Guild Wars 2

Hi guys.
First of all, sorry for my bad English.

I currently play a Mesmer in pvp with interrupt based build. As you can see in the title, I was wondering all day for about a month and tested a lot of changes.

Here is my question.
Is Chaotic Interruption worth? Your first answer is probably “depends on your playstyle or build” so i put quick summary of my build.(probably someones existed build though:) who can create totally new builds right? Anyway, I’ve been looking it around but as far as I understand is that it’s only tiny extra lock down with immobilize+chilled/blindness/crippled(one of these). But When you daze,stun, or any interrupts your enemy, you already KIND of gave them for the moment. They could respond with instant condi remove for anything except stun though.

CI is grandmaster trait. So I thought there were more uses than I can think of.
If I can drop the CI, I can go more DPS or change it to Bountiful Interruption(5 might for 13 sec).

Any advice or your thoughts?

By the way, my build is like,,

20-halting strike, greatsword training
20-blade training, dodge clone trait
30-reduce manipulation cd/ random condi with clone’s killed/ Mirror of anguish(for thieves venom+combo and stuff)/BI/CI. I pick 3 of those and trying to figure out what are the best.
0
0
gs/sw-p (battle/ energy sigils or bloodlust)
zerk amulet.

Only pvp.
Main purpose is kill. Don’t care about sharing boons or supporting now.

I would really appreciate if you give me good suggestion without dropping survivability or pure damage. Also since I put 20pts into domination, I feel like I’m wasting the 20% condition duration. But I don’t want to drop my power either,,,

Thank you:)

I think you mean Chaotic Interruption??
Not being an active PvP-player and just looking at the trait effect I think it highly depends on the order of the conditions applied.

The 2 seconds chill doesnt have any effect over the 2 seconds immobilize cause the they are active at the same time (and no use for 66% speed reduction if you can’t move at all).

The 3 seconds blind is only effective against casters cause melee is immobilized anyways. The crippled last 3 seconds but is as the freeze mostly useless, besides the last second.

But, if the secondary effect is always the last applied condition it is an excellent cover for the immobilze. removing multiple conditions is always more pricely then removing one.

Off course for the rest its effectiveness highly depends on the rest of your build. If you hardly ever interupts, then its no use.

Thank you for the fast respond mercury and yes Chaotic Interruption.
My main damage resource is Phantasm auto attacks. And I do interrupt often.(almost the biggest focusing)
I don’t want to go shatter based build with glass armor.
GS#5, Pistol#5, shatter#3, possibly daze signet. those will be the interrupt resources.
And yes I think those conditions don’t make sense. What I mean here is that when you interrupt your foe, they have to go afk for a second(not exactly though)
0——————1——————2———-2.5———-3—————3.5————-4 (seconds)
[—Interrupt—]
[—————————blindness——————————————]
[——————chilled———————-]
[—————-Immobilized—————-]
[—————————-crippled——————————————]
And I tested that those conditions applied start when I interrupt them. Not after interrupt motion end. So it is actually 2.5 sec blind,crippled/ 1.5 sec chilled&immobilized are the possible effective duration.
I can kill bad players so easy but also often killed by rank 50~60 thieves in 4~5 sec.
Therefore I’m having hard time dealing with high regen warriors/ necros/ zerk thieves.(any of good players)
Is interrupt+phantasm build viable? If I take out the CI, am I going troll non purpose build?
Additional description about my build,
decoy/blink/x/mass invis (x is what I change everyday)
runes— hoelbrak or strength(I know that +%damage doesn’t impact to illusion’s damages)

Sorry it’s becoming entire my build help:(
But what I really want to hear about is
“I’m focusing on Interrupt pure damage build, do I need Chaotic Interruption?”
what do you think?

One of my guildies plays a pretty glassy interrupt build for WvW with Staff/Sw+F and it works great with CI trait, especially with Chaos storm.
