Power PU – http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fhAQNAsfRlknpRtFrxMNcrNSpxY6cm5GSGQCl8kyB-T1SDwA9U+lf/hDnAgEKBfpqSlDBwO1KApPAg5vBPAAJHBASBExyI-w
Power PU builds are safe, even when you roll glassy. As long as you dont get caught by a hammer train, you will be able to avoid getting ganked with ease, unless you’re being focused by multiple people. use your stealth up time to get your phantasms up and prepare bursts with izerker and Mindstab or Mirror blade.
Power Interrupt – http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fhAQNAsaWlknpRtlpxGNcrNipxY6XiJHSGwBlskxB-TVTDwA9Uylf/BfKHgpWxhTAwLVVqcEAIpJAkeAAm/UoEcwDAQyhAgUARsMC-w
Power Interrupt builds don’t rely as much on stealth and positioning, more on timing. Landing interrupts is crucial , so dont waste your chaos storm, or your MoD charges, or your pistol 5 without just cause. This is an incredibly fun build and play-style. It’s tankier than your traditional glass-cannon power-PU or Shatter, since your using considerably less stealth to break targeting. When you interrupt your enemies, you gain 5 stacks of might and a random boon, in addition to apply immobilize and any one of a few soft CC conditions. Use interrupts to buy time for your phantasms to lay into your enemies.

Your typical, balls to the wall shatter build. Personally, I don’t use a torch, but I know it makes positioning yourself much easier, and the stealth buys time to get up phantasms, or run your heal, so i’ve included it in the build. You’re glassy, but if you have clones up, you can have up to 4 seconds of invulnerability, and you have access to the sword 2 skill, which is also a vital way to avoid damage. The rest is up to your positioning. Check out this video to get a better idea of how to position yourself in a zerg fight as a shatter mesmer.
