This is a phantasm build I plan on running dungeons with when I hit 80. I want to mazimize my reflects & group support, while dealing damage with phantasms.

Possible changes I’ve considered:
Duel II for phantasm fury instead of reduced sword CD.
Insp IX -> V for more phantasm hp

Would straight Zerk gear be the best bet for this, assuming I can stay alive? Perhaps some Soldier sprinkled in while I work on getting used to the build.

Hey Seras,

The build looks pretty good as it, but I’m not so sure about Mimic. I like the skill, but not so much for dungeons, a bit too situational. You may be better off with Signet of Illusions (especially with Zerker gear), or a reliable stunbreak like Blink.

I’d DEFINITELY advise Fury on phantasms rather than the sword cooldown, both are good options but the benefit of the damage boost from Fury outweighs the quicker casting IMO. Medic’s Feedback is also a really great choice since it works on fallen NPCs (It sounds sadistic… cuz it sorta is.. but you can leave the NPC downed and rezz him just a little every 10 seconds to get that feedback bubble.)

Looks an awful lot like mine: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/mesmer/Guide-PvE-Supporting-Phantasm-Build/first

Take a look at that thread. It’ll have a lot of the answers you’re looking for.

@Chaos: thanks for the input. I considered Medic’s Feedback but don’t want to sacrifice too much of my offensive capability for pure reflect. With traited focus & feedback I figured I’d have enough. But I can def see the merits of that trait.

@Pyro: I’ll take a look now. Thanks.

What gear do you suggest? Zerker with survivability thrown in as needed? What’s better, toughness or vitality for mesmers in dungeons?
