Just returning to the game right now, im just asking someone if mesmer sw/sw || GS is still viable on pve or not
If not, i would like to know what’s the best dmg build for mesmer nowadays. Thx a lot, and sorry for bad english. If someone can just link a great build, it could be nice
Mesmer sw/sw full dps pve build
I think Sword/Focus is the best DPS.
I use Sword/Focus and Greatsword, but I just got back into the game recently as well, so my info might not be perfect.
Sw/Sw + Sw/P is top dps. Sw/Sw + Sw/F is top practical dps. GS is ok for pve, but not for dungeons.
6/4/0/0/4 for all of the above. 6/4/0/4/0 for focus reflects. 2/4/0/4/4 for all around balanced dps/utility build. There is no real need to run any other build apart from those 3 except from some fringe niche encounters.

I’d also recommend 4/6/0/0/4 which will sustain about the same amount of overall DPS as 6/4/0/0/4, give you faster Duelist recharges for phantasm-unfriendly fights, and doesn’t require mantras. The balance is pushed very slightly towards the phantasm side as a tradeoff but it’s not really that bad.
4/6/0/0/4 has 5% less terminal dps than 6/4/0/0/4. However, it shines better at the start where mesmer isn’t attacking and not taking advantage of the Wastrel’s Punishment and Mantra bonuses. 4/6/0/0/4 will get you to 350k only 1s slower than 6/4/0/0/4.
4/6/0/0/4 It is pretty much a variation of 2/4/0/0/4 where you give up reflect traits to buff your power/prec/ferocity. It’s the build I used in this VIDEO, it’s good if you absolutely hate mantras or are kiting a lot. Everywhere else I’d still recommend 6/4/0/0/4, which has 5.3% more direct dps and 9.2% more Feedback dmg thanks to the damage multipliers.
4/6/0/0/4 is equal to 6/4/0/0/4 only when you have 0 mantras.
