Guild Wars 2

20 Domination is usually for G.Sword trait. Faster I.Zerker summoning for Cripple AoE and faster Mirror Blade recharge, both of which are used to feed the Shatters. Further, you can use F3 with 20 Domination (15 trait specifically) to stack up a large amount of Vulnerability before a F1 Shatter.

For the builds, its less about Power vs. Critical Dmg + Precision and more towards “Which kittening traits help you more.”

@Zarfin, core thing is: You dont trait for stats, you trait for power.

So what do I mena with this. I mean that the differens between 20-20-0-0-30 or 10-30-0-0-30 is not the stats. Its te traits who totaly affect the gameplay and style. The 20-20-0-0-30 biggest benefit in a shatter build is that it let you stack 20-25 vulnebility with daze before you do a mindwrack. this give 25% extra dmg. The dueling 30 is taken for one of the GM stats most common alternative to fit in pistol trait and sword in same build.

i would like to use 20/20/0/0/30 more.. with shattered concentration on pvp.. cuz of ripping boons benefit is better effect overall.. exp if u rip the protection u can do %33 more damage theorically. and like to use f3 not on stacking vulnerability on interrupt or full burst as f1 f3 f2, and imo shattered mesmer is better on burst rather than usage of damage per sec, so focus on timing would be better overall.. and u can use staff with s/anything on pvp is make u better mobile and survival.. pov..
