Hi all,
Long time mesmer wanna be but never took the time to do it. Looking for a fun condi class, and heard amazing things about a dire condi build for mesmer. How is this in wvw? As that’s my main game mode. Both roam and zerg.
Thanks all!

Rabid > Carrion > dire.

Mesmers perform well with lots of precision and toughness, since traits give condition damage off toughness + undead runes. Also clones get more sturdy with toughness and not vitality.

Precision for the dueling ability that inflicts bleed on crit hits.

Additionally, precision > power for mesmer in general (i dont know why, but assassins is preferred over zerker).

Mesmers have lots of condition removal with inspiration so don’t worry about that. Condi mesmer is fun to spam sceptor 3 with, but some other profession can probably do it better. I do my best with the wanderers amulet in sPvP, dunno if it would fly in Eotm.

Because reflects. I don’t think this is still the case nowadays.

Condie Mesmer in zergs is pretty awful. There’s 2 tricks you can do to try and make it work. Guardian runes allow you to use your shield block as a burn applier by walking through aoe with it up. This is…quite gimmicky and doesn’t accomplish much outside of being decent for tagging. It also consumes your runes with a set that isn’t great for roaming.

The other thing you can try is using mistrust. Hypothetically, mistrust can be incredible in a tightly packed group environment as every interrupt will spread confusion to all nearby enemies, resulting in an amplified effect. Unfortunately, this rarely actually works. There’s too much stability for you to reliably land interrupts, and it’s too rare for your disables to actually interrupt on the off chance you don’t hit stability. It can work, and now and then it’s really fun to see massive confusion procs, but it’s extremely rare to occur.

Condie Mesmer for roaming is decent. If you want to go dire, you’ll probably want to skip the dueling line, as that’s important if you are dealing out crits. Rabid would go dueling, but not dire. For a dire build you’d probably go insp/ill/chrono for the sustain that insp offers. You could also potentially take a torch and go PU with chaos instead of insp. To make up for the lack of clone generation from DE, you’ll need both illusion generation traits in the chrono line.
