This build is supposed to do pure damage along with condition damage. It is intended for long range combat which Mesmers are unique to. This build utilizes no sword but instead focuses on phantasms, torment, bleed, and great sword damage. The armor suggested would be full Sinister Ascended with weapons wielded as Scepter/Pistol, Greatsword.

I would like any suggestions on this build as I don’t usually make my own. If you feel it is a bad build feel free to comment and make suggestions but please be respectful in the process. I would appreciate any constructive feedback. Thanks in advance.

You should include your utilities ( some mantras and sigils I assume ) and whether this is for PvE or WvW.

My feeling is that you aren’t commiting enough traits to conditions to be worth it.
You should either go for phantasms or condition. They don’t mix all that well…

Sadly both Malicious Sorcery and Duelists Discipline seem to be bugged at the moment.

I would switch to Ineptitude, Rending Shatter, Furious Interruption, Maim the Disillusioned, and Blinding Dissipation if I were you. At least the vuln would help increase your condi damage, and the blinds would proc more confusion. Like Cerpin said, you should either go full condi or full phantasm. My advice for condi is stick to pvp. It sucks in pve right now.
