So I think I came up with something quite interesting. The theme of the build is mostly provide support via condition removal and granting resistance to allies. It can also survive on it’s own.

Without further ado, here’s the build
http://dulfy.net/gw2traits#build=AgME7AJsA-w~

It uses Celestial Amulet, weapons: Staff and Scepter/Sword, sigils: Energy, Doom, runes: Runes of the Pack, utilities: ether feast, null field, blink, feedback, time warp.

Playstyle:
versing other zerker builds, play normal as a shatter build, versing tankier builds, try keeping sword and staff phantasm up to deal sustained damage.

I’m also thinking of choosing medic’s feedback over persisting images for more glamours.

So what do you guys think?

Sorry I rarely post/browse on the forums so please don’t rage if this build is already out there

kitten you! I was going to post a glamour build quite like this. Although, I’m aiming for sword/pistol once the Duelist’s Discipline trait properly applies bleeding.

Some things worth noting: With 5 of stability each time you shatter, do you really need a stunbreak? Especially since you’ll be shattering often. Blinding Dissipation is also a great trait. It practically grants you invuln for an attack. DE is really key to this build, since a lot of survivability comes from shattering. I run with Adventure runes and Mirror heal/energy sigils, so my endurance is always plentiful. Bountiful Disillusionment and f2 shatters help with that too.

Damage mostly comes from conditions from staff clones and reflects. If you’re playing with a team, it might be worth it to swap out blink for portal.

Another option, if running blink, is to forego the chaos line and go into illusions for some torment/confusion damage. That probably works better for Solo-Q, but you’ll lose out on chaotic dampening, which, after this nerf, might be a worthy sacrifice.
