Guild Wars 2

1. Are phantasms affected by % damage bonuses i get from my runes/sigils ?
For example : 10% damage from scholar runes or 5% damage from Sigil of Force etc…
And what about power stacks from bloodlust sigils ?

2. I’m currently gearing up my shatter mesmer for wvw roaming,
and i need tips on sigils/runes choice
After messing around in HotM ive come up with :
- Traveler runes
- GS:Fire,Battle + S/T:Fire,Force
Perhaps bloodlust sigil tho ive never actually used them before

No.

Yes.

In my opinion the best gear for phantasm builds is knights with a mix in of berserker or cavalier. Why? When you have the +30% damage to phantasms they still hit rather hard, and this gives you a lot of defence while still giving you a high damage output. I use this with a 24350 phantasm build which is very strong, but of course there are others such as 26060 etc. I’m sure someone else could chip in there.

If you’re playing shatter, having an energy sigil somewhere is generally a good idea. I have energy on both swaps, but that’s just personal preference. I know having both fire and air on greatsword is popular because of how easy it is to proc both of those sigils using the autoattack. For single target dps, air hits harder than fire and has a lower cd.
