GS Non-Shatter Build
Well hope ya change out the elites and utilities depending on what you doing.
Because depending on the boss in dgn, are what I am doing in WvW. My elite and utilities can be completely different.
Also not trying to be rude, but I really dont see this build going very far in must case’s.
First with your build the staff is pretty much useless. I would use a sword/pistol(maybe focus) with that build.
Then their the fact that you got low kitten def.
However if you was a true glass cannon, you could get away with it, but from what I seen you are not.
This build is close to a hybrid just add some more def and you can be a good hybrid.
Also take off staff it terrible with this build.
Well thats just my opinion on this, take it for what it worth.
This exactly what this build set out to achieve being a jack of all trades a master of none.
How I evaluate is in kill time -thats one of my KPI’s- which is pretty easy for any one to do, use the build on the same kind of normal and veteran mobs and do it over and over until you get a good feel of kill time, down time -not doing DPS- and effort.
While Portal and other utilities have great uses the linked set up seems to do well when applied to all aspects of the game. (Portal+Mirror Images)
As for defense, all of the top mesmer builds have less than 1k Toughness and less than 19k HP -this build is above on both. What this build also adds is 1200 range on Manipulation skills -up from 900- which include Blink..That’s lots of ground for an instant.
As for Staff I’ll agree with you that having another weapon set in bag is useful and I actually do have all the weapons.

I’m sorry but no, not all the top builds have low tough and hp.
I know mutly builds with higher, the highest is one with 2.2 tough,22khp.
And Ive seen that person win in WvW with 1v10 on them.
It not my build, but it a scary as hell build and never seen them die in WvW and in dgns.
Uh and no, I was saying the staff is crap, should never be use with that build.
Plus it not a jack of all trades, not even close to it. It a bad hybrid build. That with some small fix’s will be okay.
Uh and forgot to say, those with the best builds dont blurt it out on the internet.
Only those with good build will blurt it out.
Ps tell me your ingame name, and I find you and crush you so many times. That then you have proof that your build need work.
I like the idea of hybrid builds. I just dont think they work for mesmer at this time. Feel free to prove me wrong.
If you’re using GS (power/crit), you want either shatter or phantasm
If you’re using staff (condition), it’s either conditions or glamours
@ EsLafiel OK fair enough, lets talk non shatter specialization then:
Also do share that 2.2 Toughness 22HP build, how exactly does one hit those 2 numbers? In WvW you could as you have more Trinkest.
@ NatashaK When you say Phantasm I assume you mean builds with +3% dmg for each Illusion?

Touht/vit on all weapons/armor and all acc(rings/backpack/amulet/earrings).
Then 30/30 chaos/ins,,,,,that get ya their, but cant tell ya teh guy traits are anything, because he not told me if I am allow to share his build.
Now personal I go with 20khp and 1.9k tough.
Because my acc got healing instead of vit,,, and I only put 15 into chaos, and 20 into ins. Plus I dont got the exotic backpack yet, since guild not high enough. I have close to 2k tough, when I get backpack,, but thats all.
I’m 10/20/15/20/5,,,,,
Its probably a play style issue I keep going back to the below build and do so much better with it. Having said that I have gone through at least 10 different clips posted here some of which are insanely powerful -like the confusion build against people who keep moving and attacking with high confusion and melt!
any way here it is:

Yep pretty much a play style, because personal, I would never use that build.
However you will more then likely never use a build like mine either.
