Guild Wars 2

Hey all so I fought a Mesmer on mags and he gave me a link to a page here on the forums but even after typing it in exactly I couldn’t find it. the title is Confusionless-WvW condition build. Or something of the sorts. Anyone know what build he was talking about. Just curious if any one can link it plz and thanks.

so why do you want a confusionless condition build? OK, the dmg is reduced, but cmon, its a condition that does dmg and is far from useless in WvW.

A condition Mesmer without confusion… no, no , no, no… thats a shame imho.

I’ve seen someone use the build and its pretty sweet he emailed me a thread that has the build in the forums but when I search for it I come up empty

perhaps something like this:

Yep, that link that skcamow sent you is the one I tried to send you, jportell. I’ll be adding a new video to the thread today that gives a good comparison of how the build fares pre and post-bouncing logic change. As you’ll be able to see, the damage in lower after the switch, but not by a huge margin.

And blutstein: I understand you skepticism at a condition build that doesn’t use confusion, but I’ve found that post-nerf, confusion only kills players who spam buttons. Against skilled players it does very little and isn’t worth shattering the clones that are providing burns/bleeds to get.

Yeah.. But in that build you have a traited Staff AND Deceptive Evasion.. It wouldn’t hurt at all to throw confusion shatters into the mix when you can almost immediately replace them. Its just additional damage.

That’s true to some extent. I find that shattering though works against Debilitating Dissipation. I’ve practiced enough that I can control the position of my clones to some degree, so I often find it more beneficial to replace the clones and get bleeds than to shatter them. Others’ mileage may vary, though.
