Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone,

I’m playing this game since 1Month, Mesmer lvl 80, and love PvP.

I’m currently playing with this build made by my own. Doing very well in pvp.
I’m using the 2 Stuns to let my Pistol Phantasm and Blurred Frenzy (2) hit a full combo on the Target :>

Any improvement for my current build is welcome, i already thought eventually to switch to Krait Runes and to Rabid/Knight/Celestial Amulet.

I have a great mechanic with the Mesmer and I’m feeling like I’m wasting some potential there. So i wanted to ask you guys what would be a good build for sPvP.
I’m not feeling for a full Shatter Mesmer, I’m shattering sometimes but i dont think a full shatter would fit to me. What about maybe about a Condi Mesmer? but i like the Greatsword and condis don’t use that right? But guess i wouldn’t mind to change that.

Edit: Fixed incorrect build link

When you say sPvP, do you mean just hotjoin, or tournaments?

I’m playing something similar as your Phantasm Build but instead of Scepter/Sword it’s a Greatsword. I should try yours but I feel like i would lack of Ranged DPS.

I’m looking further in your PU Condition build and the one Osicat posted a while ago. Seems more funny and strong too

I want to know, do the Phantasm proc the Air & Fire Sigil?

Also, I want to change my Amulet on the current build but since i use those 2 Sigils I need atleast 40% crit and having 1900 Toughness only with the berserk i’m feeling squishy.
So i’m trying Knight Amulet atm.

Or isn’t crit relevant for Mesmers? If so, what amulet you would suggest + Sigils on my GS?

Crit is most definitely relevant for mesmers, but that’s because your precision is transferred to your phantasms. Neither phantasms nor clones use your weapon sigils.

The build looks alright, just some minor tweaks and I think it would be a bit better. Imo going 6 into dueling is still one of the best ways to run a phantasm build. Even with no condition damage confusion procs can add up. Not to mention traited pistol is very strong. Traited greatsword is pretty good, but imo it’s better for builds that do more personal damage than phantasm. I know this is your main source of might to trigger the rune of strength, but have you considered using sigils of battle instead? It’s much more consistent might uptime at least, plus using both can get you quite a few stacks of it.

Just my thoughts.

From your suggestion, I should take 2 points out of Domination and going for IX in Dueling right?

I also changed earlier the sigil on my sword and using the Sigil of Battle. If I put a Sigil of Battle on my GS too, i could change my runes (since might stack is capped at 10?) but isn’t that 7% more damage while on might sexy?

What other runes should i consider then?
Changing sigil of Air?
