Guild Wars 2

Hello, I’m a new mesmer. I like to play it in SPVP, and I tried a very entertaining Rampager build wich really satisfied me. I am now thinking about switching to a power-based build centered around phantasms and this is what I “created” (it probably existed before I even realized the existence of the mesmer class).

CLICK

Any thoughts? And advice on how to play it effectively?

I apologize if this sounds offensive as that is not the intent, but my initial thought is that if you are new to the class, then there are probably similar builds out there that are already tested and more well-thought-out than yours. I like using a variant of this build from the great Pyroatheist. I’ve had great success with it in hotjoin and tpvp – just my 2 cents.

Couple notes on the original:
1. All sigils share cooldowns, so your Fire sigil is wasted – stick to a stacking (Bloodlust) or static (Force, etc.) sigil for the offhand weapon.
2. Mirror of Anguish is fairly useless, I’d take Bountiful Interruption instead – you can get interrupts pretty easily with Magic Bullet and Illusionary Wave, and the might stacks and boons from BI are pretty awesome.

Thank you for your advice. I just noticed the fire sigil, my bad. Do you really think mirror of Anguish is useless? What about +3% damage reduction for each active illusion (or BI, of course)?
