Guild Wars 2

Hi pips

got back to my mesmer after month break with daredevile and necro and didnt see this variation on the forum (so if i missed it)

here is the build for condishatter pvp

first i know mtd was nerf but now we got torment runes and with wanderer amulet the duration is 82% thus 11 sec torment (almost doable)
and i know 2 stack is better that doable duration but its hard knock life for us

either way i have a blast with this build so after they use all their cleanse i burst with up to 20 stacks of torment and 10 confusion

also the slow application when interrupt is very nice

pros:
1. slow proc
2. constant illusions up
3. good condi burst with F5
4. good condi cleanse
5. good cc abilities (staff, shield, GW, F3)
6. good blocking abilities
7. good evade frame with wop

cons:
1. necro can still kill you with condi transfer (hit and run tactic for them)
2. druid can be problem 1v1 but in team fight you can control them and slow them
3. ele – mainly slow proc for your team to kill them
4. if thief target you, you still can do nice blocking but careful as he can out sustain you

i use rabid cause there is no wanderer amulet with the right states.

thoughts guys ?

So I uh, put this up a week or so ago for WvW roaming. Same concept but taking advantage of the superior options.

I was reluctant to even bother transferring to PvP, simply because the reward for effort isnt exactly there without Perplexity, and of course Dire for the silly sustain.

Also with Illusions and Alacrity, you don’t need malicious sorcery. You can also get your quick confusing images off during your tides of time since it procs quickness. So the trait becomes redundant. You could take ineptitude, though without Dueling BD there’s less reason to, and so MS about competes with it.

all i can sat bring mt to 2 stacks as its very hard to land a perfect burst with condi although hits doable
in wvw condi mesmer as usually are great

so far my only problems where thieves who know how to kite and stealth d/p with SA
power mesmer with evade and bit of stealth
and in group fight if there is an ele i am screw so i try to go far close and rotate with portal my team

I was actually playing around with the new trailblazer stats, I’d take it over dire tbh as you can get up to 50% condition duration with food, add in the 33% to confusion from your illusions trait line and you can then use runes of torment. I think you end up at +83% confusion and 100% torment duration without going over that 100% by much.

You can keep up a lot of torment and confusion and people won’t have the option of waiting it out as the duration lasts as long as the recharge in a lot of cases.

Now, prepare yourself for a nerf in 3….2….
