Hello. First off, I have 2 mesmers; a human and norn. My human is my “main” mesmer, and I enjoy the build I run on her. My norn was retired for a bit, but I want to try a condition build on her. Are there any good ones for PvE? Or anything that can transfer from PvE to WvW with a few trait changes? Thanks in advance!

Power builds are much better for PvE.

If you want a response with an actual build though, I have no idea what the strongest condi build would be for PvE.

Yeah, my human mesmer runs a power build. I just wanted to try something to kitten around with, mostly.

Condititon builds are more for wvw/pvp. You could make a hybrid build focusing on shatters which would give you lots o confusion+bleeds/burns and what not.

Probably 0/20/20/0/30, with staff, and scepter/pistol (for bleeds) of sword/pistol for the cleave. I’d go mostly zerker gear, but I guess you could slot a bit of carrion or rampagers.

I agree with Nearlight that condition builds is not as popular in PvE, but in WvW/PvP, it’s very useful.

I’ve worked on many hybrid builds and only a few that are successful to have power/condition, usually involves some or mostly shattering. The trait setup that Nearlight said works, and pretty much x/20/x/x/30. I use scepter/pistol with greatsword for my Flowing Images – Shatter or Critical builds for a mix of power and condition damage to help out in pve/dungeons.

I’m currently working on a full condition signet build that is a bit supportive and somewhat tanky with 10/30/30/0/0 or 20/30/20/0/0 (with torch). It’s been working fine with toggling 2-4 mobs at once in open world. Hopefully, it could be one of the first viable signet builds (since signet builds have a bad rep).
