% chance to block incoming attacks. 

Save Yourselves additional +100 armor is around an 80% dmg reduction when its up.  

It's okay to swap "Save Yourselves" for "There is Nothing to Fear".
# 
Ether Fest is important to have on your Resurrect Mesmers since they're the ones who will keep the team alive in the worst case senario.

Mesmers Rarely ever need or even use Ether Fest.  During testing in a 45min VQ, mesmers only used Ether Fest an average of 6 times compaired to using Esurge 85 times.  

It's a near useless skill to have but perfect as a backup heal if your bip gets taken out.
