Guild Wars 2

Ok so with the advent of 4 new builds coming out, and being asked over and over why I don’t do a [Build] post, here it is!

List of builds:

Kylia’s Glamour Build – Zerg busting Confusion Build (prepatch)
Synerfusion – Multi support scalable build.
AquaFly – Underwater combat Extrodinare
TriForce – Zerg busting Build (post patch)
Lockdown (1:1) – Combat control build Solo
Lockdown (Group) – Combat control build Group
DnO – TBA
The Challenge – TBA

So I figure I’ll do a short blurb here and then make a post for each of the builds below

More coming, I wanted to set this up and will add in everything over the next few days, and enjoy

-=Kylia’s Glamour Build=-

This is a high damage AoE build designed to punish players in a zerg situation, as it monopolises on people not paying attention to thier conditions and spamming lots of skills.
This build maximises Confusion, with the ability to burst up to 16 stacks in a period of 6 seconds, and running high condition gear allows damage outputs of confusion as high as 8k 4k a use of skill.

this build maximises the amount of people you can tag due to there not being a restriction on barrier effect skills and allows for the confusion application to effect the majority of the zerg.

This build is a low micro build in a large group situation, but in a solo or small group situation requires high micro to maximize the effect and be powerfull.

This is a highly adaptable build that is designed to support others, be it a small team or a larger force. This build scales and allows you multiple abilites, from buffing your team, to supportive healing, to being able to dish out damage.

-=TriForce=-

This is the build that has replaced the Glam build for open world large scale combat, build breakdown can be found here:

-=Lockdown (1:1)=-
This is another high macro build, that rotates around stuns, if played correctly you can chain stuns well over 10 seconds, long enough to kill them. This is the 1:1 version of the build, and with the amount of stuns you can dictate the pace of the battle, and interrupt what is needed.
Lots of damage mitigation as well including two invuls, 2 blocks and the stuns, compliment the full berserkers set that delivers a huge punch in damage

Heal – Human racial, or Etherfeast
Util: Mirror Image, Mantra of Distraction, Signet of Domination

Lockdown

-=Lockdown (Group)=-

The Lockdown 1:1 build is great for those 1:1 situation (hence the name!) but when you end up with more opponents or are running in a group, it falters, as such I have come up with a modified Lockdown build that is designed for when you are running with a group, to be able to offer the support of stun’s to a group to shift the tide of battle at the right moment.

-=The Challenge=-

:-) can’t wait to try the new ones all out.
i’m sure there will be a lot of “we’re about to do something epic!”
and “sooooo many lotbags!”

does 4x sigil of paralization stack?

nokra.9123:

does 4x sigil of paralization stack?

Well the two do, after all you only have 2 sigils activated at once

If asuran, you could swap your mirror images for techno babble for yet another daze.

Aye, darn Asuran’s oust the Humans!

This is why I love mesmers. They have so many options and when perfected these builds can’t be killed by anyone but mesmer. <3 stun builds.

very true.even though i do miss the confusion dmg a lot, i like experimenting with new builds and kylia always comes up with something epic.

I think I can make the AquaFly build. The problem is that my computer is too lame to record.

Now, the build should be made AROUND aquatic fight or DEDICATED to it?

Whichever you prefer, I’ve got a dedicated one

I feel confident on being your next interviewee…

Don’t release the triforce please, we had enough nerfs.

Static bonus sigils don’t stack. So the double paralysation’s a waste. Also, in your video, it’s Distortion grants reflection, not retaliation. This means when you activate distortion, you reflect the projectiles that are hitting you.

Thanks for the feedback! 100% correct with the Distortion, I swear its not because the two words are similar
In regards to the static bonus sigils, with paralysis, we have done testing and did find an increase in the time, so not sure if that is a bug then..?
Either way, as all builds, they are there as a base and allow others to modify and create and thanks for taking the time to watch and check out my builds.

Ahh okay, it might’ve changed since I last tried the same thing with paralysation sigils. Did testing a couple months ago when I was making a similar stun build, even checked wiki etc. They’re not supposed to stack. But hey! I’m not complaining

added AquaFly

Dear Kylia,

May I join AVTR so I can get the TriForge build? I am in FA, and I have a mesmer.
Or contact me in game.

Cheers
Occasional Commander Cameid of FA

Well hello community!

Its time to release the Triforce build, as I am sure most of you know I love doing things with the community (eg. Aquafly) so I’m setting a goal, triforce will be released at the 400 subscriber rank on my YouTube channel. You control when its released ( 89 subscribers to go) the video is ready to go, and I’ll switch it on as soon as we get there.

But Kylia is this just a way to get more subscribers? I guess so, 400 isn’t a lot considering that my confusion build had over 8.5k views :o

You control its release, and probably the next Mesmer nerf as well

323 and counting

You might have to release a new build by the time you get 400+ subscribers.
Just sayin’…

lol, well it really only takes one guild to go, hey guys subscribe up :P

I’d love to be able to release it to my current subscriber base (reward for supporting me, but youtube doesn’t let you do that :/ )

347, 53 to go!

I’ll also record my DnO build video this weekend as well!

Thank you everybody who subscribed, was a subscriber or got others to subscribe, we are not at 400 but why wait any longer, its now up on my YouTube and I’ll be posting it up in this thread in 24 hours.
Enjoy!

Lockdown, Synerfusion, Triforce all still very viable after patch.
I will be placing up some updates to Lockdown (as its gotten more powerful with a few tweeks )

Im currently on mobile, so i cant do much… But i just wanted to mention that i really liked your videos (i watched some before) but i vompletely forgot to subscribe.

There is, by the way to make a video exclusive for subscribers!
Somewhere in video management theres a little box in which you can send a message to all subscribers, put the link to said exclusive video there, and send it.
Then, make the video “hidden” so people cant find it on your channel or while searching youtube, but rhey can only watch it if they have the link ;D. You can always set the video back to public just in case.

Cheers,
Alissah

Lockdown

I’ve been playing around with interrupt/disruption builds lately and wanted to compare against some other builds. Not sure if I missed something, but the build described in the video (30/10/0/0/30) is not the same as described in the post. Your group lockdown build is closer to this, but still goes 10 in inspiration. Can you clarify?
