hi guys, ive been playing this game for about 1 month and started to do wvw. I was playing shatter build from meta site, but was so frustating, ive lost 1v1 against every single class, i couldnt take camp, neither contribute in small skirmish and zegs fights. Feels like everyone is overexperienced with the game and im the only beginner, everyone party with in wvw have 10k + achievement points, while im about 2k. All my enemys are rank bronze, gold, while im just a simple level 21 scout. So ive heard that PU cond build is more newbie friendly and decided to try it, following one from the same meta battle site. I can survive too much and even scape 1×3 now, but im missing the point of the build, feels like i dealing no damage at all and not stacking cond propely. The biggest problem is that im so confused about skills rotation, not a cleary idea of how i should start and proced a fight.
the build that im following is this: http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Mesmer_-_PU_Condition_Roamer (except that i have rune of speed instead of nightmare, for better move speed), but again, not sure of skills rotations.

Any help? ^^

You get it right. The PU condie build is mostly about ability to survive and wait for your enemy to kill himself.

Surely you can try to apply a bit more pressure by using your scepter 2 and 3 more aggressively but that could also put you in a more vulnerable spot. However, if your opponent knows what he is doing, he can always ignore you and leave.

That’s why more experienced players tend to go for power shatter build which is more risky but more fun and has more potential to land a kill. You can also try the maim condie shatter build which is reasonably tanky but can apply a tremendous amount of condie pressure.

Last but not least, the new big balance update will land next Tuesday. There will be no clone death traits which is an important part of current PU condie builds. PU gets buffed by quite a bit though. So it will be good time to experiment new PU build.

In wvw imo staff is to slow. Sometimes I use sword/pistol scepter/torch. All condition stats. Trait torch if you can manage conditions take stun signet. This gives sword immobilize plus 2 stuns. As stated make sure to land scepter block and pump out clones. Also trait 5 in Dom/chaos for condition clone death. Enjoy it for the week this all changes soon.
