Guild Wars 2

This draws on many others’ ideas in particular PyroAthiest and Osicat are inspirations.
A tip of the hat to The Blackwater Mesmer as well.

The name refers to the Searing of Ascalon. This build feels a bit like my GW Mesmer/Ranger

6/4/4. Domination II, V, XIII. Dueling III, X. Chaos V, VIII

Runes are Traveler’s for WvW movement.

Utilities: Signet of Domination, Mantra of Distraction, Arcane Thievery, Moa

Weapons: Scepter/Pistol and Staff. Alternative Scepter/Pistol and Sword/Focus.
Second alternative sacrifices one interrupt for a block Scepter/Sword and Staff

The idea is that this gives 4 interrupts ( 5 with Temporal Curtain ) 1 signet, 2 mantra hits and Magic Bullet. In the Mists practice area I’m finding my clones dying often so I’m using the on death traits.

Halting strikes for the interrupt damage.

The on block agony is a nice sideline.

Initial results seem promising. Feedback?

EDIT: 5 and 6 interrupts. Diversion Dazes so you can interrupt on shatter.

First post the entire build including gear.

The Armor is all Council Ministry. CM reward armor with Vitality, Healing and Condition traits. I’m using Superior Runes of the Traveler because I need the speed boost for WvW. They also increase my condition output some, + 10% condition duration.

My Trinkets are all ascended with mostly power/toughness traits.

I’m currently using a Sigil of Doom on the pistol I’ll be adding energy sigils.

Having Wastrel’s Punishment in the Domination line is icing on the cake.

Interrupt, Shatter, Rinse and Repeat.
