Hey all,

I was thinking about a combination of PU and Illusionary Persona for wvw/roaming and would like to have some feedback from more experienced Mesmers:
Build

I usually play shatter builds but was impressed by the large amount of defense you get from PU. Why dont use both? The main problem should be the lack of Deceptive Evasion (omg, Shatter without this trait?!)

Short description:
• iLeap, phantasms and sword/scepter block to generate illusions for shatter
• lot of boons from PU+stealth
• even more boons from Bountiful Interruption, triggered by Diversion and Counter Blade
• might stacking through sigils, shatter and interrupts to compensate lower power and critdmg
• you can easily run away if you meet an zerg, thanks to Traveler runes, shorter cooldown on Blink and stealth

I tried this out the last 2 days and it worked fairly well. Heavy condition-dmg makes some trouble (PU mesmer, condi engi) as well as extremly tanky warriors.

Of course this „build“ needs further testing, but i think it´s quite promising. I would really like to have some feedback from the Mesmer-forum Pros, though.

Thanks to all of you in this forum for interesting builds for my favorite class and inspiration. ; )
