Guild Wars 2

This is the build I’ve been running in WvW lately. It’s a lot of fun for me in groups or solo. It looks similar to quite a few other power/stealth builds – but has a couple differences.

A lot of the armor I use is Sentinels, so my health is about 19,000 and my power is slightly lower. Otherwise, the numbers in the build website are basically right.

Weapons: Greatsword – Scepter/Pistol

When running into a fight with a group, tcast Mass Invis then use Signet of Inspiration to give to allies. In the few fights I’ve been in with groups, this has been very effective.

Solo I will sometimes swap out Mass Invis for a summonable elite (like Mistfire Wolf) for when I’m trying to take camps.

II like this build becasue it can hit really kitten a consistent basis while having decent defense. The phantasms will crit a lot and for significant damage with a 73% crit chance and 79% crit damage bonus. If you have both Berserker and Duelist out, it creates a lot of pressure.

Perhaps the most fun part of this build for me is the boons and boon duration without relying on food or runes. I really get a kick out of seeing what Signet of Inspiration or Prismatic Understanding gives me. I’m enjoying the chaotic nature of the Mesmer in this respect. And I like that the 40% boon duration tends to keep those boons around for a while. Occasionally this even helps me with my Swiftness needs (which I normally solve by swapping in a focus when it’s time to run across the map).

Anything you would change here if you were mostly doing solo supply camps and small groups in WvW?

Thx!
