Is phantasm build still viable?
A:
You could go for something gimicky like this.

Kite, kite, kite, stealth, summon iduelists. But honestly, the Phantrupt build is solid.
Pls leave a link and maybe a gameplay of Phantrupt..Im a newb…I need all the help I can get…I saw phantasm build on youtube and I liked it…but if you know something better pls share!
Builds that rely on phantasms for a significant part of their overall damage output and don’t shatter particularly much are playable in PvP.
I think the trick is to think of your phants like Hundred Blades:
Hundred Blades hits like a truck, especially with the right build. But even your Hundred-Blades-iest of builds isn’t just about Hundred Blades, you know?
You’ll want to use your other skills to help you set up Hundred Blades. Players aren’t just gonna stand in it for no reason, after all.
You’ve got all these other weapon skills, and utilities, and traits. You should make use of them. Be effective even when you’re not standing there doing Hundred Blades.
Sometimes you’ll want to cancel Hundred Blades.That’s how I would approach even a very “dedicated” phantasm PvP build: plan to support your phantasms with CC, think about how you’re going to sustain yourself, freely dip into other mesmer tricks if your build has room for it, and recognize that sometimes phantasms are totally disposable.
Ofc..what I saw whas kite kite kite and util..etc…but I need a decent build/stat priority…etc
Got plenty on my channel.
The old Phantrupt for PvP pre patch converted into this, which i’m running now.

“Phantasm” was never otherwise considered viable in PvP (The 2, 3, 0, 5, 4 or whatever it was).
