Guild Wars 2

Hey everybody.
First, i would like to apologize for my english, i’m french but the mesmer’s forum is kind of inactive on the FR forum so i’m here now !

So, i’m playing since 3 weeks, my first character is a Mesmer and now i’m running an Osicat shatter build (Heavy 3.0).
I want some advices about this build, cause i’m loving this gameplay.
I can fight during 2-3minutes against 3 ennemys without problems, my problem is the damage/burst.
I can kill (not easily) zerg players. But that’s all. I think i’ve a real problem about my burst or other.
So, i ask you help !
Here is the Osicat’s build: http://tinyurl.com/Heavy-3-0
He is mine: http://tinyurl.com/SmX-build

Thanks for your answers !

You could try 20/20/0/0/30. It’s +200 power, +20% Mind Wrack damage, boon strip on shatters and your F3 puts 5x vulnerability per illusion.
If you want to stick to 0/20/20/0/30 you can swap staff CD -trait for bountiful interruption. I believe Osicat’s build is supposed to build high might stacks with chaos storm and focus #4 in group fights.

And don’t forget food!

Yes but i’ll lose 200 toughness.
U think 1k1 is enough?

Well, you can always change some cavalier/knight gear if you feel too squishy. But what I got from your post, is that you can survive 1vX for minutes, but lack the damage. Those 20 points in Domination help your offense a lot.

I tried this build for an hour this evening.
I’ve more damage it’s true. I had GS + Sword/pistols or focus.
I killed some thiefs/war in 1v1 but now my survivability is just .. crappy.
I don’t know if it’s the build, or my gameplay.
I think i’ll need to pratice an easier build.
Can you advice me about a build a bit easier for new players with my gear?

Honestly i would say stick to the 20/20/0/0/30 and the best practice is dying you cant surpass your limits without pushing them. A slight change you could make is switch to staff over GS then maybe try taking 10/20/10/0/30. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/mesmer/Video-GS-Roaming-Basic-Shatter-Tactics/first Here is Vash using the same kind of build as you. Dont back down because its tough just be ready to pay the armor repair bills.

it sounds good.
I’ll try it soon.
This morning i tried again my last build (0-20-20-0-30) and i had good results.
I think the problem is rly my gameplay.
But it’s sure, for tanky or high mobility class, i can’t kill them.
10-20-10-0-30 sounds like a good compromise.
I’ll try it.
Thanks
