So I have been playing shatter since day 1, but recently decided to try the Maximized Hybrid Phantasm Build because conditions were wrecking me and I wanted a slice of the PU pie (prismatic understanding). I found the play-style very engaging, instead of being all aggressive with the shatters I was now carefully playing the hide and seek game and letting my hard hitting phantasms do all the dirty work.

But I missed the shatters, so I made this build up combining the best of both worlds.

It has the key shatter traits such as Mental Torment and Illusionary Persona.
It has decent condition removal with the Dec10 improved Mender’s Purity. (now removes 2 conditions on heal.)
It also has phantasmal fury and sharper images for extra damage via bleed stacks and harder hitting phantasms.

I decided to duel with it and it was surprisingly effective. I start the fights playing the phantasm mesmer staying at range and summoning my phantasms, as soon as a window opens I illusionary leap into their faces and hit mind wrack/blurred frenzy. The utilities will help you stay away and recast the phantasms so you can restart the cycle again.
