Name: Arganthium
Build: S/F + GS Lockdown
Preference: sPvP, WvW/ Support, Mantra
Hates: More lockdown builds (yes, I know the one I posted is an LD build, but I like to broaden my horizons), Conditions, anything that is full glassIf there aren’t enough people for this, though, I’d gladly try out some other people’s builds.
someone should try this build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fgAQNAW8clwzipXUTjGb9IhpH9G5CH1DsD+vTqgpB-TkACpUS5kyIlUKrUjPWfstA
its a lockdown build(chaos storm is main skill) , depends a lot on the dmg when interrupt
u can troll ppl w it in skyhammer (cannon, take focus instead offhand sword there:p, cause chaotic interrupt: after pulling and u r lucky enuf to interrupt w this then they r immobalized for 4 sec ; on glass for example and they cant dodge out, also take the trait that reflects cc at hammer:p)
u gotta watch ur shatters since it doesnt use DE
it uses both phantasm and shatters to dmg when u cant interrupt atm (use sword4 to interrupt btw, forgot to say above)
i just made this build and it works quite well for duels (didnt try tournament yet)
Nice idea, I would like to partecipate but because of my very limited play time I don’t think I will be able to fully test other’s build.
Nevertheless I’d like someone to try mine and get feedback, if possible.The build is the one I have been enjoying the most in the past few months. It’s a lockdown, mantra, might stacking build 30/10/30/0/0 a little different from others seen in the forum. Here it is:
I run the same in pvp with only exception of runes of speed instead of travelers and berserker amulet.
It would be nice to hearing what people says

inv me to the guild first of all:p
charackter name Ghardiem from eu:p thx in advance!
i would like to test out some builds, prefering non condi dmg ones, (immobalizing etc is still fine)
as long as not condi dmg everything si fine for me, gonna post results after
Giving one bump for great justice.
@Lentil: If we get no takers, I’ll gladly try the build out myself.
Thanks Chaos! I tried shatterlock but I actually haven’t tried the pre evolution, so would use yours too
@Wyrden you should try the build I posted then. It’s really fun roaming and in 10~ 20 fights. You can modify the traits and take it to zerg fights, but it wouldn’t be as effective, still fun though. It’s hybrid because conditions are a big part of it, but only the control ones (immo, chill, cripple, blind) I don’t think I ever make someone bleed or burn them, so no Condi damage. The duration is great, for both Condi and boons, I personally love the 4sec immo and 6 sec chills as well as the 10 sec cripple and 15 sec might.

ur * shall not move* build?
well, it is certainly centered around CI but weapons and sigils are so different (and some traits). I focus on might stacking, Green focuses on condi duration hence the name (very fitting btw )
dunno how Chaos want to organize this… whether everything should be kept in the thread or via pm. To me is the same really… I just would like to thank you for evaluating my build 
This should be called “Mesmer Secret Santa”, lol.
I’d volunteer if I actually had any good build ideas, or enough experience to give fair due to someone else’s.
@Quaelyn: Secret Santa! That’s what I was thinking of but I forgot the name of it.
And what was the build you’ve been using for PvP? I know its a variant of PU of some sort but a bit different, no? Should post it.
It’s just a PU/phantasm hybrid. I posted it up once I think but nobody commented so I assumed it was just as boring as I always thought.
I’m game though.
@trooper: Was hoping for the results to be posted in this thread, that way anyone reading can also learn from it. I haven’t tried your build yet but it definitely looks solid, the lack of ability to boonstrip worries me though… Warriors/Guardians and some Engineers would have a fieldday.
I thought of it.
Since I like having more than one condi removal, option would be
So I often just wait for stability to wear off

@wyrden what I like about the build Is that it’s super adaptable. I usually go sword when roaming on my own, pistol is great because of the immobile and the phantasm. Sometimes if I have staff I’ll change Ci for staff reduction and pick CS instead of the mantra trait. Staff is awesome as well because it benefits from the Condi duration. This set up is good for fighting big groups. There’s a whole lot of things you can do/change around with these trait lines, so power to you
Another thing I like doing is switching the mantra trait for shattered concentration.
