Guild Wars 2

So not saying this build is going to rock, but it could be fun. I was just looking over the revised traits, and realized that if you take:

Dueling with V and IX
along with
Inspiration with VII

Then each time you dodge you get reflect, a clone, and phantasmal defender. But what’s more interesting is, since Blurred Frenzy also evades attacks, it will trigger everything but the deceptive evasion. Of course, two of those traits require you to actually evade an attack, but that shouldnt be too hard.

Well, it’s certainly not OP, but it could allow you to get a number of interesting effects with evasions and dodges. Maybe that could be combo’ed into an interesting build of some sort.

going back and taking another look, I see I missed Ineptitude as another addition to evasion fun heh

Imagine Chronomancer’s Shield with Mental Defense. 2 Phantasms on Block + another block for 10s and a potential of 3 phantasms which can be shattered twice if traited with Chronophantasma.

I still find ele’s dodging worth more though, with heal (+ condi removal) and blast on various fields, blind and burn is kind of meh but welcomed.

amen its beautiful lol

Scepter (1 block)
MH Sword (Blurred Frenzy … evades)
OH Sword (1 block)
Shield (2 blocks)
F5 (if used before) to to reset every one of them … though having alacrity may make that completely unnecessary given the low cooldowns on these weapon skills.

Yeah … I’d love that … though curious what build I’d run both scepter and sword in … maybe something with Celestial.

Also … won’t aegis proc the block traits as well (Ineptitude and Mental Defense)? :-)

I’m very interested in my Dueling/Chaos/Illusions condition build with Scepter+X & Staff.

So many fantastic options for Mesmers now … so excited.

I’m not sure how much the 50% nerf to vigour will effect dodging in PvP, will have to see later on today how it pans out.
