Guild Wars 2

I mix time between helping small groups and soloing camps. This build has been a ton of fun for me because I can take a camp pretty quickly, help out in larger fights, and even escape sometimes (though I tend to stay and fight).

The fighting style is pretty simple. Put out one of each phantasm on the target and then dodge and use range attack/clone generation/block skills. Interrupt with wave or bullet when possible to stop heals.

If things go poorly, use a stealth and let the phantasms do their work.

In a group, veil when entering a fight and mass invis at the right moments are just really fun to turn the tide of a battle. Even in larger scale fights, getting both the duelist and the zerker out combined with greatsword auto-attack or scepter 3 can let you hit quite a few targets and burst down an enemy pretty quickly.

I’m curious what other people who like to solo camps use as their Mesmer build.

Thanks

this build seriously misses any condition removal!
if you can ensure that you only fight the guards of the camp it might work.
otherwise…

edit: i do not count your sigil of generosity as this is random

I dunno, I just run a full zerk phant or shatter build. If I go shatter, I pull as much as I can so if I go down I can rally. If I go phant, I sit back and let my phants kill while I eat dinner.

@Fai – the conditions when fighting guards at camp never really bother me. The scouts blind and poison. I clear the blind by just hitting auto-attack, and I never worry about the poison.

The build does have null field (or I can swap in Arcane Thievery or Phantasmal Disenchanter), but I basically never use it when taking a camp unless I run into some opposition while I’m taking the camp. That’s the main reason it’s there. I also keep inventory open and can double-click on Lemongrass Poultry soup if I get a bunch of conditions and don’t have a removal available. The Generosity Sigil is so-so. Basically, if I use scepter 3, I get kittens (or more if I can line up multiple targets). So I can get it to proc more than “random”, but it’s definitely not predictable.

@esplen letting the phantasms do the work is mostly what I do. Since I’m soloing, I’m often feeling pretty urgent. So I’m trying to take out the whole camp and flip it in about two minutes and 30 seconds. Sometimes when I screw up, it takes much longer than that. So that’s one of the big reasons I’m wondering what builds people use to solo camps.

Thx

reflection and CC seems to work well.
