Guild Wars 2

Here is a build that works decent for me

The amulet I am currently using is the new seeker’s amulet(power precision ferocity concentration). It may not be the best choice. Marauder/Destroyer/Berserker all have their merit.

The first question that came to mind when I considered the new amulets (the concentration part) was how can this benefit X build.S

So in the instance of a power shatter build, since ALL of your damage happens in a tiny window of instant burst before you enter a hefty cooldown phase (allowing your might stacks to expire) does this amulet serve?

The follow up question then is: would you be better off finding ways to maximise that small window of instant burst instead (i.e. berserker)?

Alternativly, you could maximize the presence of might by adding in other sources of damage (condi’s) without changing your general premise and amulet choice.

The ongoing presence of long duration might stacks will allow the condi’s in the build to work magic long after you’ve power combo’d.

Yeah, Berserker + Pack/Scholar might still be better in the end.

I need to play a few more games to see how high might stacks I can get. But initial burst is almost always more important.

Well maim will still net you more damage than might on shatter will, even with a berserker ammy. So by swapping to maim and toying with your might etc, you’ll allready be in a better position damage-wise.

Hmm i usually wvw but i’ve seen a lot of power mesmers running illusion+1 for the might stacks with some boon duration.. It’s pretty good and the reduced cooldowns make the fights really smooth. I’ve also tried an interrupt build running chaos for might stacks on interrupt and it stacks might a lot faster but its a big sacrifice as chaos with power stats is kinda awkward.
