Oh, i thought that might have been some kind of GW2 lore character.

Some ideas are cool, but is too much pvp-oriented IMO.
In a PvE contest why would you ever take this spec? Not for supporting team, neither for doing more damage…
I mean, tier2 and tier3 traits are absolutely usefull in PvE

I’m assuming that usefull was a typo for useless since it sounds like you don’t like this spec for PvE? I would have to disagree though.

A Sc/P condi mesmer does ok condi DPS once 3 phantasms are up but wind up time for phantasms is a huge problem for Mesmers in PvE. Similar issue for power mesmer dps.

Tier 3: First act giving all current phantasms a 2 for 1 deal is huge in that regard. A Pistol 4/SotE/4 combo would be a huge damage boost for Mesmers allowing for a burst of 4 vollies and having 3 phantasms up quickly.

Duelists Discipline: 50% chance to bleed with pistol attacks. This would now apply to pistol 1/2 as well now.

Tier 2: The heavy hitter here for PvE: Order in Chaos: Torment to enemies when you gain might. PS warriors and heralds are a thing in PvE and they give Mesmers a ton of might per second. Sigil of strength would become stronger than sigil of earth here.

Those 3 combined with make this elite spec a cornerstone of a very strong condi Mesmer in PvE. Dueling, Virtuoso and illusions. More bleeds than the current condi build and a TON of torment too. P/P and SotE for heal. Maybe the elite depending on the CD for even more damage. Two signets are obvious choices for condi builds.

Most of the utilities/stances don’t have CDs and numbers in general so it’s hard to judge but those are pretty PvP focused and potentially way too strong in their effect. Like too strong to the point that they would have to be nerfed hard or have ICDs that would make them terrible. Also not a fan of new F5s. Really want new F1-F4s for future elite specs.

Don’t forget Tier1, as 2 of traits would be pretty good for P/P builds in pve.
