Hi guys. So yeah, my mesmer is level 17 and I don't know if I should go Domination or Illusion, and secondary...(He's ascended...NF guy xD)
Any help would be good.

Personnally I prefer Illusion to domination
I go ineptitude built more then anything thing is if you have NF you dont really have access to ineptitude per say thus limiting your Illusion spell unless you go with a sig of illusin approach then Your next 1...3 Spells uses your Illusion attribute instead of its normal attribute.
So this bring this up
Although they are not technically linked to attributes, Signet of Illusions will work with spells linked to the Sunspear rank and Allegiance rank title tracks. With 16 Illusion Magic, the spell will activate at a higher level than normally possible with maximum allegiance rank.
NF has my all time favorite PVE skill "cry of Pain" so according to that you should have a higher level of CoP even if SS is not maxed (have not tested it since I am max SS)
A few low cost HEX spell a couple of signet like Leech signet , Signet of Clumsiness, Energy Tap (or power drain but I prefer E-tap)
For HEX I favor Image of Remorse, Conjure Phantasm then I spike CoP (and see all the pretty yellow numbers)
For secondary I mainly run monk for the re-usable rez, but on occasion I run Rit for Gaze of fury.
my 2 cents hope it helps put
any question see me in game

Domination you can take an anti-everything build, which is of course nice if you don't know what you are facing. In the illusion you can create massige degen builds, which are more of a supporting role (hampering monk, elementalist etc). So when you go solo (with hench/heroes) I recommend domination, when you head out with a team of human players, illusion is a great way of supporting your team (they kill, you make sure the enemy can't heal themselves or kill your front liners).
Builds, depend largely on how far you are and which chapters you play, but in my opinion 1 or 2 interrupts with or damage or energy gain is nice, and bring along backfire, wastrel's worry and empathy, as an illusion mesmer migraine is a great skill (though not cappable anywhere else but in the fire island chain ring in prophecies) and conjure nightmare is a skill that scares the creeps out of almost any human player.... (though costly, so bring interrupts with energy gain).
Regards,
Michiel

Heu Micheal you can effectivelly run Illusion with H/H team,
for someone starting on with the profession Illusion is probably the easiest to get to know and since I am logged in now here is what I been using as of late
