Hello. Didnt play for a long time, and never played mesmer. But i decided to try it out this time, and what drived me most is idea of shatter with condi presure (im trying to make build based on this since ive returned, about month now). It changed a lot from original idea with PU, to smthing like this

Build is created only with idea for wvw solo/small grp play. Id like to know if smthing like this is viable, befour i go for ascended farm (some parts of this equipment i already have, about 50%).
Any advice is wellcome. Also some questions.
1- Mantra of resolve. Yes, no? If no what else would work better for dealing with condis?
2- Mental torment. Would empowered illusions be better for overall dmg output?
3- I have a 2nd pistol with empty slot. Sigil of doom or hydromancy?(after 25 bloodlust stacks). Same about GS (hydromancy or doom?). Or something else?
4- Armor. Atm its less then 2300. Im used to bunker ranger with around 3k armor, and atm playing Blackdevils build with some random exotics i have (soldier/zerker), with 2600 armor. Is 2300 to low?
Anything else that comes to your minds:D.

Sorry for bad English:/

Seems like a fairly standard Shatter build set up, gear is very middle of the road and without Food/might your Condition damage doesnt suggest taking Maim is the best option for you Maybe boosting that a bit more imo… Armor should be enough to take a few hits and keep going tho, unless its a pure glass thief, then you’re kinda screwed.

Mantra of Resolve is a solid choice for condition removals, Null Field could also work to your advantage as it rips boons off targets at the same time.

Mental Torment lends itself best to shatter builds, Empowered is more for Phantasm builds where you will be keeping them out to do most of your damage and not shattering.
