Thanks for great guide! Hope you will share more and more of your knowledge
I even use your shatter build, which you have on your channel and i am quite enjoing it.
I am still wondering, why this isn´t stickied …
Was curious about you opinion on the dodge clone trait, also thinking of picking it up Signet of illusion instead of blink my thinking even one or two more shots could be good for stacking condition damage. I’m using your leveling build as a basis for heavy condition with staff and keeping sword/focus as back up.
Great guide using your build as a base made a few trait changes, mainly dropping the mind rack traits in favor of increasing their damage and giving me 3% more damage per illusion. My reason for that is honestly I don’t shatter often instead I use my clones to build conditions then use my iwarlock for extra damage.
Great Video. So far I have only viewed the first one and I am thrilled to see that even though i am still new to the game, I seem to have chosen my weapons as you have rated them.
I am solo leveling with a Staff, Sword/Pistol combo.
I’m sure you will cover this in one or more of the next vids I will be viewing but I just have to say one of my favorite routines to use against multiple mobs is:
Getting some Winds of Chaos hits in, Phase retreat and get my iLock up, Drop Chaos Storm in the middle of them if they are still ranged or maybe just ahead of them if they are on the move towards me, pop chaos armor, swap to S/P combo, iLeap/Swap into the mass (also within the storm that is still active) go into blurred Frenzy (or a round of Mind Slash if I was quick enough to still have the storm up then Blurred Frenzy) If for some reason there are still mobs up I can evade back until I am ready to swap back to Staff and hit a phase retreat again.
Your video has given me more insight on some other skills I can add into that. I can’t wait to watch the rest of them.
Great Job and thanks for your work.
If you play solitaire with only one suit, your game is going to end faster and feel lacking.
In your comprehensive video when you got to Illusions of Life, you said that revived allies die if they don’t kill a target before IoL runs out. They don’t die, they get incapped again (I don’t know but I imagine this adds to their number of “downs” they’re allowed, so if they’re on their final down (red), they WILL die).
I used this in big battles early on in WvW. The trouble with it was that people don’t know they’re on a timer, so instead of falling back to safety (assuming they can’t/don’t incap), they go down again near the front lines and get taken out.
