Guild Wars 2

Here is a little build I came up with and I wonder how well its going to work.
Its going to be mainly used for WvW roaming with small parties or solo for fun.

Gear:

-Armor:
Full celestial socked with divinity runes

-Trinkets:
Again full celestial

-Weapons:
Celestial Scepter + Celestial Pistol
swap – celestial greatsword or celestial staff (I think it is gonna end up being staff)
I am not really sure about sigils

Traits:

Skills:

-Healing:
Ether Feast

-Utility:
Signet of Domination
Arcane Thievery
Decoy/Null Field/Blink (not sure)

-Elite:
Polymorph Moa

Explanation:
The point of this build is to deal high damage with conditions and direct damage while being hard to kill due to its permanent regeneration, high health and toughness and constant protection.
The reason I am using full celestial gear for this build is because I will fully benefit from every stats it has to its maximum (including healing)
The reason I chose scepter + pistol is due to the fact that scepter has really good condition damage + high base damage on the third skill while applying confusion which scales with condition damage, while pistol has duelist phantasm which does nice direct damage and it will apply a lot of conditions due to sharper images.
For swap weapon I think I am going to stick with staff, because of all the utility it offers.
About the traits as you can see I get permanent regeneration, a nice 9% damage reduction from illusionary defense, and constant protection due to staff and illusionary membrane which is going to make me very hard to kill combined with all that healing power and toughness from celestial and traits.
I can apply a lot of conditions due to sharper images+duelist and illusionary retribution + the condition damage I get from celestial gear, signet of domination and the scepter trait I will end up hitting really hard with conditions.I have 30% direct damage increase to phantasms from traits and that being combined with the stats from celestial gear is gonna make them hit very hard.I also have a nice amount of disables.Null field and arcane thievery should give me a nice protection against conditions.The only thing this build lacks is stability, however its possible to steal it from other players with arcane thievery.

Do you guys think its gonna work?

Your duelist isn’t going to proc much because you’re not stacking precision, and your power is bad so your crits won’t hit as hard as a power-based build. Your traits just look all over the place (…literally).

My initial impression is that you’re trying to be good at everything but will end up just doing everything badly, while specialising your build for roaming (there’s a few builds on the first page here) will give you better results.

Well, I really must try this…
Also there is a reason why I am using celestial everything..
My phantasms should have ~70% crit if my calculations are right and much higher crit damage than your average mesmer build.(Unless its glass cannon)

Your phantasms will have 57% crit chance with celestial weapons, armour (divinity runes) and ascended trinkets.

If you use precision food and maintenance oil it goes up to 69%, and you’ll have 90% crit damage.

The two problems are that 69% crit chance really isn’t as reliable as you may think it is, and the high crit damage is offset by the low power stat.

If you already have the gear though, it’s worth giving a spin and seeing if it’ll work though, I mean PvP/WvW isn’t really my strong point so it wouldn’t be right of me to dissuade you from running a build which might actually work quite well there.

Don’t forget fury (20% more)

I do have the gear but I dont have a mesmer.I should level one and give it a try.
Also, the power difference should result in only ~10%-15% direct damage loss.

I factored in phantasmal fury with those numbers.

Hmm you are right, I just did them again.
