It’s a lot, but worth reading.
Hello darkness, my old friend.
Stickied dungeon guide. Sandy’s guide is also good.
Bump.
What do you people think about this build?

You were pointed at several guides that are both very good and very specific. I find it hard to believe you made this build based on what you could have learned from those guides.
Greatsword is worthless in the vast majority of dungeons and fotm. There are a couple niche encounters where it can be used, but it’s generally worthless. It deserves a spot in your inventory just in case, not a slot in your build.
Why do you have mirror images? What possible benefit are you expecting to gain from that utility?
Why would you go just 5 points into domination? Wastrels punishment is an awful trait, and it’s not like that one point doesn’t have another very strong place for it (illusions X).
Why would you take deceptive evasion in a phantasm pve build?
You’re using 5 runes of the Mesmer and 1 ruby orb? You couldn’t find any runes that gave a good 6-set bonus (like pack, ranger, strength, scholar)?
The build isn’t complete and total garbage, but it’s not good at all. I’m honestly confused as to how you could come up with that after reading the guides you were pointed towards.
I’m not normally this exceedingly negative about a random build, but you specifically asked for the optimal build in your post. Optimal for Mesmer is not something that’s particularly variable or uncertain. There is an optimal build or two, and they are used by every single dungeon Mesmer that wants to play optimally. Your build is nowhere close to any of them.
