After few days of spreadsheet’ing I finally got to a point where I can make comparisons of different gear/build/food/etc all while accounting for skill rotations. Now, the mesmer dps spreadsheet (link) will calculate every single damage and bleed tick individually over time and account for the skill rotation AND vulnerability gained from mesmer sword auto-attack depending on when it was applied/removed. Better yet, it will spit out graphs for both damage over time and dps over time. Everyone loves graphs!

For my first round of comparisons, I compared 4 non-mantra builds under a relatively common pug scenario (meta groups use mantra builds anyways) where your party will provide fury, 15 might stacks, and 15 vulnerability and a single banner of discipline.

Mesmer gear was the standard meta – assassins armor/weapons (ascended), ranger runes, 5%/10% sigils, 10% potion. Rotation used for the tests was summon Warden, summon Swordsman, healing signet, summon Swordsman, and then attack with swords aa.

Compared Builds:

  • 2/4/0/4/4
  • 2/4/0/5/3
  • 2/3/0/5/4
  • 5/4/0/5/0

Graphs:

Next, when I get bored, I’ll make graphs of damage/dps for when you ignore Blurred Frenzy and when you use it on cooldown.
