Guild Wars 2

Mesmer has been my main since I started playing gw2 at launch. I used to run shatter and phantasm builds but I got a bit bored of them because I played them too much. Then I became interested in condition builds and have been playing them for some time now.

I am waiting for the update to be released and started playing around with the build calculators. I have made a condition WvW build with my existing gear and would really like some feedback. I usually don’t make builds. I just use existing builds and adjust them to my preferences. So please don’t be too harsh :p

Again, I am looking for feedback. Constructive criticism is much appreciated!

kitten . Some one has released the build before me…. but that is really close to the build I made a while back and that I intend to play when the patch goes live. I just traited for manipulations and picked up arcane thief/decoy/blink with mirror for crazy amounts of reflects. But the version I’m planning on running would be a class cannon hybrid, so I picked up protection on chaos armor, not the condition damage bonus, because protection with a high up makes out to be a really strong defense.

some comparisons / suggestions for you

Thanks for your reply. Maybe I’ll take the protection on chaos armor. Now I think about it, it is pretty good. The reason that I didn’t take mirror on manipulation skills is that it would screw up mass invisibility. The mirror activates after you get stealthed. So if for example a ranger is still attacking you while invisible (with rapid fire), you would reflect his arrows but this will cancel your stealth.
