Might Stacking
Instead of just posting build everytime, make an in depth analysis of the game style and post a video with you playing this build. Otherwise don’t bother posting it at all. I can make hundreds theoretical builds as well.
this looks really weak. based on the video this build is about being needless while making sure to outnumber your enemies. whats the matter stacking might when you play that defensive?
Tough idea for sure… I think you’ve pretty much picked up on all the (practical) ways in which you could put might on yourself as a mesmer but sadly that doesn’t add up to a ton, eh? I have a tough time imagining how you can get a dangerous enough stack on yourself to be creating a real threat, even when you consider that the big scare is buffing your whole team with 5-10x might.
There’s a couple of ways I can see getting a much more frightening might stack, and for both I’d be thinking that Time Warp would be the way to make this dangerous, since the big stack probably won’t last longer than 5-10 seconds anyhow:
1) … is unlikely and not terribly good: stay stuck to warriors with the hopes of stealing their crazy high might stack with Arcane Thievery, then share it quickly with signet. Not especially good because you can’t control when it’ll happen.
2) … is to run alongside a team in either s/tPvP or WvW and coordinate spikes with the buffs going out quickly at the beginning of engagements. With lots of shouts/yells going around, you may even have a 20+ stack going once you swap/mirror blade/shatter, then just remember to share it quickly.
Might be better as a sub-theme than as a sort of primary goal of your build?
