Guild Wars 2

Experimenting with the new Inspiration trait line lead me to this build I recently try in tPvP.

It offers good team support against condition heavy teams through Resistance and interrupts. It also has a high burst potential with the stacking potential of Harmonious Mantras and Fencer’s Finesse. We have good condition removal thanks to the combination of three times charged mantras and the minor trait Mender’s Purity.

The weapon choice it pretty obvious ‘cause we want to deal a lot of damage. So we’re going for the GS with Sigil of Air and Sigil of Fire for even more damage when we crit. Second weapon set it sword and pistol; sword for high stack of Fencer’s Finesse and damage avoidance through Blurred Frenzy. Pistol offers a hard hitting phantasm and also an interrupt which synergises well with Duelist Discipline. Sigils are Energy for more dodges and Paralyzation for longer daze duration.
To maximize the potential of lockdowns I also took Rune of the Mesmer and all interrupt relevant traits in the domination trait line: Confounding Suggestions, Furious Interruption and Power Block.

For utilities I choose Feedback and Null Field to profit as often as possible from Temporal Enchanter. Third utility is Mantra of Distraction, obvious choice for a lockdown build and another reason we choose Harmonious Mantras. Elite utility is Time Warp since it’s also a glamour and benefits from the Temporal Enchanter trait. Additionally it’s one of the few skills that offers Slow which is a pretty strong condition – perfect for a crowd controlling build.

So far I can say the build offers good damage and support but I think the timing of when you have to cast the glamour is very important, so in a “pug” tPvP team it’s pretty hard to time without some sort of communication. Also the build lacks sustain since we have no source of stealth and no teleport like Blink or Phase Retreat.
I’m currently thinking of a Glamrock build with Chaos and on condition damage. Furthermore I think a tanky Glamrock build will also be possible.

I would appreciate your feedback what do you think about the build as it is and give tips and ideas what could be done better. Also I’d like to discuss the viability of this build in “real” tPvP and in official tournaments.

Thank you for your feedback (… pun intended ^-^) and I have to thank Chaos Archangel for the name and the idea for this build.

If ur having fun with it go for it but yea… we just need to take delivery now rest 8s whatever ya like nm you don’t have decided xd heh first time mesmer?

Naaa, I main mesmer since the beginning and also play PvP since than. Most of the time I play shatter or lockdown depending on my mood.
But after the patch, everything seems viable because we’re no longer bound to the Attribute boni the traits offer. And I have decided, but I like to play around with ideas and get as much out of the build as possible.

Still I think de would be better instead of mantra trait same for instead of sword training take blind on domi master boon strip and instead of revive skill on insp take heal on mantra

Careful, Rune of the Mesmer is bugged, making your dazes last like 0.5 sec! (most likely the 6th rune bonus reduces dazes by 33% isntead of increases).

Last time I tested this was yesterday.

Urgh, Looks like I will start from the beginning and give it another try.
