Just watch the demo, very interesting.
Can I ask if you could try this build out. It is a jack of Lockdown, reflect, PU and power play.

I mostly use rune of Hoelbrak and Celestial amulet for more survival.
edit/update
Ok just finished watching everything. Very interesting. One thing I have to ask,
HOW DO YOU DO THE MONKEY JUMP
Finally, your duel with WOC, from what I can see, this shows the limitation of mantras. Once used up, you were opened to some serious damage.
Never the less Loved it, learnt a lot.
Keep posting.

Watching these videos with popcorn is fun, especially the one where Chaos uses GS.
You missed out yesterday, a bunch of us hopped into the OMFG arena and beat eachother up, 3v3s, 2v2s and all! We gotta do that more often.
And that GS training.. >_< Every match I get better and better till I finally beat you. Best believe I’m coming back for revenge soon!
I need good fights so keep them coming
. I did see that the OMFG arena was full last night, however I was doing spvp training with my guild so yea couldn’t come (I won every 1v1 on mes though)
Hi Chaos, you and warlord are 2 Mesmer beasts lol. I never really tried interrupt builds and grabbed on my rusty Mesmer and tried and I must tell you it’s so much fun
I need some directions and help, if you or anyone don’t mind. First I’m a core WvW player and I came up with a build with staff + sw/sw, zerker gear with trav runes.
Build:
6 (I / II / XIII)
2 (II)
6 (V / VIII / XI)
I dueled a warrior, Mesmer and won but lost to a power engi, but that’s not the case. I wanted to ask what you think about the build? I saw that you used one 4/4/6 and tested with warlord a 6/6/0/2 what’s your thoughts about it?
When using a interrupt build I feel I can beat any class 1v1 (this don’t mean I beat them in the end lol) but when I face 1v2 I start panicking probably I’m still not used to interrupt builds.
Anyway thank you for any help and advice you can give me. I blame you and warlord for not being playing in my ele. Lol

Thanks for the compliments! Its kind of funny because when power block just came out and wasn’t fixed yet (meaning it put thief skills on cd when interrupted as well as all autos could be put on cd) Chaos used a very similar build to yours. Sadly, power block at the moment is simply not as good as deceptive evasion and so I would replace power block for DE. If you plan to run CI(chaotic interruption) with s/s staff I would recommend nothing tbh, since you need traveler if youre roaming in wvw lol. Make sure you use decoy,mantra of distraction and mass invis. The third utility is optional to you and be used for blink or a condi cleanse utility. If in pvp, run a might duration rune like hoelbrak or strength since the synergy with BI and those runes are amazing, but trav is also a good option.
Anyway, for the 4/4/6 build that is the main build that chaos and I use for lockdown. It is a amazing build and is always reliable to go back to when I need to use it. Recently, chaos and I have been testing the 6/6/0/2 build and I honestly cant say much yet because im finding it much harder to play then my 4/4/6 build but it has a lot of potential. The condi cleanse it has is far superior to the CI build which is a big plus. I will let ya know how this build does but for now I cant comment since im still trying to learn it lol.
It is a shame though I have to say do not take power block. I wish I could say use it, but the 4/4/6 build and the 6/6/0/2 with confounding suggestions and not PB are just way better in every form. Why disable 1 thing when you can constantly stun people and daze for 2 seconds, locking out the entire skill bar or just immbo them for almost forever?
Also, welcome to the world of interrupt mes. I cant really give you advice on to play since id have to duel you. Interuppt Mesmer is a little different then other specs where I cant just tell you how to play it, its VERY personal playstyle based. Feel free to PM me in game so I can see how you are doing (I am on NA servers). Each profession has different key skills to interrupt or dodge and typing all of them would take a long time haha.

Great videos! Keep them up!
I wish I could play interrupt builds more. Playing in NA servers being outside NA with a huge ping makes interrupt builds not very reliable.
Thank you for your reply warlord, I took PB out in order to have DE and as you said DE is superior.
I’m trying the 4/4/6 atm to get used to interrupts and focus as well lol I still mess with timing to interrupt important skills but with time I’ll get there, I hope lol
Oh and I’m on EU servers, we can’t duel unfortunately

4/4/6 CI is by far my fav build of mesmer. I’ve been running with sword/focus and staff for quite a while…any other weapons you recommend? I guess I should try GS? I am finding trouble catching people who run away, where as GS would have brought them down. But at the same time I don’t wan to give up my staff skills :s
That immob tho. makes it so easy to hit shatters
Get carried by that build. Anyway, lemme know when you wanna bo5. I don’t mind if you record.
Oh absolutely. Interuppt is “faceroll daze spam” (got called that last night by a warrior) and can easily be played like hambow.
/sarcasm.
Anyway, I think its time for more duels with people, including you and Chaos

Hmm daze mantra is aoe now. Well this makes things interesting and im going to have a LOT of fun with that

Yup. This will be mandatory to find a place on my chillruption build utility bar. I’m drooling at the halting strike damage from both Imbued and this in pug zerg battles.

You interrupted literally every single thing I tried to do that duel
I gave this build a run at the weekend and found it to be quiet fun to play def had more success than other time i have ventured into the mist with my Mesmer i ran rune of the mesmer for a bit to keep them stunned a bit longer while i got use to the play style as i am quite new to the spvp play style
thanks for the build
So I know I said I wasn’t going to theorycraft until patch, but I know for a fact the daze mantra is now aoe. So, after about a day of testing, I can confidently say that 4/4/6 is going to be about infinitely better then 6/6/0/2 because of the hilarious amount of interrupts youre going to get now and that means more might stacks . Anyway, here is prob the build I’m going use after patch and I will prob play around with the weps but staff is definitely going to stay on my bar since chaos storm and aoe daze will be so disgusting: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fhAQJAWRlknpMt1oxRNcrNipxY6biJHSGQDlskxB-TZBFwAMeAAy3fYxlAoaZAAHBAA.
Note: I change my runes constantly from hoelbrak, traveler, pack, strength, or lyssa depending on what wep set I use or what comp I am fighting.
I like that they made MoD an AOE daze. But the radius is very very small.(180) Thinking about it, the chances of getting 2 or more interrupts in a single Power Lock are pretty slim. Its good for WvW, because of the zerg that always happens… and it will be REALLY SWEET when their are multiple rez’ers on a player in sPvP.
But other than that, I don’t know if it will really make much difference. I just wished ANet would do more to the Mantra traits themselves, like combining Mantra Mastery and Protected Mantras. And doing SOMETHING more to Harmonious Mantras.
