Mantra build with phantasmal warden: 6/4/0/4/0
Mantra build without phantasmal warden: 6/4/0/0/4
Full phantasm build: 2/4/0/4/4

What’s the DPS difference between 6/4/0/4/0 and 2/4/0/4/4?

It’s so difficult for me to want to take 6/4/0/0/4 because why Mesmer if not for the reflects? It feels like it’s better for me to just switch to a different profession altogether.

I suppose now that we can change the trait anytime we like, there’s an argument for 6/4/0/0/4 while you’re stuck in a dungeon or in a fractal run… I don’t know.

Now that with all the ascended stuffs account-bound, it’s quite easy for you to just switch to an Ele or move all the trinkets to another toon. It’s a hassle, though.

Well there’s many encounters where reflect are not needed. And untraited warden is very useful for some encounters.

Yeah, I guess runs like CoF 2 in an organized group, the 6/4/0/0/4 can be used rather thoroughly…

I’m assuming where 6/4/0/0/4 is most appropriate, there’s no better DPS build for Mesmer now?

There’s isn’t better option atm, but again it’ll depend if the nerf to Empowering Mantra is a bug or if it’s intended
