Pre Maim buff I made a build based on sole scepter mainhand. Was a nasty 1v1 roaming build.

Anyway when I flicked through your vid to quickly grab the relevant build info I saw that you had only 1 scepter. What you should be doing it having a different scepter in each MH slot, that way you can have a sigil on each. Doom, energy, battle, whatever.
Also this -_-u

The video seemed fine to me.. but anyways, is there any specific reason to use focus or is that personal preference? It seems like torch would be more useful.
focus because swiftness and highest damage phantasm also comes with a small reflect thus its good at ranger skitten

Different traits with shatter for confusion application, yes. Maim wasnt worth taking pre buff thus the different set up. But duel scepter with torment/confusion for damage in a roaming wvw build, yeah.
Anyway video quality was fine but it’s 7 minutes of build setup + number procs on NPC’s before the first fight vs a player. The player in question is an engie in EOTM who does nothing by AA’s with his pistol. Then there comes a fight with a thief running shortbow pistol/pistol who also does nothing but uses his AA… Your build can stack up some solid condi damage, but its waiting to get wrecked by any half decent roamer or gank squad in WvW.
One minute of build setup would have been fine (max) with 8 minutes of gameplay vid vs a variety of quality opponents to show what this build really can and cannot handle.
Ross, what do you use post-Maim buff?

Sorry, I mostly wanted to explain the build on this first video, also to Mesmers who are maybe new or just less experienced than others.. It’s a Build Presentation. Gameplay videos will follow.
It’s not a bad vid, there are worse out there. Props to moving through the gear and traits quickly and not drawing out the details in a painstakingly slow manner. Attack combos are definitely helpful to a newbie to give them some ideas. There’s some good stuff in the vid, I’m not trying to just bag on you for the sake of bagging on you.
Ross, what do you use post-Maim buff?
The Mesmer forum has a big post Maim buff thread in which people posted a variety of build variations. I put something up in there but any of the builds offered (both WvW and PvP) are good viable options.
Here’s a build link I put up
