My "support team but also damage" build Spvp
Its definitely a unique build, but I don’t see any specific flaws with it. Seems like it’d work better with an organized group and has quite a few nuances to learn but every trait seems to serve a purpose.
However I’d experiment with moving 10 points from Dueling into one of the other lines (Dom, Chaos, or Inspiration) since you don’t need deceptive evasion much beyond for clone deaths. Also, your support seems strong enough without really needing staff, I’d beef up your damage a bit with greatsword (which would also grant boons via Mirror Blade and iWave’s interrupt)

this build looks awesome, gotta try it
tried the build, its quite good , only makes me miss blink
in spvp i wouldnt take signet tho, in spvp 90% of my matches ppl just do random stuff while i solo cap… (they dont deserve my boons!)
Yea the blink is a bummer, but I did move 10 points from dueling and add them to Chaos for Chaotic interruption. This seems to work very well for also more interrupt synergy but also for decapping points (temporal curtain pulls them off the point and immobilizes them).
This looks very interesting, though of course seems like it works best with some organised teamwork.
That is the change I made, http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fgAQNAsdWnUEVUbUNC0wWjkw0jg7bhfShyXOpCmuUBcD-TsAA0CnIKSVkrITRyisFN+Y9xkAA
I dunno if I agree with the change. DE gave you clone fodder to shatter when needed and makes Debilitating Dissipation a very reliable AoE CC. To trade it for a trait that you only barely have control when it procs (Temporal Curtain and the occasional daze shatter.. which is now also less potent without Deceptive Evasion to help space out your clones. Staff can’t predict the dazes/interrupts) feels more like a downgrade than upgrade. (Unless it’s been working for you of course).
I’d say to either revert it back or instead grab Prismatic Understanding, that way you can also share stacks of Protection with your team.

I think DE should be moved to an adept trait, then everything would work perfectly. Anyway I got DE back as it seems overall better.
