I think as core idea this build is a good start, purpose of the build is do sustain dmg while you avoid inc dmg by using distortion with signets, Shatter and block skills. Rune of resistance might work well with this build.

Like Sticker said, replace Signet of Illusions for Midnight. Change Retaliatory Shield to Blade Training, faster cooldown on Block is better than Retaliation. Retaliation sucks on a mesmer, you don’t want to rely on that. Get IP instead and move your traits down in Illusion line, something like Masterful Reflection, Illusionary Invigoration and IP. IP will give you Distortion when you want/need it, not when your illusions shatter.

I would have went more phantasm focused instead of shatter, but it works too. Runes of Air works well with blocking build. Also, fire + air.

You have no condition removal, remove Signet of Inspiration or Decoy and put Mantra of Resolve.

It’s a fun build, alright, but you won’t go too far with that. Have fun.

I thought i should better go phantasm instead of shatter, but the trait synergy doesnt work nicely i think
