Guild Wars 2

I have a hard time keeping confusion up for it to work properly in wvwvw. How do you guys make it work / stack enough for it to work on classes?

Mostly timing. Have it up when they look like they’re about to attack, especially with something that casts multiple times in a row. Its not an uptime like other dots, its specifically to counter activity.

@Knight, Its also important to look at how wvwvw works, most of it is strong group play and not 1 vs 1, say a 5 man group is healped ALOT by have a condition confusion stacking mesmer when encounter another 5-8 man team as this lock the enemy yeam down in many ways.

As I see it with the 50% dmg buff to confusion dmg in wvwvw compared to spvp a support mesmer with timewarp, portals temporal curtain and heavy condition dmg + condition applying build dont need to get the killingblows. He can instead feel that he helped the team win the fight.

Last two weeks one of Judge 4 shatter mesmers changed to support condition build, she now in one of our most usefull team members in our 12 man raids behin enemy lines and we often taken down both organiced guilds and unorganiced teams that is alot bigger than our team. Alot of this cause her condition build combined with our other team synergies.

Talking about teamplay, I cant touch this subject without also mention how effective a smal group is in wvwvw if ppl just use mesmers portals and run in a tight cluster. A warrior on blow duity or a mesmer + another class with a speed buff can keep constant vigour on the team and our swiftness is sorted. Yes a thief outrun us al, but USE that, let him sprint 1000-2000 y in front of the team and be a early warning for enemy culling zergs. We even often let a 2 thief run 2 k after the team to be a scout bacwards.

I love playing with the group but with my current laptop I have a hard time doing so cause of lag. So I just end up wandering around and looking for single kills. ty btw for the advice, I’ll try out the glamour build once I get some money.

@Knight, y glamor is a strong support group spec, if you want To try a shatter support condition spec get the might on shatter, build a shatter condition build, get signet or reset shatters and siget of spread boons. build 18 stacks of might early and spread a sea of confusion with shatters and then spread your boons to al teammates. Its a theorybuild as I only tryed the condition dmg shatter type and might stacks got buffed today but it looks as a extremly strong group setup

Hey knight this might help you with confusion mesmer viability.. it’s our guild leader running with the guild and doing 1vX fights. he also has a guide and recent guide update there too.. http://www.youtube.com/kyliad hopefully it helps ya out ^^

One thing that I find helps a lot, especially of you run confusion on glamor and scepter, is to stack condition duration on your gear. I can’t remember what the runes are called (wRiting his on my phone) but it is possible to stack 27% condition duration on your armor. Combine that with 36% condition duration from super veggie pizza and 20% to 30% from traits and it starts to get a lot easier to get good stacks of confusion. Since the patch there are also new weapons that give 10% condition duration but I haven’t had time to try them out.
