Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone! I’ve been feeling nostalgic lately and am looking for a mesmer build reminiscent of the old shutdown builds we used to run in GW1 (consisting of things like Psychic Instability, Wastrel’s Demise, Panic, Cry of Frustration, Power Drain, Backfire, etc.).

I know most of the mesmer’s shutdown capabilities have been lost, partly due to the lack of energy mechanics, but what would you guys say is the closest viable build GW2 mesmers can get to the old school shutdowns?

Pure theorycrafting, but this is something I’ve had in my mind for a long time, but never got myself to try it. Basically just lots of AoE CC and confusion.
