Guild Wars 2

Atm i use http://gw2skills.net/editor/en/?fcMQJAqalspSXX8SfF17IBoH6t+8V0jHnfK/pAbB;ToAAzCqoay0koJbTumkNNqYWB

this is an p/p condition build. What i DONT want to use is … Kits.

So… if i have an p/p condition build and dont want to use kits, is there any other way to defeat mesmers as it is now?

just a hint:
1. at some point stacking condition damage is less efficient than increasing condition duration.
2. sigils share cooldown thus it is best to have 1 passive sigil (like bonus duration on a condition) and 1 proccing sigil.

example build:
explosives 10 – Incendiary Powder
firearms 30 – Rifled Barrels, Napalm Specialist, Coated Bullets.
Alchemy 30 – Fast Acting Elixirs, Cleaning Formula, HGH

now for runes you take 2x Afflicted, 2x Krait, 2x Lyssa.
Sigils 1x Smoldering, 1x of your choice
that is a total
bleeding duration: 40% runes + 10 % from explosive points = +50%
burning duration: 10% from runes + 10 % from sigil + 10 from explosive points + 20% napalm specialist = +50%

result: 3s bleed vom explosive shot, 3s burn from Incendiary Powder, 9 second burn from blowtorch if you hit at close range. just a note: the 9s burn from blowtorch will deal 6k damage in those 9 seconds with the rabid amulet and jewel.

your link is bad… but to answer your question. yes there is but cant give you details till you fix your build link.

2 things:

1. condition builds are lack luster, specially in PvP
2. you need to take another look at your utilities (net turret is a must IMO for dual pistols and heal turret > elixir H, just for starters)

Other than that it’s hard to say since mesmers come in many varieties. Which one is giving you trouble?

Also, you may have figured this out already but, don’t forget to Call Target (ctrl + T) on the actual Mesmer so you can easily pick them out from the clones.

Ok, for the bad link..
p/p
explosives 10 – chance on burning dmg when crit
firearms 30- increased range, piercing bullets,chance to get swiftness on crit
Alchemy 30- get vigor when u get swiftness,20% less cooldown on elixers, elixers clean conditions when consumed or trown

Elixer H (which i find with the elixer recharge and the boons much more effective then med kit, especially since it requires switching, rendering you useless for a small time if you want to surpass the healing done by elixer H)

Elixer B
Battering Ram (not 100% sure about this, but does work awesome vs warrior/guardian and thief)
ElixerS

rabbit amulet,rampager gem
runes of the undead and 2 times sigil of earth

problem i have with mesmers are the one that constanty have 3 clones and/or illusions around and that make me keep losing focus by stealth and other things while his summoned friends take me down.

(call target is nice, but they still have some skills that make them lose it)

Nice advice, could you maybe also give slight advice on utility skills.
Atm i surely have Elixer B and Elixer S in my build (noone is going to convince me otherwise)
But as third atm i have battering ram (which actually is way better then people say because the cripple is awesome and the blowout is quite storng vs almost every proff)…. nonetheless im having second doubts about it. So… any utility i actually should have and why? (No kits, i really dont like kits)

btw the link is good just forum is buggy, you have to copy and paste it in the adress and it works.

there is not much you can place in your last slot, either more damage or CC, everything else would be a waste. you are already deep into alchemy thus you could take elixir U to initiate a fight (but dont use it if you dont get get first hit, the debuffs might kill you) to stack alot of bleeds on the target.

So… where is the thumbs up button for CptCosmic
