Guild Wars 2

So ive been running the meta PU build and condis are a bit annoying.

In this build is the generosity sigil the only source of cleanse or am i missing something?

I don’t find null field worth running over portal.

What should i give up for Inspiration if i am facing a condi heavy comp? Chaos?

You need Domination for control/damage and Dueling for illusion generation, so yes. Chaos is the only line you can give up without sacrificing a lot of your offensive capability.

That means no PU.

Are you sure?
Because now you have to choose between giving up PU, giving up portal, or continuing to get roflstomped by burn guards and engis.

You can run illusion over chaos to get the pledge which condi cleanses and also reduce the CD of torch skill which partly makes up for the loss of PU.
Or you run inspiration which has more condi cleanse and some additional healing.

Don’t forget the reason why PU is meta is because it is the main build used in competitive tournaments. But in those, conditions are rare, contrary to lower MMR.

With PU nerfed, chaos is less mandatory anyway.

Yeah I would rather give up PU than Portal

Thanks everyone! Appreciate!

Welcome, as said Dom/Duel/Inspiration works well.

Otherwise you could try mantra of resolve – but you’ll have to drop either portal or decoy.

When Chrono comes you could spec it with hoelbrak/melandru runes.

If running Dom/Duel/Illusions (I don’t think many people do for power anymore) then of course take the torch trait unless playing double ranged.

In any case, as a mesmer, avoidance of conditions is still top priority – unless you are a Chrono/Inspiration Melandru/Lemongrass anti condition monster in wvw…
