Guild Wars 2

Been thinking on these two,which would work better in WvW with equally skilled players would a confusion build win or a condition bunker when fighting 2 or 3 people.

This is the condition bunker

vs

confusion

(I really do not know if its the best confusion build but it was the best I could found)

Tried both and I think Condition bunker works better when handling multiple people and works 1vs1 perfectly.Need advice from a skilled mesmer.Been only playing my mesmer for a month

made it to play exactly your scenario: 1-3 vs 3-15^^
having good times with it and can’t find a better (more fun for me) build to roam in wvw solo.

imo the confusion build you linked is very good in teamfights but is a little bit weaker solo.

Hey that’s my confusion build works great solo, infact there are a good 16 videos on my channel of me running with that build solo, in 1vX I think my highest so far is 1v6.

Thhe challenge with a confusion build like mine is the level of macro you will need to do.
At a beginner level it’s dump everything and hope for the best, the good thing is most of the time you come out on top.
At an intermediate level your synergising dumps to maintain a high stack for prolonged periods, and at an advanced level it’s all about holding of and placing stacks before the enemy is about to do a button combo, lots of getting into their head and forcing their move
If your long for a challenging build that will giver you gratification to start with and as you grow it will open up more challenges, then try out the confusion build, the great thing is it also scales in party sizes

P.s. check out the video title – 26.10.2012 Mesmer Play.
At the 52second mark to see how high you can punish someone in a 1v1.

(I’d link it but on my iPad atm)

How good would that confusion build work in PvE dungeons and in fractals?

i went from phanty dps gs build, to condition bunker staff, to a build similar to kylia…
i think the confusion build is LEAST viable for 1v1/2

but its by far the best for zerg vs zerg stuff
or defending a gate

the phanty dps and bunker both do great 1v1, 1v2, condition bunker being able to 1v3 or 1v4 and survive long enuf to annoy them and make them leave, or get backup

just from my experience

everytime im set up for 1 build, i wish i were the other, and then i consider going to my ele who can 1v?!?!?! and do just fine
sigh

mesmer is my fav tho

Confusion just plain sucks in PVE.

Confusion just plain sucks in PVE.

truth!
they need to tweak confusion for pve
it needs to last twice as long and do twice the dmg or something
its just silly how useless it is in general pve play
