Guild Wars 2

I’ve been toying with condition damage builds for a while now, trying to find a viable way to use my favorite condition, confusion, with varied results. The other day I went ahead and built a hybrid build utilizing the many interrupt options we mesmers have. This is what I’ve put together, with relative success in tPvP and sPvP hotjoins:

The sigils and runes I’m still playing with, but this works quite well. The main objective is simple: daze the opponent at the right times. If you use scepter #2 for example, and land a torment, don’t daze! Simply run around and apply as much confusion as possible. Once torment is off, daze and hope for a stun. While they’re stunned, cast your iSwordsman or a Chaos storm over them, and continue to use your many dazes to keep them at bay while letting mass conditions+your phantasms do your damage.

I’ll swap out the offhand sword for a torch sometimes, and in that case replace the 20 in Dueling with chaos, grab either staff mastery or bountiful interruption (really personal preference) and either debilitation dissipation or Illusionary defense (again, preference, but if you go ID, then I’d say run BI with it. With DD, run SM, but that’s just what I like to run)

I might install some software soon to take some videos, and maybe I’ll update and make a “how-to-play” section. Let me know what you think, fellow mesmers!
