Guild Wars 2

I’m currently in a 1 vs 1 Tournament with my guild. So far, a pistol/shield, condition, elixir build has worked great against just about everyone except Illusion berserker Mesmers. I believe they use greatsword and swap to a pistol with something else. Their Illusions do so much damage, then add to it the blasted Moa elite, I’m toast. I’m looking for any ideas or help. Thanks!

If you’re not banning Moa in a 1v1 tourney you’re doing something very wrong.

Unfortunately we are too far into it to consider banning it now. However, it’s something I will push to have banned for our next tournament.

I’m not a complete authority on eng vs mes, but in the fights I’ve had with mes 1v1, I’ve found blocking/CCs help somewhat. Zerker GS mes can be a pain to deal with, so your best bet is to attempt CCs (Moa, btw, has a stun skill), then unload your conds on them. Supply Crate’s 2 sec stun is handy for this as is Shield #2. You might also try rifle for the knockback/immobilize.
