Guild Wars 2

I have been using a hybrid dps mesmer from a build I found a while back on meta, the build focuses on bleed stacks with and average of around 40 stacks with bursts of of upto 68. I also have nice sustained regular damage from duelist and sword. I was wondering if anyone else had any other condi builds for mes that are viable in raid like scenario.

I’ve been playing around with this for some time now. The dps is good – for a mesmer. But it’s still not comparable to other condi classes (burnserker hurr dur) and you give up a lot of team support since you have to use food/runes/sigils that grant condi duration instead of boon duration and quickness.

(burnserker hurr dur)

You mean 30k burns + 8k bleeds + autoattacks that crit for more than the autos of Zerker-Mesmers? While giving decent support to your party? Peanuts! Warrior underpowered; please buff.

I have no numbers, but I think mm necro and condi engi would also out dps a condi mesmer. The advantage of mesmer however, is that his damage comes mostly from his iDuelists, meaning his dps won’t drop if he can’t attack for any reason, like green circles at VG.

I think thats another question that won’t get an answer unless we have a dps meter

You get your wish!
