Above is Final Build

After Losing miserably to pyro’s overpowered Phantasm Build the other day, i was inspired to make a Phantasm build. AT the same time I am so in love the concept of interrupts so here’s what i came up:

100% condition duration for the immobilize and bleeds,

I call it the HappySckamow build (He helped refine the original build)

GS is suited better for CI for gs #5
Switched pistol for sword because CI scales better with AOE daze.

Phantasms for GS and Sword are also better IMO because they are hard hitters compared to the Pistol one.

I also tried using Sigil of Nullification recently, I couldnt say it was great due to the fact that it procs even when the foe has no boons on them.

Its a interesting build. However it’s not something I have not seen before.

It is very effective in a 1v1 situation. However it is not good for team fights (unless you are a person that picks off the target) due to the lack of a aoe interrupt potential.

This build however is very effective in shutting down a single target because you can chain dazes from mantra of distraction. Which if used as a interrupt can really shut down a target because the daze will shut down skill use and the immobilize will shut down movement. Which is essentially a stun. However even if the target uses a stun breaker they still have to deal with the immobilize.

Overall it shuts down a single targets ability to dodge, and activate non stun breaker skills. Making the target a perfect sitting duck for the phantasms.

Its a very solid concept.

Edit- maybe try switching out illusionary disenchanter for null field. I find disenchanter pales in comparison to null field. In boon removal, condition removal, and usability

You can use the summon of the phantasmal swordsman or the leap / swap from main hand sword for chaos armor. Also null field is unaffected by blind unlike disenchanter

Looks good! CI is amazing trait with some +condi duration.

Have you thought of dropping Duelist’s Discipline for Phantasmal Fury? It’s quite a damage boost.

oh look another 20/20/30 build with a new name. its been the 10th?

Nothing personal, so sorry, don’t want to read any further. I’m somehow tired of this setup.

And your new build is posted where, please?

What makes you think anyone cares if you want to read it or not? If you don’t want to read it, then don’t read it. There’s no need to rain on the parade of someone who made an effort to try to make something new and share it with the community.

I haven’t seen too many builds here that focus on CI, so dunno what blutsteins problem is.

Especially when his build is clone spamming condi build with perplexity.

btw, there are other traits to take in dom, dueling and chaos besides those taken with blackwater. I think folks tend to forget that.

I have a build (chillruption, see signature) which focuses around CI but yeah you don’t see too many out there and I’m just now starting to see more pop up.

What’s with the negativity blustein? Atleast Im not posting any PU builds which a lot of people are using. Not a majority of people use interrupt builds.

This is really interesting. I have similar traits already i can easily switch to this. I’ve been interested in trying something similar before !

Just cuz things are the same traits doesn’t mean its the same build…. some people are just here to troll, ignore them

like i said, nothing personal, i use an interrupt build too.

Nothing wrong with your build, i’m simply tired of this 20/20/30 setup. The last 5 new builds i load the builder and hey, again a ‘new’ 20/20/30 setup.

I know it works fine, so again: nothing personal its only my feeling about it.

@Noss: you sir are clearly the winner.

Dude, that’s straight ignorant.

Why would you judge a build based off the trait spread without actually looking into the spec? Hell, why judge anything on the surface when you have no knowledge of it’s contents?

This build is literally nothing like Blackwater, and if anything it proves that not all 20/20/30 builds have to be the same. Hell, there’s not even any trace of stealth in the build.

@StickerHappy: You should enter the build into the BoTM dude, it looks really interesting and very solid.

I like how all three of your Chaos traits are defensive/lockdown-oriented, yet you still manage to add some damage/control from Domination. I’m starting to feel like 20 Dom/30 Chaos is a strong core setup for a control build and this build furthers that theory.

.. Though, could you explain the gear choice? I saw that and went cross-eyed.

I heard somewhere Alissah mentioned that it only affected 1 phantasm?

Thanks..

Oh the gear? I only used celestial because of the higher crit percentage it gave than berserker. I was waiting for gw2skills to update before i settled. the 10% condition damage increase from chaos 25 wasnt there and used celestial to see how it would look like.

But you know what? I miss CS. haha

Phantasml fury affects all phantasms.

It looks fairly decent I would love to try it, you know what really sucks though? It’s so kittening expensive, that for most people it’s way beyond achievable. 4 ascended weps? All WvW perfect infusions? Runes of the Traveler? Way too much my friend for most anyone to try it

Just using using exotic will get you near identical results.

Exactly, the build will not be affected by deducting a little bit of stat points. most impt part is the condition duration.

Updated build. Also using mental torment instead of HS for the damage consistency of shattering as opposed to the freaky scaling of HS.

Interesting choice on the sigil, would at least somewhat bridge the gap for not taking shattered concentration which is important in most team specs. I think I like sigil of energy a little better, though I’ve played it with hydromancy to good success. At the very least, could maybe go hydromancy on Sw-Sw (due to melee range) and energy on GS.

You going to post the updated WvW build?

Oh, and I almost spewed my coffee this morning when I read the new build name

I will. haha. I can’t think of a better name for it.

Hey Sticker, I really like your build. I like that interrupt is up and coming now, so it inspired me to mess around with it and make one myself. While I like the build, it is something I sort of just theory crafted using elements from a bunch of lockdown builds around here, and something I really liked about your build was the condition duration, so I sort of made a power/condition hybrid consisting on condition duration rather than condi damage. It’s a 30/0/30/10/0, I won’t post it here cause that would totally be hijacking, but I wanted to let you know and thank you.

^^Thank you. I appreciate it. Pm your build.

Np, sent you the build
