For a few months now I have been running with this in WvW. I always felt inferior to pure Blackwater. But six second cooldown on staff port was too cool for me to pass up. Now that I read about the upcoming changes I decided to share this fun build with you all. PU Bounce:

You have essentially two major bouncers now. The staff clones, and the torch phantasm. Combos generally fall similar to blackwater, such as summon mage>confusing images>illusionary counter>the prestige>swap to staff>chaos storm>phase retreat>chaos armor>phantasmal warlock>phase retreat>repeat. But you have new options, for example shattering 3 clones puts 6 stacks of confusion on someone, add in torch phantasm, confusing images, and illusionary counter and you can counter pretty much any burst. The celerity trait allows you to generate illusions faster which increases the debilitating dissipation rate. But the best part I find is the 6 second phase retreat, which improves combat mobility immensely.
I picked hydromancy and doom because its hard to prevent people from running away with PU condi builds, but blinking next to a person and putting on them the best (imho) conditions in the game goes a long way.

I’d love to here some input from the community. So what do you guys think?

If you’re running Condi don’t summon iWarlock unless using it for shatter fodder.
