Hey I´m Flux. What do you think about this build.

I made this build before bunker mesmer was a thing. It was really good and effective with a team and I liked it. The idea of this is to get illusion of life and moa two times with CS. If you get it off it completely changed the fight around. Enemy team uses cooldowns for the stomp but then the downed player suddenly gets up and some one gets moad. That moa was easy to kill and it fully revived the player who just got illusion of lifed. Fight was prettymuch won just like that. The awesome thing is that you can do it again because CS.
But when bunker meta started this build got useless. No one died so you cant do anything with illusion of life. Now that ppl started dieing again I think this build might be good.
The problem is that this build is not as effective as it can be if not playing with a team who knows what illusion of life does and how to focus moas. You will need some peels cos you can be killed pretty easy by a power build like thief, revenant or DH. It still takes some time tho cos so good defensive traits. You have two ranged weapons so you can apply damage from a safe distance so you dont get focused very often and its safer to cast illusion of life and moa.
You can hold points in 1v1 for some time and even kill some condition builds. Your role is to win team fights. Mesmer just cant 1v1 so it does not matter that this build cant 1v1 everything either. You still have some burst, moa and portal.
Illusion of life on about 50 sec cooldown with continuum split is just so strong imo.
I´m not sure if this build is fully optimised and if something works even better but this is what I have come up with. I dont play with a team anymore so I have not played this build that much and have not tryed everything out. This is just about the idea of using Illusion of life with CS.
